Method for synthesizing cyclohexanone dimer by continuous catalytic reaction and distillation

The invention discloses a method for synthesizing cyclohexanone dimer by continuous catalytic reaction and distillation. The method comprises the following steps that: a catalytic reaction and distillation device shown in a figure is adopted, and cyclohexanone enters the a tower from the middle part of the tower; a cyclohexanone dimer and water azeotropic mixture obtained by the condensation of overhead vapor is subjected to continuous low layer resultant water separation in a water knockout vessel, and the upper layer cyclohexanone flows into the top of the tower; and tower bottom residue isheated by a reboiler, the temperature of the residue is controlled to be 250 to 280 DEG C, and 60 to 90 mass percent cyclohexanone dimer can be obtained from liquid discharged from the bottom of the tower. The method adopts continuous catalytic reaction and distillation technology and removes water in products away from a reaction field in time, thereby promoting a reaction to move toward the direction of the formation of
