For this purpose, a fixed bed reactor as shown in fig. 2 is used, wherein the number of the beds in the reactor is 6, the first 5 layers are reaction beds, and the 6 th layer is a guard bed. The device comprises a feed heater B, a six-section hydroalkylation reactor A, a reactor feed distributor C, a reactor second-section interstage feed distributor D and a reactor third-section interstage feed distributor E; a fourth section of the reactor is provided with a feeding distributor F; the catalysts A1-A6 are packed in a gradient manner, wherein the first five sections are reaction beds, the sixth section is a protective bed, the first section of catalyst is packed at 20cm, the second section of catalyst is packed at 22cm, the third section of catalyst is packed at 24cm, the fourth section of catalyst is packed at 26cm, the fifth section of catalyst is packed at 28cm, the sixth section of protective bed is packed at 35cm, each section of reaction gradient is fed, and the feeding amount is shown in Table 4.
