Description

Process method for separating and purifying cresol mixed isomer
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of chemical separation, relates to a process method for separating and purifying cresol mixed isomer compounds, and in particular relates to a method for separating and purifying cresol and m-cresol products with high purity by an adsorption-crystallization combined process.
Background
The cresol has three isomers, i.e. o-cresol, m-cresol and p-cresol respectively. Each monomer is an important fine chemical intermediate. The o-cresol is mainly used for synthetic resin, herbicide, disinfectant, preservative, plasticizer, perfume and the like. The m-cresol can be used as an analysis reagent and is also an important raw material of antioxidants, vitamin E, synthetic resin, color film developer and the like. The p-cresol is the main raw material for producing antioxidant, plasticizer, medical disinfectant, dye, perfume, curing agent, fluorescent whitening agent and other products. Along with the continuous development of downstream products of cresol monomers, the demand for high-purity cresol monomers is increasing at home and abroad.
The cresol isomers, i.e. intermediate cresol and p-cresol, are very close in boiling point and are difficult to separate and purify by conventional rectification methods, and the basic physicochemical properties are shown in the following table:
Parameter item M-cresol Para-cresol O-cresol
Melting Point/. Degree.C 10.90 34.69 30.90
Boiling point/. Degree.C 202.80 201.90 190.80
Critical temperature/°c 432 426 422
Critical pressure/MPa 4.56 4.07 4.17
The boiling point difference between the o-cresol and the m-cresol is more than 10 ℃, the o-cresol and the m-cresol can be separated by a rectification separation and purification method, and the boiling point difference between the p-cresol and the m-cresol is only 0.9 ℃, and the o-cresol and the m-cresol are difficult to separate and purify by a conventional rectification method, so the invention has great significance in producing high-purity p-cresol and m-cresol monomers by the separation and purification method. The separation methods of m-cresol and p-cresol can be divided into two major categories, namely physical methods and chemical methods. Physical methods include azeotropic distillation, dissociation extraction, high-pressure crystallization separation and molecular sieve adsorption separation; the chemical method includes chelate separation and alkylation separation. Wherein, in the presence of sodium paracresol, the paracresol can be distilled off azeotropically with water by an azeotropic distillation method, but the energy consumption is too large; the dissociation and extraction method uses a large amount of organic solvents, so as to pollute the environment; the high-pressure crystallization separation method requires 100-300 MPa of pressure, has too high equipment requirement and has too large investment; the alkylation separation method requires a large amount of alkylation catalyst and dealkylation catalyst, and has the disadvantages of complex equipment and high investment; the chelate separation method has the problems of complex process, difficult operation, high pollution, high energy consumption and the like, and the purity and recovery rate of the cresol monomer are lower. The article "separation of para-cresol from meta-cresol" (Tianjin chemical, no. 4), the same amount of para-cresol is produced, the feed amount of mixed cresol is reduced by about 30% compared with that of crystallization method, and the utilization rate of liquid phase operation equipment is very high, so that the investment of adsorption method is reduced by 15% -20% and the operation cost is reduced by 5% -10% compared with that of crystallization method.
Literature (Ind. Eng. Chem. Res.,2000,39 (4), 1035-1038) indicates that the purity of m-cresol and p-cresol can reach more than 98% under the conditions that SiCl 4 modified HZSM-5 molecular sieve is used as an adsorbent, compressed propane is used as a carrier and desorbent, and the optimal separation condition of m-cresol and p-cresol is 373K, 3.45MPa and propane flow rate is 2.0 mL/min. The method has the problems of complex preparation process of the adsorbent, high operation pressure, high cost and the like.
The literature (university of Zhejiang, journal of the university of science (Nature science edition) vol.38, no. 4) states that the modified adsorbent is found to contribute to the improvement of adsorption efficiency by preparing ZSM-5 zeolite of a hierarchical pore structure by modifying ZSM-5. The method has the advantages of complex adsorbent preparation, high cost and undefined optimal process conditions.
The adsorption separation method reported in the above patent documents requires a plurality of layers of adsorption towers to operate, not only has limited feed concentration and amount, but also has large consumption of desorbant and high production cost, and can only obtain one product of p-cresol. The process disclosed by the invention is capable of separating and purifying p-cresol and m-cresol products simultaneously by using sequential simulated moving bed adsorption with fewer adsorption bed layers and combining a crystallization separation process, has the characteristics of simplicity and high efficiency, and is suitable for industrial application.
