Present inventors just make has highly purified 2.6 acid of hoping, the process for purification that reaches it has carried out conscientiously research, found that to obtain the purity height, and the short-cut method of few 2.6 acid of metal ion content, and finished the present invention.That is, the purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of industrial production that is suitable for, can obtain the process for purification of highly purified 2.6 acid.
For the main idea of the present invention that solves above-mentioned problem as follows:
1. with rough 2.6 acid, in water solvent, after the alkaline matter dissolving, adjusting the pH value is 2.0~5.0, and 2.6 acid outs are gone out, as the process for purification of 2.6 acid of feature.
2. for the above-mentioned 1. method of record,, use the water of 2-100 times of weight for rough 2.6 acid.
3. for method 1. above-mentioned or that 2. put down in writing,, can from alkali metal hydroxide, ammonia and lower aliphatic amine, choose the alkaline matters that use 0.8~2.0 times of mole more than 1 to 2 kind, for rough 2.6 acid as alkaline matter.
4. for state 1., the 2. or 3. method of record, when rough 2.6 acid are dissolved with alkaline matter, for the oxidation inhibitors of 1~20 mole of % of rough 2.6 acid uses.
5. 1. above-mentioned~4. in the method for each record, can from hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, formic acid, acetic acid and propionic acid, select more than 1~2 kind with acid as pH regulator.
The present invention is made of above-mentioned steps, the elementary operation of process for purification of the present invention be with 2.6 acid in water solvent, with after the alkaline matter dissolving, the pH value is adjusted to 2.0~5.0, separate out 2.6 acid.
As rough 2.6 acid of using among the present invention, the thick resultant that for example has the Kolbe-Schmit reaction of the sylvite that utilizes 2 hydroxy naphthalene and carbon dioxide to make utilizes this method to modulate but not only be defined in.In rough 2.6 acid that utilize aforesaid method to make, sneak into raw material, isomer, decomposition product etc., for example inevitably, contain raw material 2 hydroxy naphthalene, 2 hydroxy naphthalene-3-carboxylic acid, 2 hydroxy naphthalene-3, isomer such as 6-dicarboxylic acid, metal ions such as Na, K, Fe; Be coloured to and grade.
The inventive method at first, in water solvent, is dissolved above-mentioned 2.6 rough acid with alkaline matter.
The amount of used water solvent for rough 2.6 acid, is used 2-100 times of weight, best 5~50 times of weight.During for 2 times of weight of usefulness quantity not sufficient of the water of rough 2.6 acid, rough 2.6 acid are difficult to abundant dissolving, and when surpassing 100 times of weight, utilize when regulating pH and separating out 2.6 acid, have the danger of a large amount of losses of 2.6 acid, have increased the wastewater treatment expense.Institute's water uses Purified Water (for example, ion exchanged water, distilled water etc.) better.
As alkaline matter, be to make 2.6 acid dissolved alkaline matter in water, this there is not particular determination, for example can use lower aliphatic amine such as alkali metal hydroxides such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, triethylamine, trolamine, ammoniacal liquor (and/or ammonia) etc., operating especially, letter makes, and, just reduce metal ion content and set out, preferably use ammoniacal liquor and/or ammonia.Above-mentioned in addition alkaline matter can more than 2 kinds and be used.
For rough 2.6 acid, the consumption of alkaline matter preferably can for rough 2.6 acid, generally use 0.8~2.0 times of mole, the alkaline matter of best 0.9~1.3 times of mole with rough 2.6 acid dissolved amount in solvent.For rough 2.6 acid, during 0.8 times of mole of the usefulness quantity not sufficient of alkaline matter, 2.6 acid can not be dissolved fully, when surpassing 2.0 times of moles, have increased economical load again.
Temperature for thick 2.6 acid of dissolving does not have particular determination, can carry out in the optimal temperature scope below the solvent boiling point in room temperature, but generally carry out under heating for the solubleness that improves rough 2.6 acid, 50~95 ℃, is preferably between 65-90 ℃.
When above-mentioned rough 2.6 acid are dissolved,, can add oxidation inhibitor as required for preventing 2.6 acid oxidases.As oxidation inhibitor, sodium sulfhydrate, formaldehyde sodium hydrosulfite, acid accumulator sulfite etc. are for example arranged.Though the consumption to oxidation inhibitor does not have particular determination, usually 1~20 mole of % is used in rough 2.6 acid.
