The invention discloses a purification method of 1, 2, 3, 4-tetramethyl-1, 3-
cyclopentadiene, which comprises the following steps: step 1, putting a 1, 2, 3, 4-tetramethyl-1, 3-
cyclopentadiene crude product into a container integrating dissolving, crystallizing and filtering functions, cooling to a
crystallization temperature, and preserving heat for a certain time to perform heat preservation
crystallization; 2, introducing
nitrogen in a filter pressing temperature range into the container after the heat-preservation
crystallization is finished until the uncured liquid is dried by filter pressing; 3, after filter pressing is conducted till the mixture is dried,
nitrogen introduction is stopped, the
reaction temperature in the container is increased to the
melting temperature, feed liquid in the container is heated and melted, heat preservation is conducted till the feed liquid is completely melted, and a 1, 2, 3, 4-tetramethyl-1, 3-
cyclopentadiene refined product is obtained.The method is high in purification yield, the obtained 1, 2, 3, 4-tetramethyl-1, 3-cyclopentadiene is high in purity, and the method is suitable for industrial large-scale production.
