Method for preparing 1,2-cyclohexan-diol and n-amyl alcohol from light-oil of cyclohexanone by-product as raw material

Abstract

The method for preparing 1,2-resorcitol and n-amyl alcohol by using cyclohexanone by-product light oil includes: making the said light oil implement hydration reaction in the presence of inorganic acid, reaction temp. is 30-100 deg.c and reaction time is 0.5-5 hr., and converting the epoxy cyclohexane in the light oil into 1,2-resorcitol; utilizing distillation to distil the n-amyl alcohol contained in the tight oil out, and making rectification to obtain the n-amyl alcohol product whose purity is higher than 99%, then making the bottom residue undergo the conventional processes of removing oil, concentration and recrystallization to obtain solid 1,2-resorcitol product whose purity is higher than 99%.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing 1,2-cyclohexanediol and n-pentanol by using light oil, a by-product of cyclohexanone, as a raw material. Background technique [0002] Cyclohexanone by-product light oil contains a certain amount of epoxy cyclohexane, 1,2-cyclohexanediol and n-pentanol, and these substances are widely used in industry, such as epoxy cyclohexane for Producing decantide pesticide, 1,2-cyclohexanediol is used to synthesize cyclohexanediol ester products, and n-pentanol is used to produce pentanol flavor, etc. However, because the boiling points of epoxycyclohexane and n-pentanol are very close, it is difficult to separate them by conventional rectification process, resulting in light oil, a by-product of cyclohexanone, being treated as three wastes for a long time. Chinese patents CN96118386.1, CN00113505.8, CN98112735.5, and CN94113151.3 successively proposed methods for recovering the above three substances respectively, ...
