The invention relates to a preparation method of 2, 4, 6-
trichlorophenol, which comprises the following steps: taking
phenol as a
raw material, taking
tetrachloroethylene and water according to a certain ratio as a directional catalyst and an inhibitor, chlorinating to generate a crude product of 2, 4, 6-
trichlorophenol, and separating and purifying through a rectifying
tower to obtain a target product.
Tetrachloroethylene and water serve as catalysts and have a positioning function, the problem of flash points is avoided, the safety in the preparation process is high, the conversion rate of 2, 4, 6-
trichlorophenol is improved, meanwhile, generation of 2, 3, 6-trichlorophenol, 2, 4, 5-trichlorophenol and other parachlorophenols generated by side reactions is inhibited, and the total yield of 2, 4, 6-trichlorophenol is 98% or above. The purity of 2, 4, 6-trichlorophenol obtained after purification through the rectifying
tower is 99.5% or above, and 2, 3, 6 / 2, 5, 6-trichlorophenol is smaller than or equal to 0.1%, so that market requirements can be met.
