The invention belongs to the technical field of
guaiacol preparation, in particular to a technique and an installation for preparing
guaiacol by continuously hydrolyzing diazonium salt of o-amino pheylmethyl
ether, which solves the problems of the prior
guaiacol production method, including low efficiency,
high energy consumption, severe
pollution and difficult
continuous production. The installation comprises a
hydrolysis reactor which consists of a rotating
packed bed and a coil, the coil is axially vertically arranged under the rotating
packed bed, a liquid outlet of the rotating
packed bed is connected with a coil inlet, and a coil outlet is sequentially connected with a stirrer, a condenser and an output
liquid storage tank. The method includes the following steps that:
hydrolysate and extractant are mixed and preheated, and are then sent into the
hydrolysis reactor along with the diazonium
salt solution of o-amino pheylmethyl
ether at the same time and heated to the
hydrolysis temperature, so that the guaiacol is produced. The invention has the following advantages that: the production of by-products can be reduced, the yield is increased to more than 90 percent, the emission of the three wastes is reduced, the production cost is reduced, moreover, the equipment size is small, the startup / shutdown time is short, and mounting, operation and maintenance are convenient.
