Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to a method for decomposing peroxides generated by the oxidation of m - diisopropylbenzene into resorcinol, belonging to the field of chemical engineering. Background Art

[0002] Resorcinol, also known as 1,3 - benzenediol and m - dihydroxybenzene, commonly known as resorcin, is an important fine chemical raw material. Its chemical formula is C 6 H 6 O 2 , and it appears as a white crystalline powder. Its melting point is 109 to 112 °C, boiling point is 281 °C, flash point is 127 °C, and density is 1.276 g / cm. It turns pink when exposed to light, air or in contact with iron, and has a sweet taste. It is soluble in water, ethanol, amyl alcohol, easily soluble in ether, glycerol, slightly soluble in chloroform, carbon disulfide, and slightly soluble in benzene.

[0003] Resorcinol is mainly used in rubber adhesives, synthetic resins, dyes, preservatives, pharmaceuticals and analytical reagents, etc. Resorcinol is similar to phenol and cresol, and forms a condensate with formaldehyde, which can be used to make tire cord adhesives for viscose silk and nylon, prepare wood adhesives, and be used for the adhesion of vinyl materials to metals. Resorcinol is an intermediate for many azo dyes and fur dyes, and is also the raw material for the pharmaceutical intermediate p - aminosalicylic acid. Resorcinol has a bactericidal effect and can be used as a preservative, added to cosmetics and dermatological drug pastes and ointments, etc. The derivative of resorcinol, β - methylumbelliferone, is an intermediate for optical bleaching agents, and trinitroresorcinol is a detonator for detonators. A considerable amount of resorcinol is also used in the production of benzophenone - type ultraviolet absorbers. Summary of the Invention
