Method for preparing m-chloroaniline by using meta-oil
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of preparation of m-chloroaniline, and particularly relates to a method for preparing m-chloroaniline by using meta-oil.
Background
M-chloroaniline, colorless liquid to light amber liquid, is toxic, is an important fine chemical intermediate, and is mainly used as an intermediate of azo dyes and pigments, drugs, insecticides and pesticide chemicals.
The meta-position oil mainly comprises meta-nitro, ortho-chloro nitrobenzene and para-chloro nitrobenzene, and is a general name of para-nitro and ortho-nitro products in a para-nitro production process and waste liquid rich in meta-nitrochlorobenzene and high-boiling-point organic matters.
The existing method for preparing m-chloroaniline is to prepare m-chloroaniline by nitro reduction of m-nitrochlorobenzene. The traditional nitro reduction mainly comprises an iron powder reduction method, a sodium sulfide reduction method, a catalytic hydrogenation reduction method and an electrochemical reduction method. The iron powder reduction method produces a large amount of iron mud, which seriously pollutes the environment; the sodium sulfide reduction method has the characteristics of complex reduction route, low product yield, large waste liquid amount and the like; the energy consumption of the electrochemical reduction method is too high; the catalytic hydrogenation method has the advantages of reaction route, low energy consumption, environmental friendliness and the like, but in the catalytic hydrogenation process of m-nitrochlorobenzene, the side reaction of generating aniline through hydrogenolysis and dechlorination of C-CL bonds can be increased due to the meta-position activation of nitro groups, so that the yield of a main product is reduced. At the same time, the hydrogen chloride produced by dechlorination can cause corrosion to the equipment.
In summary, the prior art has the problems that the cost of the m-nitrochlorobenzene is too high, the environment is polluted by the reduction of the iron powder serving as the auxiliary raw material, the reduction cost of the sodium sulfide is too high, dechlorination and equipment corrosion are easy to occur in hydrogenation reduction, and the like.
