The invention discloses a continuous preparation method of
pyridine N-oxides. The method comprises the steps that a catalyst TS-1
molecular sieve and
distilled water are added into a
slurry reactor, the temperature is increased to 70-90 DEG C, the pressure is adjusted to be 0-1.5 MPa, then, a
pyridine compound and
hydrogen peroxide are added, and the air speed of the
pyridine compound is adjusted to be 1-10 h<-1>, and the air speed of the
hydrogen peroxide is adjusted to be 2-20 h<-1>; the
molar ratio of the pyridine compound to the
hydrogen peroxide is 1:1-1.1; the pyridine compound and the
hydrogen peroxide are subjected to an oxidation reaction to generate a crude N-pyridine
oxide,
distillation separation and
drying are performed to obtain the pyridine N-oxides, and the deactivated catalyst TS-1
molecular sieve is activated and continues to be adopted as a catalyst for use. According to the method, the
titanium silicalite
molecular sieve is adopted as the catalyst, the catalyst is high in repeated utilization ratio, the
catalysis effect is good, the service life is long, the pyridine conversion rate and the pyridine N-
oxide selectivity is high, and the effective
utilization rate of the
hydrogen peroxide is high; the
slurry reactor is adopted as the reactor, operation is easy, postprocessing is simple,
continuous production can be achieved, and the method is suitable for large-scale industrial production.
