The invention relates to a method for producing isopropylbenzene. The problem that the content of n-
propylbenzene is high in the prior art is solved. The method comprises the following steps that: a) a
material flow which contains multi-substituted isopropylbenzene enters a multi-substituted isopropylbenzene
tower, after
distillation separation, a
material flow 13 is obtained from the top of the
tower, a
material flow 12 is obtained from the middle part of the
tower, and a heavy component material flow which contains
tar is obtained from a tower kettle, wherein in the material flow 13, the content of diisopropylbenzene is at least more than 95 weight percent, and in the material flow 12, the content of triisopropylbenzene is at least more than 0.5 percent; b) a first
benzene material flow and the material flow 13 enter a first
alkyl transfer reactor from the top to be contacted with a catalyst to perform an
alkyl transference reaction, and a material flow 9 which contains the isopropylbenzene is obtained at the bottom; c) a second
benzene material flow and the material flow 12 enter a second
alkyl transference reactor from the top to be contacted with a catalyst to perform an alkyl transference reaction, and a material flow 10 which contains the isopropylbenzene is obtained at the bottom; and d) the material flow 9 and the material flow 10 enter a subsequent refining process to produce the product, namely the isopropylbenzene. The problem is better solved through the technical scheme and the method can be applied to the industrial production of the isopropylbenzene.
