<p>The present invention relates to a method for preparation, separation and purification of high-purity 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene. The method according to the present invention comprises
a step of subjecting a dimethylnaphthalene isomer mixture rich in 1,5-dimethylnaphthalene, high boiling point materials, unreacted 1,5-dimethyltetralin, and low boiling point materials, which are produced from a dehydrogenation reaction of 1,5-dimethyltetralin, to separation, using a distillation column;
a step of subjecting the dimethylnaphthalene mixture separated by the distillation column to liquid state isomerization in the presence of an isomerization catalyst;
a first crystallization step (melt crystallization process) of cooling the product of liquid state isomerization with a refrigerant without a solvent to form crystals; and
a second crystallization step (solution crystallization process) of mixing the product of the first crystallization step with a solvent to form crystals.</p> |
