The invention provides a new technology for co-production of dimethyl hexylenediol and
diacetone alcohol, and belongs to the technical field of organic
fine chemical preparation. According to the technology, methylbutynol and
acetone serve as raw materials and are subjected to a reaction under the
catalytic effect of alkali in a reaction
solvent, then
hydrolysis and layering are conducted, and theproducts dimethyl hexylenediol and diacetone alcoho are obtained after an upper-layer
oil phase is washed for
dealkalization, neutralized and rectified; lower-layer alkali liquor is recycled after
catalyst regeneration, and water generated in the process is used for washing and
hydrolysis. By means of the technology, co-production of the dimethyl hexylenediol and
diacetone alcohol can be achieved, the total yield of the dimethyl hexylenediol and
diacetone alcohol on the
acetone is about 96%, the yield of the dimethyl hexylenediol on the methylbutynol is about 93%, and the
mole ratio of the dimethyl hexylenediol to the diacetone
alcohol is larger than 0.22 and is adjustable. By means of the technology, fixed investment and production cost can be effectively lowered, the added value of products, the
utilization rate and the market resilience of devices are significantly increased, and the economic benefit increment is considerable.
