Abstract

The present invention hydrogenolyzes alpha, alpha-dimethyl benzyl alcohol in solvent into isopropyl benzene with hydrogen or organic compound as hydrogen source at reaction temperature of 30-100 deg.c under multiphase Pd base catalyst. The present invention has alpha, alpha-dimethyl benzyl alcohol converting rate greater than 96 % and isopropyl benzene selectivity greater than 99 %. The said process may be used in the hydrogenolysis of alpha, alpha-dimethyl benzyl alcohol as the co-product of propylene epoxidation process to prepare propylene oxide with cumene hydroperoxide as oxidant to realize circular utilization of isopropyl benzene. The said technology may be used in recovering propylene from tail gas generated in the process of producing propylene chloride or polypropylene, and may be also used in the propylene oxide producing line.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing cumene, in particular to a method for preparing cumene by catalytic hydrogenolysis of α,α-dimethylbenzyl alcohol. Background technique [0002] Cumene is an important organic chemical raw material, which can be used to prepare phenol and acetone, and can also be used as a component of high antiknock gasoline to improve the quality of gasoline. [0003] Propylene oxide (PO) is also an important basic organic chemical raw material. At present, it is mainly produced by the chlorohydrin method and the Halcon method (indirect oxidation method) in industry. The Halcon method uses organic peroxides as oxidants to epoxidize propylene to obtain propylene oxide, and a large number of co-products are generated. If propylene oxide is produced by epoxidizing propylene oxide with cumene hydroperoxide as an oxidant, its co-product is α, α-dimethylbenzyl alcohol, which can be generated by catalytic hydrogenolysis to cum...
