1-Methylnaphthalene Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

1-Methylnaphthalene mainly exists in naphthalene oil fraction (content 3.45%) and washing oil fraction (content about 5.4%). 1. After extracting thiaindene from naphthalene oil fraction, the residual oil at the bottom of the tower and the wash oil fraction are washed with acid and alkali. The neutral oil is subjected to preliminary distillation, and the crude methyl naphthalene fraction at 230-270℃ is cut out, and the cut amount is used as raw material 25-30%, not less than 60 theoretical trays, rectification in the rectification tower, using a reflux ratio of 20:1, cut the 240-250 ℃ methyl naphthalene fraction. The methyl naphthalene fraction is redistilled once again in a rectifying tower with the same tower efficiency, and the crystallizable fraction at 237-241°C and the non-crystallized fraction at 241-245°C are cut out. The crystallizable fraction is frozen to -10--20°C, and 2-methylnaphthalene is prepared by centrifugal separation or squeezing crystallization method. Combine the filtrate with the above non-crystallized fractions, wash with 95-98% concentrated sulfuric acid containing 3-5% of the raw material, neutralize with alkali, wash and remove water, and then fractionate the fraction less than 241℃ on the high-efficiency distillation tower , Use low-temperature freezing to remove crystals to obtain over 95% of technical grade 1-methylnaphthalene. After repeated sulfonation and hydrolysis, refined products with 98% purity can be obtained. 2. It contains about 0.8%-1.2% in high temperature tar. Dephenolate the wash oil fraction at 230-300°C. After depyridine alkali, rectify and cut the methylnaphthalene fraction at 240-245°C and freeze it to -20°C. When β-methylnaphthalene precipitates, the fraction that does not crystallize at -20°C is the α-methylnaphthalene fraction. After sulfonation and hydrolysis, industrial pure products can be obtained.

Uses

Raw materials for the production of high-efficiency whitening agents; determination of the octane number and cetane number of diesel fuel; raw materials for pesticide emulsifiers, plant growth stimulating hormone α-naphthalene acetic acid, surfactants, solvents, etc.
