Problems solved by technology

North University of China (CN 101570500) applied the high-gravity rotating packed bed to the sulfonation of toluene to produce better p-toluenesulfonic acid products, but because the cooling area of ​​the rotating packed bed is small and the reaction occurs at the packing rotor, However, there is no heat transfer structure at the packing rotor, which makes heat transfer lag and affects product quality. Therefore, further innovation and improvement of the rotating packing bed structure is required.

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of production of p-toluenesulfonic acid, and provides sulfonation equipment and a method for preparing p-toluenesulfonic acid by using gaseous sulfur trioxide sulfonated toluene for solving the problems of methods for preparing the p-toluenesulfonic acid by using the gaseous sulfur trioxide as a sulfonating agent for sulfonating toluene in the prior art. The sulfonation reaction is completed at a time by the efficient mass transfer characteristics of a rotary packed bed, a liquid phase product is not circulated to inhibit side reaction, and the rotary packed bed is characterized in that a heat transfer structure is arranged at a packing rotor of the rotary packed bed to quickly remove heat generated in the reaction and ensure that the reaction is carried out within a regulated temperature range, so that the side reaction is inhibited, the purity of the p-toluenesulfonic acid is improved, the yield of the p-toluenesulfonic acid is increased and the purposes of improving the production efficiency, reducing the energy consumption and reducing the environmental pollution are achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of producing p-toluenesulfonic acid, and in particular relates to a sulfonation equipment and a preparation method for preparing p-toluenesulfonic acid by sulfonating toluene with sulfur trioxide in the gas phase. Background technique [0002] P-toluenesulfonic acid (4-methylbenzenesulfonic acid) is an important organic chemical raw material and intermediate, widely used in the manufacture of surfactants, pharmaceuticals, pesticides and dye intermediates, p-cresol, resins and other substances. p-Toluenesulfonic acid is derived from toluene sulfonation. According to the different sulfonating agents used, the industrial p-toluenesulfonic acid production process can be divided into three types: sulfuric acid method, oleum method and sulfur trioxide method. When concentrated sulfuric acid or fuming sulfuric acid is used as sulfonating agent for sulfonation reaction, water will be generated during the reaction p...
