3.Isomerization method using mesitylene as raw material, the single-pass yield rate of1,3,5-trimethylbenzene obtained by fractionation21.6%, the purity is 95% and above, and the by-product is 4% -7% of tetramethylbenzene and 9% of xylene. Average reactor bed temperature260℃, pressure 2.35MPa, emptying 1.0h-1, reforming hydrogen and oil The molar ratio is 10: 1, and the catalyst is aluminum-hydrogen-deficient mordenite: copper: nickel: binding Agent=85.2: 0.5: 15. Under these conditions, the conversion rate of mesitylene is 46%, the selectivity is 47%, and mesitylene is produced in one pass The yield is 21.6%. Japan’s Mitsubishi Gas Company uses HF-BF3 to separate and isomerize xylene, and the by-product contains high concentrations of 1,3,5 –The high boiling substance of trimethylbenzene can be obtained by distillation and refinement.

4. Acetone is dehydrated and synthesized under the catalysis of sulfuric acid to 13%-15% This product can be obtained with a yield of span>. Cool 4600g (79mol) industrial acetone to 0-5 ℃, add 4160mlConcentrated sulfuric acid, the temperature does not exceed 10℃. Add and stir for 3-4h, then leave at room temperature 18-24h. The product is steam distilled to separate 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene, and then washed with alkali and water, and collected by distillation210℃fraction, add 15g metal sodium, heated to near boiling point, evaporate 2/3 of the liquid, and distill the remainder to 210℃, efficient fractionation collection163-167℃Fraction, get 430-470g1,3,5-Trimethylbenzene.

5. Separation from coal tar and crude petroleum products And get.
