Abstract

Catechol is produced through the processes of oxidizing cyclohexene by hydrogen peroxide solution in the presence of formic acid, direct neutralization by adding alkali and hydrolysis to produce 1,2-cyclohexane-diol, which is extracted with ethyl acetate and steamed to eliminate solvent to result in high-purity 1,2-cyclohexane-diol, leading the gasified and overheated 1,2-cyclohexane-diol solution steam into fixed bed with Ni-diatomite catalyst for catalytic dehydrogenation. Inactivated catalyst may be regenerated through the processes of steam cleaning, air oxidation, nitrogen blowing and hydrogen reduction, and repeatedly activated catalyst has total service life over 3,000 hr. The said production process has 1,2-cyclohexane-diol conversion rate as high as 98% and catechol yield over 85%.

Description

The production method of pyrocatechol
What the present invention relates to is to be the processing method of the production pyrocatechol of raw material by tetrahydrobenzene.
Pyrocatechol is important intermediate and a raw material of making Chemicals such as oxidation inhibitor, photographic developer, tanning agent, sterilant, spices, stopper, and many in the past is raw material production with orthodichlorobenzene, ortho chloro phenol.Modern age France sieve. it is that the oxidation style of raw material is produced pyrocatechol that Planck, all emerging product of Japanese space, Tokyo commerical test develop with phenol, improves that to pass by production stage many, seriously corroded, the shortcoming that cost is high.
Through 1, it is low, easy and simple to handle, the more economical method of a kind of raw materials cost that the 2-cyclohexanediol is produced pyrocatechol by tetrahydrobenzene.Its technology is by tetrahydrobenzene system 1,2-cyclohexanediol and make two steps of pyrocatechol with the catalytic dehydrogenation method again and form.Existing synthetic 1, in the technology of 2-cyclohexanediol, J.AM.CHEM.SOC.69, the methods of 2120 propositions are: under 40-45 ℃, with 13 moles of formic acid, 1 mole of hydrogen peroxide and 1 mole of tetrahydrobenzene reaction, react to finish to subtract to depress and steam except that adding the hydrolysis of 30%NaOH vlil behind a large amount of formic acid and the water, then use ethyl acetate extraction, through steaming desolventize 1,2-cyclohexanediol, yield 73%.Shortcomings such as its organic acid consumption is big, corrosion is strong, yield is low are obvious.Clear-227946 of Ri Tekai provides method to be: tetrahydrobenzene Peracetic Acid oxidation, reinforced mol ratio is 1: 1.2, reaction is complete isolates epoxy cyclohexane with distillation method, with big water gaging and Zeo-karb 70 ℃ of following hydrolysis, the concentration of this method gained cyclohexanediol is low, and has acetate to be difficult to defectives such as recovery and more difficult industrialization.By 1, the report of the screening of catalyst of 2-cyclohexanediol vapor catalytic dehydrogenation system pyrocatechol is more, as USSR (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics) " kinetics and catalysis " second phase in 1984 489 pages of detailed descriptions this respect Preparation of catalysts and screening, think and consider that from cost, selectivity and the regeneration possibility of catalyzer the Ni/ diatomite catalyzer of ni content about about 50% is optimal.16 pages of " refining of petroleum and petroleum chemistry " (Russia) 1985 1 phases provide on Ni/ diatomite catalyzer 1, processing condition such as the catalytic dehydrogenation of 2-cyclohexanediol produces that pyrocatechol is temperature required, flow rate of carrier gas, feed liquid air speed and water vapor consumption.Above-mentioned document is pointed out all that Ni/ diatomite activity of such catalysts prolonged with the reaction times and is successively decreased, need carry out frequent regeneration in order to recover its activity, therefore the reclaiming process of Ni/ diatomite catalyzer is by 1, and the 2-cyclohexanediol is produced one of key link of the whole process of pyrocatechol.But do not see that so far about 1,2-cyclohexanediol vapor catalytic dehydrogenation is produced the report of the concrete renovation process of all catalyzer of pyrocatechol (comprising Ni/ diatomite).
The purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of by tetrahydrobenzene through 1, the 2-cyclohexanediol is produced the renovation process of easy, the economic processing method, particularly catalyzer of pyrocatechol.
Processing condition provided by the invention and method are:
(1) synthesizes 1 by tetrahydrobenzene, the 2-cyclohexanediol
Stir and in the mixed solution of tetrahydrobenzene and formic acid, to drip hydrogen peroxide down or in the mixed solution of hydrogen peroxide and formic acid, to drip tetrahydrobenzene, insulated and stirred a few hours again after dripping, not stratified only to reaction solution.This moment, temperature of reaction was controlled at 25-70 ℃, was advisable with 30-50 ℃.Formic acid purity requirement 〉=85%, content of hydrogen peroxide in the hydrogen peroxide 〉=27.5%;
Under agitation directly add alkali, to point of equivalent or slightly be alkalescence, till the insulation reaction manthanoate saponification to the reaction solution fully.This moment, temperature was controlled at 20-60 ℃;
With organic solvent (as ethyl acetate) for several times at 40-45 ℃ of following extractive reaction liquid, then steam desolventize 1, the 2-cyclohexanediol; Extract the last aqueous solution through evaporation, crystallization, organic solvent extraction sodium formiate, use in the sulfuric acid again and recovery formic acid.
Tetrahydrobenzene in the raw materials, the mol ratio of formic acid and hydrogen peroxide is: tetrahydrobenzene: formic acid: hydrogen peroxide=1.0: 0.1-10.0: 0.1-5.0, with tetrahydrobenzene: formic acid: hydrogen peroxide=1.0: 0.5-1.0: 1.1-1.7 is advisable, the alkali add-on be with the formic acid equivalence ratio be 1.0-1.2: 1.0.Alkali can be used sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, yellow soda ash, sodium bicarbonate, salt of wormwood.
