Description

The production technique of cresols
The present invention relates to produce the technology of cresols.
As the production technique of cresols, a kind of technology that is widely known by the people is to come the oxidation Cymene with oxygen, and the tertiary hydrogen peroxide breakdown of Cymene becomes required cresols and acetone then.
But in this technology, a kind of uncle's hydroperoxide that have the Cymene of oxidation methyl can form with above-mentioned tertiary hydrogen superoxide as a kind of by product when oxidation.These uncle's hydroperoxide can be transformed into isopropyl-phenol and formaldehyde by its decomposition.This formaldehyde can form a kind of resin with the cresols condensation that is generated, thereby makes that the productive rate of cresols reduces in this technology.
In order to address this problem, someone proposes a kind of technology, the decomposition of uncle's hydroperoxide is stopped halfway to suppress the formation of formaldehyde, thereby the productive rate of avoiding causing owing to this by product reduces, making remaining uncle's hydroperoxide hydrogenation become alkylbenzene then (for example can be referring to JP-A 52-57130, JP-B 59-8246, JP-B1-49248).
Yet, in this technology still some uncle hydroperoxide decomposition.Therefore, side reaction to a certain degree will inevitably take place, so this technology always has the loss of cresols productive rate between by product formaldehyde and primary product cresols.
In order to prevent the generation of formaldehyde, someone has proposed a kind of technology, wherein makes the reaction of the mixture of resulting uncle of oxidation and Bai hydroperoxide and a kind of alkali and a kind of organic quaternary ammonium salt so that only make uncle's hydroperoxide decomposition (referring to for example JP-A 63-35558).This technology is included in the production of cresols and does not generate the formaldehyde by product, so can avoid the reduction of the cresols productive rate that the generation owing to formaldehyde causes; But, in this technology, do not effectively utilize uncle's hydroperoxide, therefore can not think that from the angle that improves the cresols productive rate this technology is gratifying.
In this case, the present inventor has furtherd investigate the production technique of cresols.The result, they have found a kind of novel process that comprises the following step: the solution that makes the oxidation products that contains Cymene uncle and Bai hydroperoxide that obtains through oxygen or oxygen-containing gas oxidation by Cymene before decomposing with a kind of organic quaternary ammonium salt and a kind of alkali reaction, or with a kind of organic quaternary ammonium hydroxide reaction, thereby make uncle's hydroperoxide decomposition, and make the tertiary hydrogen superoxide keep not decomposing simultaneously, thereby only reduce the content of uncle's hydroperoxide; This reaction mixture is decomposed, thereby obtain cresols by the tertiary hydrogen superoxide; Make this decomposition of the mixture carry out hydrogenation.
This technology can prevent aforesaid any when commonly using in the technology common observed uncle hydroperoxide decomposition because the reduction of the cresols productive rate that generation formaldehyde causes, also can optionally reclaim with form, thereby improve the productive rate of cresols uncle's degradation production of hydroperoxide and other by product as the Cymene of raw material.
That is to say, the invention provides a kind of technology of producing cresols, comprise the following steps: (a) with oxygen or oxygen-containing gas oxidation Cymene, thereby obtain containing the uncle of Cymene and the oxidation product solution of Bai hydroperoxide; (b) make resulting oxidation product solution and a kind of organic quaternary ammonium salt and alkali reaction in the step (a), or react with a kind of organic quaternary ammonium hydroxide thing, thus the content of minimizing uncle hydroperoxide; (c) reaction mixture in the step (b) is decomposed in the presence of catalyzer; (d) make the decomposition of the mixture in the step (c) carry out hydrogenation, thereby obtain needed cresols.

Temperature of reaction is usually 30-150 ℃ scope.
In this step, the mixture after handling like this can carry out such as liquid-phase chromatographic analysis to check the degree of decomposition of hydroperoxide.
After reaction finished, reaction mixture need not to carry out special aftertreatment, perhaps if necessary, can use in step subsequently after through the aftertreatment such as filtering and neutralizing.Perhaps, in step subsequently, use after the acetone that this reaction mixture also can generate removing.
Below narration is made resulting decomposition mixture in the abovementioned steps carry out the step of hydrogenation.
This step can adopt general shortening to realize, usually by at normal pressure or add to depress in the presence of catalyzer and introduce hydrogen and realize.The pressure of hydrogen is usually in the 0-100 kg/cm 2(gauge pressure) scope.
The example of spendable catalyzer is that those are by metal, as the material of Pd, Cr, Cu, Pt, Ni, Ru, Rh or Re composition in this step.These catalyzer also can use with the form that is stated from the carrier, and carrier for example has gac, titanium dioxide, zirconium dioxide, silicon oxide-magnesium oxide, aluminum oxide, aluminum oxide-magnesium oxide or acidic ion exchange resin.Better those that form by Pd or Cu-Cr.Be more preferably Pd/C, Pd/ aluminum oxide, Pd/TiO 2, Cu-Cr/C, Cu-Cr/TiO 2With the Pd/ acidic ion exchange resin.Catalyst consumption is generally the 0.001-20% of decomposition of the mixture weight to be processed.
In this step, if necessary, can allow any other catalyzer to be present in the reactive system jointly.The catalyzer that uses in the example of such catalyzer and the decomposition step is identical.Decomposition of the mixture need not to remove catalyzer used in this decomposition step and just can use same as before.
Temperature of reaction is usually 0-250 ℃ of scope, more fortunately 20-250 ℃ of scope.
After reaction finishes, remove catalyzer, provide cresols, Cymene and acetone, if necessary, can distill then by neutralization and separate and purifying with filtration method.
The by product that is generated by the decomposition of uncle's hydroperoxide selectivity in abovementioned steps can change into the flower hydrocarbon that looses and reclaim with unreacted Cymene part then, and both all recycle as raw material in technology of the present invention.
The technology of the present invention and any traditional technology that comprise abovementioned steps are all very inequality, its difference is to avoid the reduction of the cresols productive rate that the reaction owing to cresols and by product formaldehyde causes, and the by product that the Cymene oxidation is generated can be reclaimed effectively with the form of Cymene, thereby with the resulting productivity ratio of any traditional technology, the cresols productive rate that obtains from the Cymene that is consumed all increases.
Technology of the present invention both can also can realize with continuous processing with the interruption method.
Can obtain cresols with high yield according to technology of the present invention, its method is to carry out oxidation with oxygen or oxygen-containing gas p-cymene, then with organic quaternary ammonium salt and alkali, or handle with the organic quaternary ammonium of hydroxide, thereby reduce the content of uncle's hydroperoxide, and this reaction mixture is decomposed, and hydrogenation then, thus prevented to cause side reaction that any productive rate reduces and the by product that reclaims the Cymene form effectively.Technology of the present invention has an additional advantage, and promptly the cresols that is generated can be easily and separation of by-products.
