Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process for the separation and purification of crude mixtures essentially comprising hydroquinone and resorcinol, optionally tars, and optionally catechol, in order to extract on the one hand rhinquinone and on the other hand resorcinol, as well as catechol when it is present and possibly purifying these various compounds. It also relates to the installations making it possible to implement this process.
- the phenol and derivatives industry generates large volumes of by-products containing, among a wide variety of tars, the para, ortho and meta derivatives of dihydroxy benzene.
- These are hydroquinone (compound para: dihydroxy-1, 4-benzene), catechol or pyrocatechin (ortho compound: dihydroxy- 1, 2-benzene) and resorcinol or resorcin (meta compound: dihydroxy-1, 3-benzene).
- hydroquinone and resorcinol are particularly difficult isomers to separate.
- FR-A-2 467 185 describes a process for the separation and purification of resorcinol and hydroquinone using distillation and recrystallization steps using a solvent such as water or an organic solvent.
- this method provides for distillation steps using steam to drive the hydroquinone in the form of hydroquinone vapor.
- This process uses a third solvent which must then be removed, which requires additional steps and devices, for example filtration and drying, and possibly reprocessing or recycling of the solvent.
- the present invention which is particularly part of the separation and
- Another object of the invention is to allow separation and purification
- hydroquinone on the one hand and resorcinol on the other hand a crude mixture comprising other compounds, in particular tars, and / or optionally catechol, and also to separate and purify any catechol present.
- Another object of the invention is to propose such a method which can be operated largely continuously.
- Yet another objective of the invention is to propose such a process and installation which makes it possible to obtain hydroquinone, resorcinol and catechol having a high purity, in particular greater than 98%, preferably 99%, or even greater or equal to 99.5%.
- Yet another objective of the invention is to propose such a process which does not require the use of a third solvent.
- a process for purifying a crude mixture comprising hydroquinone and resorcinol, optionally tars, and optionally catechol, a process in which the crude mixture is subjected to a series of distillation steps, preferably carried out continuously, comprising:
- (I) is subjected to a distillation stage (II) designed to obtain at the top of the distillation a fraction rich in resorcinol, essentially containing resorcinol and hydroquinone
- a distillation stage (II) designed to obtain at the top of the distillation a fraction rich in resorcinol, essentially containing resorcinol and hydroquinone
- the distillation bottom obtained under (ii) is subjected to a distillation step (m) designed to obtain at the top of the distillation a fraction rich in hydroquinone, containing essentially hydroquinone and resorcinol
- a step refining IV, V
- steps (I) and / or (II) with at least one prior distillation step (1) called de-taring allowing d '' eliminate tars at the bottom of the distillation. It is even preferable then to re-distill this distillation bottom in at least a second preliminary taring step (1 ′) and to recover the distillation head, capable of containing a certain amount of the desired compounds.
- the one or two (or more) distillation heads thus obtained are sent as a feed mixture in steps (I) if such a step is provided, or (II) otherwise. More preferably, these preliminary steps are carried out continuously with the distillation steps which follow.
- the mixtures to which the process applies are mainly those comprising in particular, relative to the total mixture: - from 20 to 60%, especially from 30 to 50%, by weight of hydroquinone,
- tar removal distillation steps (1, 1 ′) can be implemented with devices with falling scraped film of conventional technology or short path.
- the use of multistage columns is not excluded (see e.g. column (III)).
- the aim is simply to eliminate tar as much as possible without significant loss of the desired compounds.
- steps (1 and 1) are not provided, it is preferable to use columns (I) and (II) with anti-fouling linings in order to limit their fouling by tars.
- Such linings are perfectly known to those skilled in the art.
- Step (I) simply aims to extract the catechol and therefore to obtain at the top the catechol with as high a purity as possible.
- the aim is in particular to obtain a fraction containing at least 98%, preferably at least 99% of catechol.
- step (II) and (III) By “rich” as used above for steps (II) and (III), it is meant that the targeted compound is in majority quantity, the other compound being in minority quantity but sufficient to then allow refining.
- Those skilled in the art are quite capable of determining, by routine tests, the ranges of ratios based on the crystallization curve of a resorcinol / hydroquinone mixture, in order to determine the ratios corresponding to the range of eutectics. From these information, by playing on the column running parameters, we can place freely in conditions such that the rich fractions have a ratio registering on either side of this range, as is known per se, which will allow the subsequent implementation of refining. The operating conditions of steps (II) and (III) are therefore linked.
- step (II) leads to a mixture containing: from 75 to 95%, preferably from 85 to 92% of resorcinol, - from 5 to 25%, preferably from 8 to 15% of hydroquinone.
- step (III) make it possible, during step (III), to produce a distillation head, of a mixture comprising in particular: - from 75 to 98%, preferably from 85 to 97.5% of hydroquinone - from 2 to 25%, preferably from 2.5 to 15% of resorcinol.
- the size (especially the diameter) of the distillation columns depends on the circulating flow and the internal pressure. Their dimensioning will therefore be mainly based on the flow of mixture to be treated.
- the internal parameter that is the number of theoretical stages is determined in particular by the composition (ratios) of the incoming mixture and the purity or the composition of the mixture to be obtained at the top and bottom of the distillation. It will be noted that the columns can be lined either with trays or with ordered lining, as is perfectly known to those skilled in the art. The installation being determined, the skilled person adjusts the operating parameters of the columns.
