Abstract
Description
Technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a method for selective hydrogenation of petroleum hydrocarbons, in particular to a method for selective hydrogenation of methyl-α-methylstyrene, which achieves a combination of high conversion rate and high selectivity at a lower catalyst cost. Background technique
[0002] Methyl-α-methylstyrene is the main component in the light tar by-product of the m-cresol production plant. In the plant that produces 12,000 tons of m-cresol and 8,000 tons of 2,6-di-tert-butyl-p-cresol per year, The output of light tar by-products is 1.0-1.2 tons / m-cresol and 1.2-1.5 tons / p-cresol. The by-products of light tar are rich in cumene (50-60 wt%) and methyl-α-methylbenzene Ethylene (20-30wt%), light tar by-products are cut and separated, 88-90wt% of the product is extracted for hydrogenation refining, so that methyl-α-methylstyrene is converted into isopropyl toluene and returned to the oxidation unit for oxidation , Reproduction of m-cresol or p-cre...
