The invention relates to the technical field of
chemical production, in particular to a preparation method of 1, 2-octylene glycol, the preparation method comprises the steps of oxidation ring-opening
esterification reaction,
saponification hydrolysis reaction and post-treatment and refining, and an air flotation synergistic layering device comprises a tank body, a central shaft, a pre-filtering unit, an air flotation unit and a driving mechanism; the central shaft is vertically mounted in the tank body, and the top end and the bottom end of the central shaft both penetrate and extend to the outside of the tank body; the center shaft is rotationally connected with the top of the tank body, and a rotating seat fixedly sleeves the bottom end of the center shaft and is rotationally connected with the bottom of the tank body; the driving mechanism is arranged at the top of the tank and used for driving the center shaft to rotate. By accurately controlling the dripping rate of
hydrogen peroxide, the
reaction temperature and the effective
oxygen molar ratio, side reactions such as violent
decomposition and over-oxidation of
peroxyformic acid are inhibited, and the selectivity and safety of the reaction are improved; and rectification is carried out under the conditions of high vacuum degree and specific
tower kettle temperature, so that high-boiling-point impurities can be efficiently separated out, and a high-purity target product can be obtained.
