In the prior art, in order to avoid accumulation of isomers or high-boiling-point impurities in a reaction system, a part of mother liquor is extracted and subjected to alkali-adding cracking treatment, and the isopropyl phenol is a byproduct generated in the treatment process.

2. By adopting the technical scheme of the invention, the content of phenol in the mixed polyphenol extracted from the bottom of the phenol tower is low, and the total extracted amount at the bottom of the phenol tower is small. And the phenol content in the phenol tower bottom extracted in the prior art is high, and heavy components at the tower bottom are discharged in the form of solid waste such as tar, so that the phenol raw material consumption is low, the solid waste is less, and the phenol tower is more environment-friendly.
3. By adopting the technical scheme of the invention, the devices are reduced, and the operation steps are simplified. The method specifically comprises the following steps: firstly, light components obtained by treating a rearrangement solution obtained after rearrangement reaction through a concentration process need to be further rectified to reduce the content of heavy components, so that the light components are sent into a preconcentration tower of mother liquor obtained by treating an isomerization product concentration process and recrystallizing for solid-liquid separation, and are rectified at the same time, and the light components containing the isopropylphenol are extracted from the top of the tower, so that one rectifying tower can be reduced; secondly, the gas phase at the top of the pre-concentration tower is sent into an isomerization product concentration system to be condensed together, so that a condensation device of the pre-concentration tower can be reduced; finally, the original dehydration tower is utilized to simultaneously complete the dehydration process of recovering phenol and fresh supplementary phenol raw materials, so that the operation can be simplified, the equipment can be reduced, and the equipment investment can be saved.
4. By adopting the technical scheme of the invention, the technical effect of reducing energy consumption is achieved. Firstly, the gas phase of the rearrangement concentrated product enters a preconcentration tower, and the brought heat can reduce the energy consumption of a reboiler of the tower; secondly, in the process of condensing the isomerized product and the rearranged product after concentration, hot water at about 90 ℃ can be generated by utilizing the latent heat of the isomerized product and the rearranged product, and the hot water can be used for heating reaction materials entering a reactor, so that the heat is fully utilized. And thirdly, the gas phase at the top of the phenol refining tower is used as a heat source of a steam generator, hot water is converted into low-pressure steam while the phenol gas phase is condensed, the low-pressure steam is supplied to other equipment which needs the low-pressure steam as a heating medium, after heat balance, the low-pressure steam generated at the top of the phenol refining tower can meet the requirement without additionally providing the low-pressure steam, and the step can greatly reduce the energy consumption of the device.