- the distillation column (I) could advantageously, but not be limited to, a column having the following specifications: - number of theoretical stages: from 5 to 40, preferably from 10 to 30;
- the distillation column (II) may advantageously, but not be limited to, a column having the following specifications: - number of theoretical stages: from 10 to 85, preferably from 15 to 40,
- distillation column (III) could simply be a column of type (1) or even a column having the following specifications:
- - number of theoretical stages from 1 to 10, preferably from 1 to 5, - reflux rate R of between 0.5 and 5, preferably between 1 and 2.
- Refining is carried out discontinuously using devices allowing liquid / solid separation (draining, zone fusion) and sized according to the volume to be treated and their number.
- the choice of device type is also not critical. They may, for example, be conventional drainers or other refining apparatus, for example those sold under the name PROAPT (registered trademark). Drainers of the vertical cylindrical tubular heat exchanger type can for example be used.
- phase 1 corresponds to the slow crystallization of the charged mixture
- phase 2 corresponds to the cold draining of the eutectic (resorcinol and hydroquinone mixture)
- phase 3 corresponds to the hot draining recovered during the reheating phase until the desired purity is obtained
- phase 4 corresponds to the fusion-recovery of the pure product.
- the fraction rich in resorcinol is sent to one or more refining apparatus (es).
- the device Before phase 1, the device is heated above the melting point of resorcinol (1 11 ° C), ie for example between 1 15 and 120 ° C.
- the mass is cooled, eg to a temperature between 40 and 90 "C, in several hours, eg in 5 to 15 h, which induces slow crystallization of the charged mixture.
- phase 1 the remaining liquid product is withdrawn from the device (phase 2) 5 before proceeding to phase 3.
- Phase 3 consists in the slow heating of the refining apparatus, possibly started during phase 2, eg up to a temperature between 109 and 11 1 ° C, in several hours, eg in from 8 to 15 h .
- the end of phase 3, which conditions the purity of the product, can be determined either by measurement I O of the crystallization point, or by any other physico-chemical analysis technique.
- Phase 4 provides for heating of the apparatus to a temperature above 11 ° C. so as to melt the resorcinol, which is drawn off in the molten state.
- Fractions rich in hydroquinone are treated in the same way.
- the treatment follows the same phases, except for the temperatures and times of heating / cooling. For example :
- the eutectic fractions recovered during refining can be recycled as a mixture or separately with hot drainage, preferably in steps (II) and / or (III). It may be necessary to recycle them in step (I) if necessary.
- the present invention also relates to an installation allowing the implementation of the method described above, comprising:
- a possible distillation column (I) designed to obtain catechol at the top of the column
- a distillation column (II) whose inlet is connected to the bottom of the column 3 o (I) or receives the mixture gross in the absence of column (I), this column (II) being designed to obtain at the head of the column a fraction rich in resorcinol, essentially containing resorcinol and hydroquinone,
- this installation further comprises:
- taring column (1) designed to obtain a tar fraction at the head of the column and a fraction rich in tar at the bottom of the column

- FIG. 2 shows the diagram of a second installation in accordance with the preferred embodiment of the invention.
- This column (I) is fed continuously with a flow rate of 25.5 kg / h of a mixture to be treated comprising: - approximately 50% hydroquinone, or approximately 12.75 kg / h
- catechol i.e. approximately 3.8 kg / h
- a flow rate of approximately 3.8 kg / h is obtained at the head of the column, comprising: - approximately 99.5% catechol
- a flow rate of approximately 21.7 kg / h is obtained at the bottom of the column, comprising:
- a flow rate of approximately 2.56 kg / h is obtained at the head of a fraction rich in resorcinol, comprising:

- This column is fed continuously with the base of the 2nd column at a flow rate of approximately 19.14 kg / h.
- a flow rate of approximately 9.64 kg / h is obtained at the head of a fraction rich in hydroquinone, comprising:
- the column base can optionally be redistilled on a taring column.
- LB operating mode is as follows: a) For the fraction rich in hydroquinone:
- the eutectic fraction which is also called cold draining, corresponds to the non-crystallized part of the mixture at the end of cooling and is a mixture of resorcinol and hydroquinone.
- this fraction can be recovered by simple gravity flow and collected in a tank provided for this purpose. This phase lasts about 12 hours, and takes place under slow heating of the drip pan.
- the end of the recovery phase of the hot draining is determined by measuring the crystallization point of the product which flows during this heating phase.
- This fraction is recovered by simple gravity flow and collected in a tank provided for this purpose. This fraction can either be recycled to the following refining operation, or mixed with the cold draining fraction and recycled for distillation.
- a) for the fraction rich in resorcinol we proceed in the same way as under a) with the drainer (IV) with the essential difference that we take into account this time the melting temperature of resorcinol which is 1 11 ° C.
- the heating temperatures are changed accordingly. Charging temperature 120 ° C Cooling to 60 ° C in about 10 h Recovery of the cold draining fraction in about 10 h Warming from 60 to 110.5 ° C, the end of this warming being determined by measuring the crystallization point, which determines the final purity of the product. Heating to 120 ° C to recover the resorcinol: 65 kg of purity greater than or equal to 99%.
- Example 1 Compared to Example 1, two columns of tar (1 and l) are added upstream of the distillation column (I) to remove the tar present at the start.
