Problems solved by technology

The mixture of m-cresol and p-cresol is first obtained from the synthesis of toluene, and then pure m-cresol and pure p-cresol are obtained respectively through operations such as tert-butylation, rectification, and dealkylation, because alkylation must And the operation of dealkylation has the disadvantages of cumbersome operation and high cost
[0004] In addition, m-cresol can be extracted from coal tar. First, phenol, o-cresol, m-cresol, p-cresol, 6 xylenol isomers and other mixtures of higher phenols are obtained, and then phenol, o-cresol, and o-cresol are obtained by rectification. Cresol, a mixture of m-cresol and p-cresol, and a mixture of xylenol cannot obtain pure m-cresol, although m-cresol and p-cresol mixtures can be separated by complex crystallization (complexing agent is generally urea) Part of the m-cresol, but the remaining large amount of low-value m-cresol content of less than 50% m-p-cresol mixture cannot be processed, resulting in high costs

Embodiment 1

[0049] Using industrial cresol as raw material, wherein the weight percentages of o-, m-, p-cresol and xylenol are respectively 24%, 42%, 28%, 6%, the isomerization reactor is a fixed-bed reactor, and the catalyst is Hydrogen type ZSM-5, the ratio of silicon to aluminum is 38, and the reaction space velocity is 0.4h -1 , the reaction temperature is 400°C, and the reaction pressure is 0.2Mpa. The reaction product is separated by rectification to obtain a mixture of xylenol product, o-cresol and m-p-cresol, and the separated o-cresol is returned to the fixed-bed reactor to carry out the isomerization reaction again.

[0050] Using urea as complexing agent, the molar ratio of its added amount to the m-cresol in the m-p-cresol mixture is 0.6:1, the complexation reaction temperature is 60°C, and the time is 2h. After the reaction is completed, slowly add petroleum ether with a boiling range of 60-90°C from the solvent tank 1, and the mass ratio of the amount of petroleum ether to ...

[0054] The experimental device and operation are the same as in Example 1, except that the isomerization catalyst is hydrogen type ZSM-5, and the silicon-aluminum ratio is 120. The experimental results are shown in Table 1.

Embodiment 3

[0056] The experimental device and operation are the same as in Example 1, except that the isomerization catalyst is mordenite. The experimental results are shown in Table 1.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for converting o-cresol or p-cresol into m-cresol with high productivity. The method at least comprises the following steps: during a technology of extracting m-cresol from m-cresol and p-cresol mixture complexation, after a complexing crystallizing method is adopted to isolate partial m-cresol, the residual m-cresol and p-cresol mixture with m-cresol content less than 50% is regarded as raw material solution, and isomerization is carried out to raw material solution again.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for producing m-cresol with a high yield, in particular, relates to a method for converting o-cresol or p-cresol into m-cresol with a high yield, the method at least includes the following steps: 1. In the process of extracting m-cresol by complexation of p-cresol mixture, the remaining m-cresol mixture with a m-cresol content lower than 50% after separating part of m-cresol by complex crystallization method is used as a raw material solution to carry out iso-cresol again. structured. Background technique [0002] m-cresol is an important chemical product, which can be widely used as an intermediate in the synthesis of vitamin E, pyrethroid pesticides, spices, and antioxidants. [0003] At present, m-cresol is mainly synthesized from toluene and extracted from coal tar. The mixture of m-cresol and p-cresol is first obtained from the synthesis of toluene, and then pure m-cresol and pure p-cresol are obtained r...
