[0045] In this invention, the molar ratio of H2O2 to 2,3-dimethylaniline in the hydrogen peroxide is preferably (1.8~2.0):1, more preferably 1.8:1, 1.9:1 or 2.0:1.

[0046] In this invention, the process of adding hydrogen peroxide is preferably the same as that described in the above technical solution, and will not be repeated here.

[0047] In this invention, the second heat preservation process preferably refers to the second heat preservation process of the above-described technical solution, and will not be described in detail here.

[0048] After the second heat preservation, the present invention preferably includes hot filtration. The present invention does not have any special limitations on the hot filtration process, and any process known to those skilled in the art can be used.

[0049] In this invention, the hot filtration method can effectively maintain the temperature of the reaction mother liquor and reduce energy consumption.

[0050] After obtaining the first set of reaction mother liquor and filter cake, the present invention preferably refers to the above-described technical solution to perform post-processing on the filter cake by sequentially performing alkaline washing, first water washing, second water washing, and drying, which will not be elaborated here. The present invention preferably refers to the first set of processes described in the above-described technical solution to use the first set of reaction mother liquor, which will not be elaborated here.

[0051] In this invention, by alkali washing the filter cake, the process of synthesizing poly2,3-dimethylaniline, which involves washing with a large amount of water and then drying, is reduced, which significantly reduces the difficulty of the post-processing and also reduces the amount of wastewater discharged.

[0052] In this invention, when the COD content in the reaction mother liquor obtained after the application is greater than 29000 mg / L, the molar ratio of H2O2 in the hydrogen peroxide to 2,3-dimethylaniline is preferably (2.5~3.0):1, more preferably 2.5:1, 2.6:1, 2.7:1, 2.8:1, 2.9:1 or 3.0:1, where n is a positive integer. Other processes refer to the above technical solution and will not be repeated here. In this invention, when the application is performed for the 5nth time, the COD content in the reaction mother liquor obtained after the application is greater than 29000 mg / L.

[0053] In this invention, when the number of times the reaction is applied is 5n, the yield of poly(2,3-dimethylaniline) is 102-105%, and the COD content in the reaction mother liquor after application is reduced to 6000-8000 mg / L.

[0054] In this invention, when the COD content in the reaction mother liquor obtained after the overlay is less than 29000 mg / L, the molar ratio of H2O2 in the hydrogen peroxide to 2,3-dimethylaniline is preferably (1.8~2.0):1, more preferably 1.8:1, 1.9:1, or 2.0:1. In this invention, when the overlay is not the 5nth time, the COD content in the reaction mother liquor obtained after the overlay is less than 29000 mg / L.

[0055] In this invention, when the number of times the compound is applied is not the 5nth time, the yield of poly2,3-dimethylaniline is 97-99%.

[0056] In this invention, after four cycles of using the mother liquor, the COD content in the mother liquor rises to 29,000-32,000 mg / L, which is relatively high. Without further control measures, the resulting product is brown. With more cycles, the product exhibits discoloration and fragmentation during electrochemical testing, indicating that it contains low-polymerization-degree or unreacted 2,3-dimethylaniline salts. Even after washing and drying the product with a large amount of water, discoloration and fragmentation still occur during electrochemical testing, indicating that the salts are essentially impossible to remove. Therefore, this invention, while ensuring product quality, limits the number of cycles of untreated mother liquor use to four, followed by one more treatment, then four more cycles, and then one more treatment. In the 5nth cycle, increasing the amount of hydrogen peroxide prolongs the oxidative polymerization time of 2,3-dimethylaniline, allowing for effective utilization of the low-polymerization-degree 2,3-dimethylaniline in the mother liquor.

[0057] In this invention, by controlling the COD content in the reaction mother liquor, the sustainable reuse of the reaction mother liquor is ensured, greatly saving the wastewater treatment cost, and recovering the low-polymerization degree 2,3-dimethylaniline in the reaction mother liquor, creating significant economic value.

[0058] In this invention, the green preparation method can be applied an unlimited number of times.

[0059] In this invention, the green preparation method described herein uses Fe 3+ Hydrogen peroxide and nitric acid form an oxidizing system; under acidic conditions, Fe... 3+ It has an oxidizing effect and can oxidize and polymerize 2,3-dimethylaniline, while producing Fe. 2+ The generated Fe 2+ The catalytic oxidation of hydrogen peroxide to polymerize 2,3-dimethylaniline continues, converting hydrogen peroxide into water. Water is a clean energy source. After oxidation, Fe... 2+ Converted to Fe 3+ Part of Fe 3+Direct oxidative polymerization of 2,3-dimethylaniline, with some Fe 3+ By participating in the hydrogen peroxide-Fenton oxidation system, the oxidative degradation effect of hydrogen peroxide is avoided, thus improving the yield of poly(2,3-dimethylaniline). Furthermore, the above-mentioned recycling process results in no waste acid discharge. This invention develops a green production process with no waste acid discharge by recycling the reaction mother liquor, which also avoids the phenomenon of continuous increase in COD during the recycling process, leading to a decline in product quality. In addition, the recycling of the reaction mother liquor also recovers low-polymerization-degree 2,3-dimethylaniline, thereby improving the yield of poly(2,3-dimethylaniline).

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this invention, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

Sixth to ninth time using this technique: The process of the sixth to ninth application is the same as the process of the first application.

[0062] Comparative Example 1 Referring to Example 1, the difference is that the process of the first application is still followed for the fifth application, and the application is repeated 7 times. The mass, yield and COD of poly(2,3-dimethylaniline) obtained after the 7th application are shown in Table 1.

[0063] Comparative Example 2 Referring to Example 1, the difference is that the process of first to fifteenth application is not performed, and the amount of hydrogen peroxide used is 90.9g. The mass, yield and COD of the obtained poly(2,3-dimethylaniline) in the reaction mother liquor are shown in Table 1.

[0064] Table 1. Mass, yield, and COD of poly(2,3-dimethylaniline) obtained from different number of applications in Example 1, Comparative Examples 1 and 2, respectively.

[0065] As can be seen from the settings of Comparative Example 2, due to the low COD content (5000~10000 mg / L) in the initial reaction mother liquor, the excessive hydrogen peroxide caused the reaction product to be over-oxidized and degraded, resulting in a significant decrease in the yield of poly(2,3-dimethylaniline) and a coked and hardened product.

[0066] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention in any way. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
