Embodiment 1

[0026] Catalyst preparation: Weigh Fe(NO 3 ) 3 9H 2 O 404g, Mg(NO 3 ) 2 ·6H 2 O 51.2g and Ce(NO 3 ) 3 ·6H 2 O 2.17g was mixed and dissolved in 800mL ethanol, and then it was slowly mixed with 28% concentrated ammonia water 700mL containing 4g PEG in a co-current manner under normal temperature ultrasonic conditions, and the ultrasonic wave was continued for 30min after the addition, and then the precipitate was filtered. Wash and dry at 120°C for 6h. The obtained solid is then roasted at 450°C for 8 hours, and finally the solid is ground into fine particles, and then crushed into small particles of 10 to 20 meshes after tableting. The obtained basic metal oxide catalyst is Fe 1 Mg 0.2 Ce 0.05 / o.

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for preparing o-cresol, which is characterized by comprising the following steps: uniformly mixing phenol with methanol by a mass ratio 1: (0.5-4), and then pumping the mixture into a reaction tube containing alkylate catalyst, introducing inert carrier gas into the reaction tube, and obtaining o-cresol after condensing and recycling the reaction product. The reaction conditions comprise normal atmosphere, reaction temperature of 280 to 450 DEG C, and the airspeed of incoming stock of 0.8-1.8h. The method has advantages of simple technical process, high selectivity of o-cresol, no generation of by-products such as meta-cresol, p-cresol and anisole relatively low selectivity of 2, 6-dimethyl phenol and long service life of the catalyst.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing o-cresol, in particular to a method for preparing o-cresol with basic metal oxides as catalysts and phenol and methanol as raw materials. Background technique [0002] o-cresol, also known as o-cresol, is a colorless crystal with a strong phenol smell, slightly soluble in water, soluble in ethanol, ether, chloroform and hot water, and is mainly used as a synthetic resin, pesticide, medicine, dye, and antioxidant and other raw materials. [0003] The methods for industrial production of o-cresol include: natural separation method, o-toluidine diazotization method, toluene chlorination hydrolysis method, and phenol-methanol alkylation method. The first three methods have complex process, serious environmental pollution, and many by-products, and are generally not used in large-scale industrial production at present. [0004] The phenol-methanol alkylation method uses phenol and methanol as raw materials t...
