本研究开发了一种循环萃取耦合电解策略, 通过阳极氧化苯酚生成对苯醌, 经氯苯萃取后阴极还原, 实现高浓度对苯二酚的绿色合成. 在优化后的电解参数条件下, 对苯二酚总产率为68.03%, 氯苯作为萃取剂可兼顾对苯醌的高效分离和电解液的可循环使用, 阳极液循环使用5次后, 对苯醌产率保持73%左右, 阴极液循环使用4次后, 对苯二酚浓度提高了4.6倍, 由4.68 g/L提升至21.51 g/L. 该方法保证了阴、阳极液的可循环使用性, 并制得了高浓度对苯二酚, 为对苯二酚绿色合成提供了工业化可行方案.

A cyclic extraction-coupled electrolysis strategy was developed for the green synthesis of high-concentration hydroquinone (HQ). p-Benzoquinone (BQ) was first generated via anodic oxidation of phenol, subsequently extracted by chlorobenzene, and finally reduced at the cathode. Under the optimized electrolytic parameters, the total yield of hydroquinone was 68.03%. Chlorobenzene, as the extractant, could balance the efficient separation of p-benzoquinone and the recyclability of the electrolyte. After the anode liquid was recycled 5 times, the yield of p-benzoquinone remained at about 73%, and after the cathode liquid was recycled 4 times, the concentration of hydroquinone increased by 4.6 times. It increased from 4.68 g/L to 21.51 g/L. This method ensures the recyclability of both anodic and cathodic electrolytes while achieving a high hydro- quinone concentration, thereby offering an industrially feasible approach for the green synthesis of hydroquinone.
