The invention relates to a process for suspended hydrogenating of an
anthraquinone compound. The process comprises the following specific steps that a working solution containing
alkyl anthraquinone and a powdered suspended
bed catalyst are sufficiently mixed in a working
station preparation kettle, and the mixture is pumped into a suspended
bed hydrogenation
tower through a pump, wherein the working solution in the
tower is mixed with the
hydrogen and moves upwards at a certain speed; a hydrogenated liquid flows out from the top of a suspended
bed and enters a gas-liquid separator, and unreacted
hydrogen is discharged from the top end of the gas-liquid separator and is mixed with new
hydrogen to enter the bottom of the hydrogenation
tower; a hydrogenated liquid containing the catalyst is discharged from the bottom of the gas-liquid separator and enters a
settling tower, the catalyst in the
settling tower drops to the bottom of the tower, the working solution containing a large amount of catalyst is pumped into the preparation kettle through a
mud pump, and a clarified hydrogenated liquid at the upper part of the
settling tower passes through a filter; the hydrogenated liquid is filtered and then enters a subsequent
oxidation process. According to the process for hydrogenation of the
anthraquinone, the catalyst is uniformly distributed in the reactor, the
utilization rate of the catalyst is high, the gas-liquid
heat transfer speed is high, the hydrogenation efficiency is high, the space time yield is stable and the like.
