[0002] PEEK materials possess a range of advantages, including high strength, high modulus, high temperature resistance, radiation resistance, and dimensional stability, making them widely used in aerospace, electronics, new energy vehicles, oil and gas exploration, and 3D printing. 1,4-Di(4-fluorobenzoyl)benzene, commonly known as triphenyl difluorodione, has a melting point of 220-222℃ and is the main monomer for synthesizing PEEK materials. Currently, it is primarily synthesized through a Friedel-Crafts acylation reaction of fluorobenzene with terephthaloyl chloride using a catalyst. However, a small amount of positional isomers of 1,4-di(4-fluorobenzoyl)benzene, such as 1-(2-fluorobenzoyl)-4-(4-fluorobenzoyl)benzene, is inevitably produced during the reaction. Solution crystallization is commonly used to purify 1,4-di(4-fluorobenzoyl)benzene to obtain a purity greater than 99.9%. The by-products from solution crystallization are mainly composed of a mixture of 1-(2-fluorobenzoyl)-4-(4-fluorobenzoyl)benzene and a small amount of 1,4-bis(4-fluorobenzoyl)benzene. Because 1-(2-fluorobenzoyl)-4-(4-fluorobenzoyl)benzene cannot be used as a raw material for the synthesis of PAEK materials, it is usually treated as hazardous waste, which has high treatment costs and causes resource waste.

[0003] 1,4-Biphenylylbenzene, with a melting point of 161-165℃, has wide applications in organic synthesis and is an important intermediate compound. It is often used as a starting material in the preparation of other organic compounds. It is commonly used in the synthesis of fluorescent dyes, photosensitive materials, organic optoelectronic materials, etc. How to prepare 1,4-biphenylylbenzene from the waste in the production of 1,4-bis(4-fluorobenzoyl)benzene and make full use of it to avoid resource waste is a problem that needs to be solved.

[0033] Step 1, solution crystallization: Dissolve the waste residue in a solvent, and add 1-3% activated carbon by mass of the waste residue. Keep the solution at 67-180℃ and 1 bar for 1-3 hours, then hot filter to obtain the filtrate. Remove the activated carbon and other solid impurities from the solution.

The triphenyl difluorodione positional isomer mixture includes 1-(2-fluorobenzoyl)-4-(4-fluorobenzoyl)benzene and 1,4-bis(4-fluorobenzoyl)benzene. Under strict control of the temperature and pressure of the reactor in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst, the 1-(2-fluorobenzoyl)-4-(4-fluorobenzoyl)benzene and 1,4-bis(4-fluorobenzoyl)benzene undergo a hydrogenation-dehalogenation reaction to synthesize 1,4-biphenylylbenzene, which is then further purified by solution crystallization. This invention improves the utilization rate of raw materials for 1,4-bis(4-fluorobenzoyl)benzene production, reduces hazardous waste emissions, and is environmentally friendly.

The hydrogenation catalyst is any one of palladium on carbon, Raney nickel, and platinum on carbon. The palladium loading in the palladium on carbon catalyst is 5%, the platinum loading in the platinum on carbon catalyst is 3%, and the Raney nickel has an activity level of W-4.
