S1, chlorination stage: put 300g of toluene and a certain amount of catalyst into the reaction vessel, drop 0.15g of inhibitor, turn on the tail gas absorption device and stirring, turn on the heating device, and start to heat up. when the reaction liquid rises to 50 ℃, close the heating device, open the chlorine valve and start to pass chlorine. the reaction has obvious heat release. pay attention to cooling and maintain the reaction temperature within the range of 50 ℃, chlorine is introduced at a speed of 400mL/min-600mL/min for 3h-5h, and sampling is followed during the chlorine application process. when the content of benzyl chloride in the reaction solution is 70%-80%, chlorine application is stopped, excess chlorine gas and by-product hydrogen chloride in the system are driven away with nitrogen, and temperature is dropped.
S2, rectification stage: put the chlorinated liquid into the rectification device, add a certain amount of polymerization inhibitor to the chlorinated liquid, turn on the circulating cooling water, turn on the water circulating vacuum pump, when the system vacuum reaches-0.098Mpa, turn on the heating device, start to heat up, when the gas phase reaches the top of the tower, make the system fully reflux for a period of time, then start to collect the previous fraction, and use, when the toluene content in the sample is 0.1%-0.2%, the pre-distillation is stopped and benzyl chloride with a content of 99.4%-99.8% is collected.

production method | 1. Toluene continuous photochlorination method Add dry iron-free toluene to an iron-free reactor, and perform high-temperature chlorination under light. Then the chlorinated product is fractionated to obtain benzyl chloride, the by-product hydrogen chloride is absorbed with water to obtain hydrochloric acid, and the by-product α-dichloromethyl benzene can be hydrolyzed to produce benzaldehyde. 2. Toluene photothermal chlorination method Toluene is first allowed to stand for more than 6 hours to remove iron, then sent to a chlorination pot through a high-level tank, heated to boiling with steam, then stopped heating, passed into chlorine for chlorination, and the benzyl chloride prepared by continuous reaction enters the storage tank after cooling through the bottom overflow pipe. 3. Toluene reacts with thionyl chloride in the presence of catalyst peroxide. 4. Under the catalysis of zinc chloride, benzene ring chloromethylation. |
production method | The preparation of benzyl chloride is mainly obtained by chlorination of toluene. At present, there are mainly two methods at home and abroad: photo-chlorination method and no photo-thermal chlorination method. From the process operation, the two methods have intermittent operation and continuous operation. From the reactor structure, continuous operation can be divided into horizontal continuous operation and vertical continuous operation. Because toluene continuous photoclorination method has the advantages of easy production in small batches and faster reaction speed than photothermal chlorination method, many domestic manufacturers adopt this process. Generally, small horizontal series continuous reactor groups are used. Add dry iron-free toluene into a glass chlorination bottle, heat to 110 ℃ to slowly boil the liquid, introduce chlorine under the irradiation of fluorescent lamp according to the mass ratio of chlorine to toluene of 1: 2.5, and carry out high temperature chlorination reaction at 110~120 ℃ to the end point. Unreacted toluene is recovered by distillation, and the fraction at 160~180 ℃ is collected as crude benzyl chloride. Then often pressure fractionation, collect 176~182 ℃ fraction, that is, to obtain the finished product of benzyl chloride. The non-photothermal chlorination of toluene generally uses a large vertical continuous enamel reactor. In addition, toluene reacts with sulfur chloride in the presence of catalyst peroxide, or benzene ring chloromethylation under the catalysis of zinc chloride, etc., can produce benzyl chloride. |
