Abstract

The invention provides a preparation method of neopentyl glycol, and belongs to the technical field of the preparation of alcohols. The preparation method includes the following steps: (1) regulating the pH value of a hydroxypivalaldehyde solution to 7.5-10; (2) obtaining a neopentyl glycol crude product by catalytic hydrogenation of hydroxypivalaldehyde treated by the step (1) under the effect of a hydrogenation catalyst at the temperature of 110-140 DEG C and with the pressure of 2.0-5.0 Mpa; and (3) purifying the neopentyl glycol crude product obtained in the step (2). The content of esters and other side products in the neopentyl glycol crude product prepared by the preparation method of the neopentylene glycol is extremely low, and the yield and purity of the neopentyl glycol are improved. In addition, a hydroxypivalaldehyde raw material system can be directly used for catalytic hydrogenation without any treatment, processes of aldol condensation and catalytic hydrogenation for preparation of the neopentyl glycol can be reduced, and the production efficiency can be improved.
