The invention relates to a
continuous production process of p-
xylylene dichloride and a device, and belongs to the technical field of organic
chemical synthesis. The device provided by the invention comprises a
feed tank, wherein the
feed tank is successively connected with a third order
chloride kettle, a second order
chloride kettle, a first order
chloride kettle, a knockout drum and a rectifying
tower; the first order chloride kettle is connected with the second order chloride kettle in parallel, and the second order chloride kettle is connected with the third order chloride kettle in parallel; the
continuous production process comprises the steps of mixing paraxylene and an
ionic liquid catalyst, then introducing
chlorine to the mixture under the
irradiation of an LED (light-emitting
diode)
light source, obtaining p-
xylylene dichloride reaction liquid after the third order
chlorine reaction, cooling and separating the p-
xylylene dichloride reaction liquid, performing
vacuum distillation, then collecting
cut fraction to obtain the p-xylylene dichloride. The
continuous production process of the p-xylylene dichloride solves the problem in the existing process that the production is discontinuous, the product yield is low and the production cost is high, has the characteristics of simple technological process, short
production cycle and high product purity, and the device is simple in structure and is liable to operate.
