The application discloses a calculation method of a
reaction mechanism of
cyanamide prepared in an alkaline environment and application thereof in byproduct control, and the calculation method comprises the following steps: step 1, constructing a molecular initial model of a
reaction system containing a hydroxyl water
molecular cluster, performing structural optimization and vibration analysis tasks on the model by using a
density functional theory method, and calculating the
molecular configuration to obtain a reasonable configuration without virtual frequency; step 2, searching for a reaction
transition state based on the reasonable configuration of step 1, and verifying the reasonableness of the
transition state; step 3, calculating the free energy in an alkaline
aqueous solution environment, and drawing a
potential energy surface diagram to determine the
reaction rate control step; and step 4, selecting the reaction calculation
hydrogen dissociation energy and
hydrogen combination energy values of the
reaction rate control step containing an intramolecular
hydrogen migration process. The calculation method can simulate and calculate phenomena that are difficult to observe by experimental means, obtain reaction information of each
elementary reaction process in an actual reaction, obtain the essential law of the
reaction mechanism in the alkaline environment, and provide a theoretical reference for
process improvement to reduce byproduct generation and promote the selectivity of the main reaction.
