Problems solved by technology

The disadvantage of this method is that the activity of the catalyst is not high enough, especially when the impurity content in the starting phenol is relatively small (0.1% by mass and less), which means that the content of 2-methylbenzofuran in the final product is reduced only slightly small range

Embodiment 1

[0025] a) Preparation of catalyst

[0026] 431g ZrOCl 2 ·8H 2 The O salt was dissolved in 5.2 L of distilled water. 332mL of NH with a concentration of about 25% 4 The OH solution was dropped into the above-formed solution over 20 minutes. The resulting precipitate was filtered off and washed with water on a Buchner funnel to remove ammonium chloride. The washed precipitate was dried in a drying oven at 110°C for 24 hours. The dried precipitate was ground in a grinder and the resulting fine powder was sieved through a 180 μm sieve. The mass of the powder is 190g or 147g which is based on ZrO 2 calculate.

[0027] The powder was sulfated by treating it with 1.14 L of 1N sulfuric acid solution for 1 hour. Then, the resulting mixture was filtered to remove excess solution, and the product was dried (10 h) at 110° C. and further used for shaping.

[0028] 3 liters of 100 g / L sodium aluminate solution was used to produce pseudoboehmite. Precipitation was carried out by si...

Embodiment 2

[0039] The catalyst was prepared as in Example 1, but in the mixed powdered aluminum hydroxide, the ratio of boehmite and pseudoboehmite was 3:1 (based on Al 2 o 3 calculate). The zirconium hydroxide precipitate was sulfated with 380 ml of sulfuric acid solution. The mixed powdered aluminum hydroxide used for mixing with the powdered zirconium sulfated hydroxide was 13.9 g. The remaining parameters are the same as in Example 1.

[0040] The total content of aluminum and zirconium sulfates in the resulting baked (final) catalyst sample is 5.0% by mass based on SO 4 Calculated, the total content of aluminum oxides and sulfates is 5% by mass, based on Al 2 o 3 calculate.

[0041] The test of the obtained aluminum-zirconium catalyst used in the process of refining phenol was carried out at a temperature of 110°C and a feed rate of constant volume of raw materials for 6h -1 next. The resulting phenol had the following composition (ppm): HA<1; α-methylstyrene<1; 2-methylbenz...

Embodiment 3

[0043] The samples were taken from an aluminum zirconium catalyst whose preparation and composition are described in Example 1. According to the above method, at a temperature of 90°C and a feed rate of constant volume of raw materials V=1h -1 Test below. The obtained phenol had the following composition (ppm): HA<1; α-methylstyrene<1; 2-methylbenzofuran-58; OM<5; AP<1;

Abstract

The object of the present invention is to generate high-purity phenol by converting the impurities present in the phenol raw material, which is obtained by decomposing cumene peroxide. This goal is achieved by refining phenol containing a mixture of aliphatic and aromatic carbonyl compounds using an aluminum zirconium catalyst. The catalyst contains a mixture of oxides and sulfates of aluminum and zirconium, and the total content of sulfates of aluminum and zirconium is 5-15% by mass (based on SO 4 ionic calculations), and the total content of aluminium oxides and sulfates is 5-30% by mass (calculated on alumina). The catalyst can be prepared by treating zirconium hydroxide twice with sulfuric acid in the sulfating and peptizing steps, and using alumina consisting of a mixture of boehmite and pseudoboehmite in a mass ratio of 1:3 to 3:1 .

Description

[0001] This application is a US non-provisional application based on, and claims priority from, Russian application 2002103669 filed February 8, 2002, which is hereby incorporated by reference. Background technique [0002] The present invention relates to the fields of chemistry and petrochemistry, and more particularly to a process for the production of phenol and acetone by the cumene process. [0003] Phenol, which is produced by decomposing cumyl hydroperoxide with an acidic catalyst, is used as a raw material and cannot meet consumer requirements because it contains hydroxyacetone (HA), 2-methylbenzofuran (2-MBF ), α-methylstyrene (AMS), acetophenone (AP), mesityl oxide (MO) and dimethylbenzyl alcohol (DMPC) mixtures, and these impurities need to be removed. [0004] The relatively pure final product, phenol, is obtained by fractional distillation of the decomposition products of cumene perhydroxide, separating lower and higher boiling components [US Patent 4251325 (1978...
