Abstract: Both main and side reaction kinetics of non-catalytic peroxidation of liquid phase isopropyl benzene (IPB) were investigated, including byproduct formation such as α-methyl benzyl alchohol (MBA) and acetophenone (ACP), and decomposition pathway of ROOR (DCP). Based on free radical chain reaction mechanism, a kinetic model was developed, in which IPB hydroperoxide (IPBHP), MBA, ACP and DCP were considered. The prediction by this kinetic model is agreed well with the experimental data, if the rate constants were used which were obtained by fitting of the experimental data at 373—404 K. The activation energies estimated were larger for all side reactions than for the main reaction. DCP decomposition requires the presence of oxygen. These data obtained could be helpful for deep understand of the reaction mechanism of liquid phase of alkyl aromatics and could be used as the fundamental data for design and optimization of industrial liquid phase oxidation of IPB.

摘要： 研究了非催化条件下异丙苯(IPB)液相氧化主副反应动力学,包括主要副产物α-甲基苄醇(MBA)和苯乙酮(ACP)生成规律以及重要链终止产物ROOR (DCP)的分解反应路径。基于烃类链式自由基反应机理,建立了包含反应物IPB、主产物过氧化氢异丙苯(IPBHP)、副产物MBA、ACP以及链终止产物DCP的反应动力学模型。动力学模型预测结果与实验数据吻合良好。通过对373～404 K下实验数据的拟合,得到了不同温度下各基元反应速率常数和活化能。模拟计算表明,两个副反应活化能均大于主反应;链终止产物DCP的分解反应通过氧气的参与进行。研究结果可为异丙苯液相氧化工业反应过程的设计和优化提供基础参数,并且有利于深化对烷基芳烃液相氧化反应机理的认识。
