Abstract

A system and method for continuously synthesizing mononitrotoluene in an ultrasonic microreactor. Pure toluene is used as a raw material, and a mixed acid of fuming nitric acid and concentrated sulfuric acid is used as a nitrating agent, and the two are mixed in a microreactor through continuous conveying equipment. , while applying ultrasound of a specific frequency and power. Ultrasonic cavitation causes violent disturbance in the fluid, which can strengthen the mixing between fluids and increase the yield of mononitrotoluene. The temperature of the reaction mixture is controlled at 0-60°C, and the reaction residence time is 2-30s. The invention shortens the synthesis reaction time of mononitrotoluene (the prior art is 10-40min), realizes continuous production, and is easy to integrate and parallel enlargement.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the fields of microchemical technology and ultrasonic application, in particular to a method for rapidly synthesizing mononitrotoluene in a microreactor by using ultrasonic waves. Background technique [0002] Mononitrotoluene is an intermediate for large-scale industrial production of fine chemical products such as pesticides, dyes, and pharmaceuticals. Mononitrotoluene is mainly prepared by nitration of toluene, and the nitrating agents used mainly include nitric acid, nitric sulfur mixed acid, nitrogen oxides and organic nitrating agents. Nitrosulfur mixed acid has been used as the main means of nitrating toluene because of its strong nitrifying ability and low price. The mixed acid nitration process of toluene is: toluene diffuses into the mixed acid and is absorbed by the nitronium ions (NO 2 + ) attack, the product nitrotoluene is produced and diffuses back into the organic phase. Because the nitration reaction rate o...
