The invention belongs to the technical field of
fine chemical engineering, and discloses a method for preparing 9, 10-
anthraquinone through oxidation of 9, 10-dihydroanthracene, 9, 10-dihydroanthracene is taken as a
raw material, tert-butyl hydroperoxide is taken as an oxidant, in a water
phase reaction system, RuOx-Ce0. 7Zr0. 3O2 is taken as a catalyst, 9, 10-dihydroanthracene is subjected to selective oxidation under the mild conditions of 40 DEG C and normal pressure, the conversion rate of dihydroanthracene is 100%, and 9, 10-
anthraquinone is prepared through oxidation of 9, 10-dihydroanthracene. And the selectivity of the 2, 10-
anthraquinone is 90%. According to the present invention, the environmentally-friendly dihydroanthracene is adopted as the
raw material to construct the green and efficient anthraquinone catalytic
synthesis system, the traditional anthraquinone production process is replaced, the emission of the strong acid
wastewater and the heavy
metal wastewater is avoided, the reaction condition is mild, the conversion rate of the 9, 10-dihydroanthracene and the selectivity of the 9, 10-anthraquinone are high, and the good industrial application prospect is provided.
