Description

Method for processing, producing or refining aliphatic hydrocarbon amines or derivatives thereof
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a process for processing an aliphatic hydrocarbon amine or a derivative thereof, to a process for producing or refining an aliphatic hydrocarbon amine or a derivative thereof and to a novel use of a hydroxycarboxylic acid, in particular its use for treating an aliphatic hydrocarbon amine or a derivative thereof to prevent or eliminate the pink color of said amine or derivative thereof or to prevent or eliminate the pink color of said amine or derivative thereof when derivatized.
Background
Aliphatic hydrocarbon amines (e.g. with carbon chain lengths C) 8 -C 22 Fatty tertiary amine) and derivatives thereof are important organic chemical products and intermediates, and are widely applied to petrochemical industry, medicine, agricultural chemicals, surfactant manufacturing and other industries. In the production process of fatty hydrocarbon amine derivative products (such as amine hydrochloride, quaternary ammonium salt and betaine), pink products are easy to appear. The pink color of the product results in a reduction in product quality, thereby affecting downstream product applications.
Patent US4347381 describes that the pink color problem of the product can be effectively eliminated by adding small or even trace amount of bleaching agent (such as sodium sulfite, sodium bisulfite, sodium thiosulfate, hydrogen peroxide, etc.), wherein the most preferable condition is to add small amount of hydrogen peroxide and stir at 30-60 ℃ for 5-30 minutes. However, hydrogen peroxide is a strong oxidizing agent and is easy to generate amine oxide with tertiary amine, so that the yield of the product is reduced, the quality of the product is also reduced, and the product is even rectified again to obtain a qualified product when necessary.
Patent US3922306 describes another method for effectively eliminating the colour of tertiary amines or their derivatives under acidic conditions by adding small amounts of alkali metal borohydrides. However, this method actually uses an aqueous solution of an alkali metal borohydride to treat the tertiary amine by extraction. Not only is the operation difficult, and the production equipment is difficult to match, and the waste water discharge is big, and alkali metal borohydride is dangerous chemical moreover, and the fire hazard easily takes place for improper operation or storage, and the cost is higher.
Patent US5359139 shows that tertiary amines containing acid activated color change precursors can be prevented from turning pink under acidic conditions by contact with ascorbic acid or its derivatives. It has been found that ascorbic acid prevents the tertiary amines or derivatives thereof containing acid activated color-changing potential from turning pink under acidic conditions. However, ascorbic acid is susceptible to oxidative discoloration during distillation resulting in discoloration of the tertiary amine product.
