The invention belongs to the technical field of preparation of
epoxy compounds, and particularly discloses a preparation method of
epoxy chloropropane. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, mixing a composite catalyst with
glycerol, introducing the mixture into a four-stage tandem reaction kettle, introducing
hydrogen chloride gas into the four-stage tandem reaction kettle, and carrying out chlorohydrination reaction to obtain dichloropropanol; the obtained dichloropropanol is rectified, the rectified dichloropropanol and
lime milk are introduced into a cyclization reaction
tower for cyclization reaction, and
epoxy chloropropane and cyclization liquid are obtained; and carrying out post-treatment on the cyclized liquid to obtain
calcium chloride. The invention discloses application of four stages of tandem reaction kettles, which improves the
mass transfer effect among raw materials and is beneficial to sufficient reaction. The composite catalyst has excellent catalytic activity and dichloropropanol selectivity. For low-purity
glycerol, the yield is relatively high; the invention also realizes the byproduct
calcium chloride, and improves the economic benefit.
