Quaternary ammonium hydroxide is used as a template agent for synthesizing molecular sieve microporous materials such as Beta molecular sieves, SSZ-13 molecular sieves, ZSM-5 molecular sieves and the like, and is widely used in the fields of automobile exhaust purification, VOC treatment and the like. The quaternary ammonium compounds have wide market prospects.

Quaternary ammonium salt is generally used as a raw material to prepare the quaternary ammonium base by methods such as an ion exchange method, a silver hydroxide precipitation method, an electrolysis method and the like. The production of quaternary ammonium salts is generally carried out by quaternization of tertiary amines with alkyl halides, and therefore the production of quaternary ammonium compounds is critical to the production of tertiary amines. The tertiary amine can be prepared by reacting primary alcohol with ammonia under the action of a catalyst, but the product of the method contains primary amine, secondary amine and tertiary amine, and the selectivity of the tertiary amine is low. Therefore, manufacturers are increasingly considering the production of tertiary amines by reacting primary and secondary amines. The primary alcohol and the secondary amine react under the action of a catalyst at high temperature to prepare tertiary amine, and the tertiary amine is further reacted to prepare quaternary ammonium salt or quaternary ammonium hydroxide.

In view of the above-mentioned related art, the inventors believe that the reaction time for preparing the tertiary amine by reacting the primary amine with the secondary amine is long, and the reaction temperature is high, which increases the energy consumption for producing the quaternary ammonium compound to some extent.
