Abstract

The invention relates to a method for synthesizing ethylbenzene from ethanol and benzene. The method is used for mainly solving the problems that the traditional ethylbenzene production process must depend on ethylene as a raw material and has high raw material cost. The problems are well solved by adopting the technical scheme as follows: the method comprises the following steps: (a) the benzene and the ethanol enter an alkylation reactor filled with a ZSM-5 nano-scale molecular sieve catalyst to be reacted under a gaseous phase condition according to the mol ratio of (2-8):1 so that a mixture 103 including benzene, ethylbenzene, diethylbenzene and water is obtained; (b) the mixture 103 sequentially passes through a benzene recovery tower, an ethylbenzene recovery tower and a poly-ethylbenzene recovery tower so that the water, the benzene, the ethylbenzene and the diethylbenzene in the mixture are separated; and (c) a part of the separated benzene and the diethylbenzene enter an alkyl transfer reactor under a gaseous phase condition according to the weight ratio of (2-10):1 and are in contact with the ZSM-5 molecular sieve catalyst to carry out alkyl transfer reaction so that the ethylbenzene is generated. According to the method, the ethylene is replaced by ethanol as a raw material; the ethanol and the benzene are used for synthesizing the ethylbenzene; the raw material cost is low; and the method can be applied in the industrial production of the ethylbenzene.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for synthesizing ethylbenzene from ethanol and benzene, which mainly solves the problem that the conventional production process of ethylbenzene must rely on ethylene as a raw material and the raw material cost is high. Background technique [0002] Ethylbenzene is an important chemical raw material and an indispensable key raw material for the production of styrene. Most ethylbenzene manufacturers produce ethylbenzene for the production of styrene in their own styrene plants, and more than 90% of ethylbenzene is used for Styrene is produced. Styrene is an important basic organic chemical raw material, mainly used in the field of polymer materials to prepare polystyrene and its copolymers, such as ABS, AS, styrene-butadiene rubber and its unsaturated polyester. In addition, styrene as an organic reaction Intermediates are also widely used in pharmaceutical, paint, pigment and textile industries. Along with the automo...
