The invention discloses a method for preparing
dimethyl sulfoxide from
dimethyl sulfide, and relates to methods for preparing
dimethyl sulfoxide. Oxidization reaction is carried out under the pressures
ranging from -0.1 Mpa to 0.5 Mpa at the temperatures
ranging from 0 DEG C to 70 DEG C. The method has the advantages that the
dimethyl sulfide is dissolved in solvents, the chance of forming explosive mixtures by
dimethyl sulfide steam and
oxygen can be prevented in the presence of the solvents, and uniform
mixed solution can be formed; the
mixed solution is filled with high-concentration ozoneunder the condition of the presence of catalysts; the
ozone is used as an
oxidizing agent, and bubble reaction is carried out in a vertical-
pipe reactor with a large length-
diameter ratio; oxidized dimethyl
sulfide is converted into the
dimethyl sulfoxide in the procedure, the pressures and the temperatures of reaction systems are controlled, the stage for oxidizing the dimethyl
sulfide to obtainsulfoxide can be controlled by added selective catalysts, the reaction conversion rate is 95-98%, and the yield can reach 90-96%; efficient, complete, environment-friendly and high-selectivity technologies can be created for preparing the
sulfoxide from the dimethyl
sulfide by means of oxidization by the method.