Have, for preventing the oxidation of 2.6 acid, dissolving operates in to be carried out under the rare gas element (for example, nitrogen, argon gas etc.) better again.
So the alkaline aqueous solution of rough 2.6 acid that obtain can carry out the activated carbon treatment decolouring as required.
At the above-mentioned synthetic rough 2.6 acid-basicity aqueous solution, then interpolation acid, adjust pH are 2.0-5.0, by 2.6 acid that collection is separated out, obtain rough 2.6 acid.
As acid, can use various acid, for example, organic acids such as inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, formic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, methylsulfonic acid are arranged.Best, the acetic acid of the imitative family of soluble rudimentary fat carboxylic acid in the water, formic acid, propionic acid are better.Also can inorganic acids and organic acid and usefulness.
In this process, the pH value is adjusted to 2.0~5.0, between best 3.6~4.8.The pH value is lower than at 2.0 o'clock, and the danger of sneaking into isomer is arranged, and is higher than at 5.0 o'clock, and the danger that reduces rough yield is arranged.
In the alkaline aqueous solution of rough 2.6 acid, add acid, can under suitable temperature, carry out, as previously mentioned, because rough 2.6 acid are ideal in the dissolving down of heating, so interpolation acid in the solution of warm-up mode (50-95 ℃, preferably 65-90 ℃), separate out 2.6 acid, then, reduce the temperature to room temperature~0 ℃, finish crystallization and separate out.The crystallization of separating out, method adopts means such as filtration, centrifugation to separate routinely, as required, with less water washing, drying, obtains rough 2.6 acid.
Below, the order of process for purification is elaborated according to the present invention, is 2-100 times of weight for rough 2.6 acid, preferably in the water of 5-50 times of weight, add rough 2.6 acid, in room temperature or improve under the temperature (boiling point below), adding is selected from the alkaline matter more than a kind or 2 kinds in the lower aliphatic amine such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, ammonia and triethylamine etc., for rough 2.6 acid, add-on is 0.8~2.0 times of mole, and best 0.9~1.3 times of mole dissolves rough 2.6 acid.Processing is carried out more favourable under rare gas element, is preferably under the nitrogen.
During dissolving, if desired,, can use the oxidation inhibitor more than a kind or 2 kinds in the sodium sulfhydrate, formaldehyde sodium hydrosulfite, acid accumulator sulfite etc. of 1-20 mole % for rough 2.6 acid.After the dissolving, if desired, can carry out activated carbon treatment.
And then, if need, in this stage, add salt such as sodium oxide, Repone K, ammonium chloride, vitriolate of tartar, sodium sulfate, ammonium sulfate, do not have and saltout to 30 (weight) % saltout (Salting out), best saltouing of 5-15 (weight) % separated with the basic salt of 2.6 acid, and be refining, then, the salt of saltouing again after the dissolving, is utilized the acid that adds described later in water, separate out.According to this method, the purity of rough 2.6 acid is improved more.In addition, the salt that uses in saltouing preferably and the alkali kinds of 2.6 hydrochlorates for a kind of salt.
Go out 2.6 acid by adding acid out, preferably carry out under the following conditions.50-95 ℃, preferably in 65-90 ℃ the temperature range, the pH value is 2.0-5.0, preferably in the scope of 3.6-4.8.As acid, organic acids such as mineral acids such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, formic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, methylsulfonic acid are arranged.Good especially is soluble lower aliphatic carboxylic acid in the water.
After pH adjusts, finish crystallization in the temperature of room temperature to 0 ℃ usually and separate out, 2.6 acid crystals of separating out for example, utilize means such as filtration to isolate solvent, wash as required, drying.
Process for purification of the present invention not only is defined in above-mentioned explanation, also can suitably change form of implementation.For example, in dissolution process in the synthetic thick 2.6 acid-basicity solution, can after adding precipitation aid such as cellulose powder, filter, also can pay to add and remove tarry matters, be mingled with operation such as material.
The great advantage of the inventive method is the purity height of 2.6 acid of acquisition, refining can in water solvent, carrying out, thus not only help removing metal ion etc., and, just do not pollute global environment because of not with an organic solvent yet.
