Description

The preparation method of methylglycine diacetic acid
Technical field
The invention belongs to compounding agent fields, and in particular to a kind of preparation method of methylglycine diacetic acid.
Background technique
General slurry is not pure water, contains each metal ion species to some extent.Wherein, the water hardness is constituted Calcium, magnesium plasma and iron, manganese plasma will produce serious influence to cleaning function.As fabric turns yellow, graying, feel is hardened Deng.In order to eliminate influence caused by the washing of underwater gold category ion pair, water softener will generally be added in detergent.Therein one Kind is exactly compounding agent, and the use of compounding agent can save active matter, and avoid leaving sediment on substrate, make substrate It is bright in luster.With common compounding agent, as amino polyphosphate, multi-carboxylate or aminopolycanboxylic acid's salt (such as ethylenediamine tetra-acetic acid, EDTA it) compares, methylglycine diacetic acid (MGDA) has the advantages that nontoxic and is readily biodegradable, and can be used for producing cleaning The adhesive of agent, polishing agent and solidification matrix.
Methylglycine diacetic acid, English name Methylglycine-N, Ndiacetic acid, abbreviation MGDA.It is a kind of Non-toxic and readily biodegradable compounding agent, for producing the adhesive of detergent, production polishing agent and solidification matrix, than Common compounding agent EDTA more easily biological-degradable.
MGDA is the biology easily decomposability chelating of German BASF institute development and production, product nameQuasi- OECD When the Biodegradable test of criterion, resolution ratio within 28 days up to 98% and be identified as ' the easy decomposability of biology ', chelating Agent industry quite payes attention to Biodegradable type product.
In MGDA preparation method, from the point of view of reaction raw materials, the common synthetic method of MGDA can be divided into two major classes.One kind is Strecher is carried out with hydrogen cyanide, formaldehyde by alanine to react, then obtains product through hydrolysis;Another kind of is by iminodiacetonitrile Strecher is carried out with hydrogen cyanide, acetaldehyde to react, then obtains product through hydrolysis.From the point of view of reaction medium, it can be situated between in alkalinity It carries out, can also be carried out in acid medium in matter.Preparation MGDA is reacted by Strecher by alanine, is described for the first time In WO9429421, typical reaction formula following reaction formula, patent US5817864 report can replace hydrogen cyanide in alkalinity with Cymag It is reacted in medium, but by-product is more, and is not readily separated purification.
In order to reduce the content of harmful by-products NTA in product, BASF AG uses many methods, such as: The graded hydrolysis method that 200680015457.3 patent neutral and alkali hydrolysis temperatures are gradually increased, 201280015487.X control alanine Reacting dose, US:5849950 reacts in acid medium;But reaction is usually required using additional acid (such as in acid medium The concentrated sulfuric acid) to reduce pH, the content etc. of harmful by-products NTA in product is reduced by using complicated technical solution, these Factor limits MGDA and is extremely difficult to simply production, high yield, low by-product.
201180013685.8 report and begin through ethoxylation by amine and form amino alcohol, subsequent oxidative dehydrogenation preparation The method of MGDA, mentions that by-products content is low, and product is not required to purify in this method, but wherein the ethoxylation of amine is usually being greater than Carried out at 120 DEG C of temperature and certain pressure, the step of oxidative dehydrogenation in be also that typically at a temperature of pressurization and 140-220 DEG C It carries out, the program increases energy consumption to the more demanding of device, increases cost.
As it can be seen that there are the content of harmful by-products NTA height, complex process, high production cost, energy in above-mentioned preparation method Consume the problems such as big.
Summary of the invention
In view of this, the present invention is the invention discloses a kind of preparation method of methylglycine diacetic acid with imino-diacetic Acetic acid, acetaldehyde and hydrogen cyanide are raw material to prepare methylglycine diacetic acid, and the reaction time is short, easy to operate, reaction process pair Product is seldom, and the waste water for reacting generation is few, is suitble to large-scale continuous production.
