The invention discloses a composite acid supported catalyst and a catalytic synthesis method of
bisphenol F. A synthesis method of the composite acid supported catalyst comprises the following steps: adding
phosphoric acid, diatomite, LiCl and
titanium dioxide to
ethanol according to a certain ratio, and refluxing and stirring above raw materials overnight (for 12-24h); and recovering
ethanol after the above reaction ends, washing the obtained material with water 3 times, and carrying out
vacuum drying for 12h to obtain the composite acid supported catalyst. The synthesis method of
bisphenol F comprises the following steps: adding
phenol and the composite acid catalyst to a reaction container, adding
xylene, stirring above materials at
room temperature, adding 37% of an aqueous
formaldehyde solution in a dropwise manner, and heating the obtained solution to 100-150DEG C, wherein the temperatures are 100DEG C, 125DEG C and 150DEG C respectively,
toluene is adopted as a
solvent, and the reaction time is 2-8h; and recovering the catalyst, the
solvent and
phenol, and re-crystallizing the above obtained product with the recovered
solvent to obtain pure
bisphenol F. The catalyst has the advantages of increase of the
bisphenol F yield, simple synthesis method, low cost, high
catalysis activity and
reusability.
