Description

Process for preparing resorcinol
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of resorcinol, and particularly relates to a method for preparing resorcinol.
Background
Resorcinol is commonly called as reloccine, and the chemical name of resorcinol is 1, 3-benzenediol, which is an important organic chemical raw material. The application is very wide, and the resorcinol is used for preparing anthelmintic and anti-tuberculosis drugs in the pharmaceutical industry; in agriculture, pesticides and herbicides can be synthesized; in addition, the method can also be used for preparing dyes, flame retardants, plastic additives and the like. The resorcinol-formaldehyde adhesive is widely applied to the rubber industry, and the resorcinol is also applied to a plurality of fields of ultraviolet absorbers, dyes, medicines, pesticides and the like. The resorcinol-formaldehyde is used for dipping the tire cord fabric and bonding an automobile rubber tube and an adhesive tape, and the demand of the tire cord fabric is greatly increased along with the rapid development of the automobile industry in China, so that the increase of the demand of the resorcinol is driven. The adhesive prepared from resorcinol can also be used for bonding wood, plastics, building materials, paper products, ceramics, metals, textile materials and the like.
At present, the production process of resorcinol mainly comprises benzene sulfonation, m-phenylenediamine hydrolysis and m-diisopropylbenzene oxidation. The benzene sulfonation process produces a large amount of sodium sulfate and sodium sulfite as byproducts (4 tons of byproducts are produced in each ton of resorcinol, and 60 tons of wastewater) and the pollution is particularly serious. The catalytic hydrolysis method of m-phenylenediamine comprises the steps of firstly, reacting benzene with mixed acid to obtain m-dinitrobenzene, catalytically hydrogenating the m-dinitrobenzene to obtain m-phenylenediamine, and then catalytically hydrolyzing the m-phenylenediamine to obtain resorcinol. The reaction for preparing m-phenylenediamine by catalytic hydrogenation of m-dinitrobenzene is carried out in a nitrogen environment at high temperature and high pressure, ammonia gas is generated in the reaction, a large amount of sulfuric acid is used for neutralization, and the requirement on equipment is high due to excessive corrosion.
The m-diisopropylbenzene oxidation method is developed and developed successfully by Stanford university in the middle of the 80 th's 20 th century for the first time, and has the advantages of little process pollution, low cost, short flow, high total production yield and byproduct acetone. The method for chemically producing resorcinol for Sumitomo and Mitsui solves the environmental problem which cannot be solved by the traditional process, and is the main direction of resorcinol production development in the future.
The traditional resorcinol preparation method is characterized in that m-diisopropylbenzene is used as a raw material, an oxidation solution containing diisopropylbenzene, MHP and 1, 3-bis (2-hydroperoxy-2-propyl) benzene (namely m-DHP) is obtained through an air oxidation reaction, then m-DHP with higher purity is obtained through alkali liquor extraction and methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) back extraction, resorcinol is obtained through an acidolysis reaction in the presence of a concentrated sulfuric acid catalyst by using the m-DHP as the raw material, and simultaneously acetone is a byproduct, so that the reaction is violent, side reactions are more, and the reaction yield is low. The reaction process is as follows:
Figure BDA0002722450270000021
the synthesis method has the disadvantages of severe reaction, severe corrosion of concentrated sulfuric acid on equipment, need of using alkali to neutralize acid catalyst, generation of waste water containing salt and resorcinol, high treatment difficulty and great potential safety hazard.
US2789142A discloses a process for the preparation of resorcinol: continuously reacting a methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) solution of m-DHP with an acetone solution of concentrated sulfuric acid under reflux, wherein the reaction residence time is 6 to 8 minutes. After the reaction, the pH value is neutralized to 2.5 to 4.0 by 4 percent sodium hydroxide solution, and as can be seen from the examples, the relationship between the resorcinol reaction yield and the solvent composition and the pH value of the post-treatment is very large, the MIBK and acetone mixed solvent is adopted, the reaction yield is 82.1 to 91.7 percent, the methyl ethyl ketone and acetone mixed solvent is adopted, the reaction yield is 65.6 to 79.8 percent, and when the reaction solvent is acetone, the resorcinol yield is 64 to 83 percent, so that the reaction and the post-treatment are difficult to control by adopting concentrated sulfuric acid as a catalyst, and the resorcinol yield is not high.
GB819450A discloses that although resorcinol can be obtained in high yield by using an acetone solution of sulfur trioxide as a DHP acidolysis catalyst, the problems of acid neutralization and equipment corrosion also exist when sulfur trioxide gas is introduced into acetone.
US4847436A employs BF3The ether complex as catalyst for DHP acidolysis to prepare resorcinol, the comparative example of this patent application uses concentrated sulfuric acid twice as much as the acidolysis catalyst, the yield of resorcinol is only 61.1%, although the yield of resorcinol is higher in this patent application method, but BF exists3Has strong toxicity, is easy to hydrolyze and smoke in the air, is inconvenient to store and use, has high requirements on the water content of a solvent and a reaction system (the water content of the reaction system is required to be less than 0.1 percent), and determines the problems of high toxicity, smoke generation, high toxicity, high water content of the reaction system and the likeThe catalyst can only prepare resorcinol in a laboratory, and is not suitable for industrial production.
US4339613A describes the synthesis of resorcinol using a superacid, perfluoroalkyl (containing one to eighteen carbon atoms) sulfonic acid, as a catalyst for the acid hydrolysis of m-DHP, which is also a laboratory preparation of resorcinol.
The prior art has the following defects: 1. concentrated sulfuric acid (or sulfur trioxide) is used as a catalyst for the reaction, the reaction is too violent, so that the potential safety hazard is large, and the concentrated sulfuric acid (or sulfur trioxide) has strong corrosivity on equipment and is not suitable for large-scale production; 2. after the reaction is finished, alkali is used for neutralizing sulfuric acid (or sulfur trioxide) to generate salt-containing and resorcinol-containing wastewater, which is unfavorable for environmental protection and not suitable for industrial production; 3. the concentrated sulfuric acid (or sulfur trioxide) catalyst can catalyze the resorcinol product to further react with acetone to generate a resinous by-product, and the reaction conversion rate and the yield are not high, so that the method is not beneficial to industrialization.