Methylglycine diacetic acid (MGDA) molecular formula:
The preparation method of methylglycine diacetic acid, using iminodiacetic acid, acetaldehyde and hydrogen cyanide as Material synthesis methyl Glycine diacetonitrile, methylglycine diacetonitrile are hydrolyzed to obtain methylglycine diacetic acid again.
It is many in imido grpup diacetonitrile product currently on the market according to the related patents of imido grpup diacetonitrile method synthesis MGDA Impurity generates inhibiting effect, allows to effectively participate in synthetic reaction only 90~95%, yield also only has 86%, and imino group The yield that oxalic acid (IDA) synthesizes MGDA is greater than 90%, so iminodiacetic acid (salt) acid system total recovery wants high by 4~7%, cost is more It is low), and imido grpup diacetonitrile method has high concentration ammonia-containing water containing cyanogen when separating MGDN crystal, it is extremely difficult to it handles, and imido Base diethyl acid system does not generate hc effluent, more environmentally friendly.
Further, the molar ratio of the iminodiacetic acid, acetaldehyde and hydrogen cyanide is 0.95~1.05:1.00~1.05: 1.00~1.10.
As a preference, the molar ratio of the iminodiacetic acid, acetaldehyde and hydrogen cyanide is 1.00:1.00~1.05: 1.00~1.10.
As a preference, the hydrogen cyanide is liquid or gaseous state.
Further, the preparation method specifically includes the following steps:
1) acetaldehyde and hydrogen cyanide reaction are added in iminodiacetic acid (salt) aqueous acid, obtains the molten of the diacetonitrile containing methylglycine Liquid;
2) solution of the diacetonitrile containing methylglycine described in step 1) is added in sodium hydroxide solution and is reacted, must contained The solution of methylglycine diacetic acid.
Further, in step 1) hydrogen cyanide mass percent >=99%.
Further, iminodiacetic acid aqueous solution, first will with sodium hydroxide before acetaldehyde and hydrogen cyanide is added in step 1) Iminodiacetic acid solution ph is adjusted to 6~7, and temperature is controlled at 20~30 DEG C.
Before acetaldehyde and hydrogen cyanide is added, adjusting PH with sodium hydroxide is 6~7, and reacting can just go on smoothly under this condition, High income under this condition, impurity is few, and NTA is less than 0.1%.
As a preference, the sodium hydroxide for adjusting iminodiacetic acid solution ph is solid or liquid.
Further, the temperature reacted in step 1) is 60~70 DEG C.
As a preference, being warming up to 60~70 DEG C in step 1), 20~40min of insulation reaction is obtained containing methylglycine The solution of diacetonitrile.
Further, the mass percent of the sodium hydroxide solution in step 2) is 20~50%.
Further, in the sodium hydroxide solution in step 2) and step 1) molar ratio of acetaldehyde be 2.0~2.2:1.00~ 1.05。
Further, the reaction temperature in step 2) is 25~50 DEG C.
As a preference, the adding manner of the solution of the diacetonitrile containing methylglycine is to be added dropwise in step 2).
Further, the preparation method further comprise the steps of: 3) by described in step 2) containing methylglycine diacetic acid Solution is warming up to boiling reflux, and 3~5h of heat preservation drives ammonia substantially completely out of, and it is sweet to get methyl that hydrogen peroxide, active carbon decoloring is added Propylhomoserin diethyl acid solution.
The beneficial effects of the present invention are:
1. in the preparation method of MGDA of the invention, obtaining methyl by raw material of iminodiacetic acid, acetaldehyde and hydrogen cyanide Methylglycine diacetonitrile is instilled aqueous slkali hydrolysis, obtains target product MGDA, this method reaction time by glycine diacetonitrile Short, easy to operate, reaction process by-product is seldom, and the waste water for reacting generation is few, high-efficiency environment friendly, is suitble to extensive continuous raw It produces.
2. the MGDA reaction yield of the method for the present invention preparation can reach 90% or more.
