Application | used in the manufacture of modified polyimides, pesticides, dyes, etc. Industrial xylenol is rich in 3, 4-xylenol, 3, 5-xylenol, therefore, can be used as a source of 3, 4-xylenol, 3, 5-xylenol, and can be used as a raw material for disinfectants, plasticizers, pesticides and the like. 3, 4-xylenol is used in the preparation of imine resins (engineering plastics), disinfectants, pesticides, dyes and spices. 3, 5-dimethylphenol is used as a disinfectant, an insecticide, a perfume, a dye, an antioxidant, a raw material of a synthetic resin, and the like. for the preparation of modified polyimide, pesticides, dyes, etc. |
production method | the crude phenol obtained from the wash oil fraction of coal tar by sodium hydroxide saponification and sulfuric acid acidification contains phenol, cresol and xylenol. The mixed xylenol can be obtained by crude phenol separation, and 3, 5-xylenol is removed by rectification, the residue is distilled, the 225-229 ° C. Fraction is collected, cooled and crystallized, and centrifuged to obtain 3, 4-xylenol. In addition, O-Xylene is used as a raw material, and the product can also be obtained by sulfonation, alkali fusion, acid precipitation and distillation. |
