Abstract

The invention discloses a method for synthesizing ethyl benzene and diethyl. It takes benzene and ethanol as raw material and comprises following steps: (A) benzene ethylization: heating benzene and ethanol for gasification, feeding them into reactor filled with molecular screen catalyst, the molar ratio between benzene and ethanol is 4- 8: 1, and the condition is at 350- 420 Deg. C and 0.7- 2 MPa; (B) recovering benzene: distilling reactant of ethylization, separating and getting mixture of benzene and ethyl benzene and diethyl; dewatering recovered benzene and using it as material for ethylization in step (A); (C) separating and refining: distilling said mixture, separating and getting ethyl benzene and diethyl. The invention replaces ethane with ethanol and finishes ethylization with one step. It is characterized by simnple process, high utilization rate of ethanol and saved investment and operational cost.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for synthesizing ethylbenzene and diethylbenzene, in particular to a method for directly synthesizing ethylbenzene and diethylbenzene by using ethanol and benzene as raw materials. Background technique [0002] Ethylbenzene is an important petrochemical raw material, mainly used in the production of polymer monomer - polystyrene. Various methods can be used to produce ethylbenzene. The commonly used industrial method is to use ethylene and benzene as raw materials. It is prepared through the alkylation reaction of ethylene and benzene under the action of a catalyst. The catalyst used is mainly ALCL 3 and zeolite molecular sieves. Among them, the high-temperature gas-phase or liquid-phase alkylation method catalyzed by zeolite molecular sieve has achieved great success; while the liquid-phase alkylation method catalyzed by zeolite molecular sieve has the advantages of low reaction temperature and less by-products.
