The invention discloses a method for purifying electronic-grade
biphenyl phenolic
epoxy resin, and relates to the technical field of
epoxy resin preparation, and the method is characterized by comprising the following steps: adding
biphenyl phenolic into
epichlorohydrin, stirring and dissolving, adding alkali liquor, and carrying out etherification reaction to obtain a product; alkali liquor is continuously added for a ring-closure reaction, generated salt is removed through
water washing and filtered, then
distillation treatment is carried out, and a crude product is obtained; and dissolving the
biphenyl novolac
epoxy resin, continuously adding alkali liquor for refining reaction,
pickling and filtering, and carrying out
distillation treatment to obtain the final biphenyl novolac epoxy resin. In the synthesis process, a low-boiling-point nontoxic
solvent is adopted, the actual yield of the biphenyl novolac epoxy resin is high, the epoxy equivalent is low, and the biphenyl novolac epoxy resin is easy to separate by controlling the alkali liquor amount and the
reaction temperature in the ring opening and ring closing stages, and meanwhile through a
molecular sieve, a microporous filter membrane and a further refining reaction, the yield of the biphenyl novolac epoxy resin is improved. The generation of aged resin is effectively reduced, so that the contents of hydrolyzed
chlorine, inorganic
chlorine and organic
chlorine are all at a lower level.
