Use | for the manufacture of phenolic resins, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, dyes and explosives 3, 5-xylenol is an intermediate for preparing carbamate insecticides, and can also be used in the production of rubber accelerators, anti-aging agents, drugs, fragrances, phenolic resins, etc., and also used as an additive for cold rolling oil, the service life of cold rolling oil can be prolonged. used in the production of pesticides, rubber accelerators, antioxidants, drugs, spices, phenolic resins, etc. It is also used as an additive for cold rolling oil, which can prolong the service life of cold rolling oil. |
production method | mixed xylenol distillation, collecting 218-222 ℃ fraction, cooling crystallization, centrifugal separation to obtain industrial grade 3,5-dimethyl phenol. After recrystallization with toluene, a final product with a purity of 98% can be obtained. M-xylene was sulfonated with concentrated sulfuric acid at 185 ° C., neutralized at 60-90 ° C., alkali melted at about 350 ° C., acidified with sulfuric acid, and finally distilled under reduced pressure to obtain 3, 5-xylenol with a yield of 65%. The mixed xylenol was fractionated, and the 218-222 ° C. Fraction was collected, cooled, crystallized and centrifuged to obtain industrial grade 3, 5-xylenol. After recrystallization with toluene, a final product with a purity of 98% can be obtained. The M-Xylene is sulfonated with concentrated sulfuric acid at 185 ℃, neutralized at 60~90 ℃, alkali melted at about 350 ℃, acidified by sulfuric acid, and finally distilled under reduced pressure to obtain 3, 5-dimethylphenol, the yield was 65%. |
