Description

Micro-interface preparation system and method for p-methylphenol
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of preparation of p-methylphenol, in particular to a system and a method for preparing a micro-interface of p-methylphenol.
Background
P-methylphenol, also known as p-cresol or p-phenol (p-cresol), can be dissolved in common organic solvents and sodium hydroxide solutions, is slightly soluble in water, can volatilize with water vapor, is toxic and has a phenolic odor; the compound is used as an important fine chemical intermediate, is mainly prepared by a natural separation method (such as separation from petroleum and coal tar) and chemical synthesis, and is widely applied to the fields of plastics, foods, dyes, pesticides, medicines and macromolecules.
P-methylphenol was extracted from natural coal tar and the waste liquid from petroleum refinery washing of petroleum fractions before 1965. The artificial synthesis method is available only after 1965. With the continuous expansion of the application range of p-methylphenol, the yield of p-methylphenol increases year by year, and the synthesis method gradually takes a leading position.
The existing synthesis methods of p-methylphenol include a toluene sulfonation alkali fusion method, a toluene chlorination hydrolysis method, a diazotization method, a methyl isopropylbenzene oxidation method and the like. The toluene sulfonation alkali fusion method is the earliest method for producing p-cresol, but uses a large amount of strong acid and strong base, and causes serious equipment corrosion and environmental pollution. The chlorination and hydrolysis method of toluene is to chlorinate toluene to obtain three chloro-toluene mixtures, and then to continuously hydrolyze at high temperature and high pressure to obtain p-cresol. The diazotization method is that methylaniline is diazotized and hydrolyzed to obtain a target product, but the method has complex process, uses a large amount of sulfuric acid, has serious pollution and is not suitable for large-scale long-term production. The methyl isopropyl benzene oxidation method utilizes oxygen or hydrogen peroxide for oxidation, and utilizes sulfuric acid for treatment after peroxide is generated, so that the peroxide is decomposed to generate p-cresol.
In view of the above, the present invention is particularly proposed.
