Problems solved by technology

The method utilizes isobutene mixed gas and m-p-cresol mixture to undergo alkylation reaction in liquid phase at the same time and separate m-cresol and p-cresol. The mixture is used as a raw material, and the pure products of m-cresol and p-cresol are obtained through liquid-phase alkylation reaction and separation, which overcomes the shortcomings of low utilization rate of alkylating agent and serious environmental pollution in gas-phase alkylation reaction in the prior art, and at the same time Solved the defect of high production cost caused by the use of high-purity isobutene as the alkylating agent in the gas-phase alkylation reaction

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for separating an m-cresol and p-cresol mixture by a liquid-phase alkylation method. According to the method, alkylation reaction between isobutene mixed gas and the m-cresol and p-cresol mixture are performed through a fixed-bed reactor under the liquid phase state, the reacted mixture is separated to obtain metacresol and paracresol, the isobutene mixed gas serves as an alkylating agent, the m-cresol and p-cresol mixture serves as a raw material, the alkylation reaction is performed for the alkylating agent and the m-cresol and p-cresol mixture, and the treated mixture is separated to obtain pure metacresol and pure paracresol. The method overcomes the shortcomings of low utilization rate and serious environmental pollution of alkylating agents in gas-phase alkylation reaction in the prior art and solves the problems that production cost is high as high-purity isobutene serves as the alkylating agent in the gas-phase alkylation reaction.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for separating m-cresol by liquid-phase alkylation method, specifically, liquid-phase alkylation simultaneously separates m-cresol and a mixture of p-cresol, thereby obtaining high-purity m-cresol and p-cresol p-cresol belongs to the field of separation and purification of chemical products. Background technique [0002] Cresol is a widely used organic chemical intermediate. Among them, p-cresol can be used in industrial sectors such as pesticides, dyes, plastics, and medicine. m-cresol is an important raw material for the synthesis of organic intermediates, and also has important applications in color film developers, synthetic resins, and adhesives. Therefore, high-purity m-p-cresol has a good market prospect and great development potential, and has an extremely important impact on the development of my country's economy and chemical industry. But so far, although a lot of work on the separation of m-p-cre...
