    1.


    Product performance

    White needle-like crystal or crystalline powder, with a spicy taste; melting point 158~161℃, boiling point 211℃ (2.
    6664kPa), sublimation at 76℃; relative density (d 4 20 ) 1.
    443; flammable; low toxicity; in air It is stable in medium, but gradually changes color when exposed to light; slightly soluble in water, soluble in acetone, turpentine, ethanol , ether , benzene and chloroform, its aqueous solution is acidic; it produces a special purple color with aqueous ferric chloride solution
    .

    2.
    Production principle

    After phenol and caustic soda form a salt, it undergoes carboxylation reaction with carbon dioxide , and then acidifies to obtain salicylic acid
    .

    Main equipment

    Salt carboxylated gold, water separator, acid precipitation pot, sublimation kettle, condenser, cooling tower, centrifuge, refining kettle (stainless steel)
    .

    6.


    Production process

    (1) Salt formation and carboxylation
    .


    Put 100kg of phenol (98%) into the cast iron reactor and stir, add 86kg of 50% sodium hydroxide solution, and take samples after 0.


    (2) Acid precipitation
    .


    Under stirring, add about 1000 kg of 7% to 8% sulfuric acid solution to the 50% sodium salicylate solution generated above to make the pH 1-2


    (3) Sublimation
    .


    The crude salicylic acid is added to the sublimation tank, and the sublimation is carried out at 150~170℃/20×133.


    (4) Refined
    .


    Put 60kg of sublimated salicylic acid, 360L of water, and 0.
    36kg of phosphoric acid into a stainless steel refining tank in turn, stir and raise the temperature to 90°C, keep it for 1h, lower the temperature to 35°C, filter, and vacuum dry to obtain 58kg of salicylic acid
    .

    7.
    Laboratory preparation method

    Dissolve 47 g of phenol in 20.
    5 g of NaOH and 30 mL of water in a nickel evaporating dish, and heat on an asbestos net to prepare powdered sodium phenate
    .
    Add the powdered sodium phenate to a 250mL three-necked bottle, heat the oil bath to 110°C, and start to pass in the CO 2 after being washed by the sulfuric acid bottle and the silica gel column .
    The CO 2 tube should be directly connected to the surface of the sodium phenate
    .
    After ventilation for 1 hour, the temperature was gradually increased, and the temperature rose to 190°C within 4 hours
    .
    Heat at 200°C for another 2h
    .
    After the reaction product is cooled, it is dissolved by adding water, and then 1 g of activated carbon is added
    .
    Heat at 60°C for 15 min and then hot filter
    .
    Concentrated hydrochloric acid was added to the filtrate to precipitate salicylic acid
    .
    Crystallize in an ice-salt bath and filter with suction to obtain a crude product
    .
    Then recrystallize with water
    .
    The pure product has a melting point of 156°C
    .
