Description

Method for preparing sodium glyoxylate by coupling reverse osmosis technology
Technical Field
The invention relates to a process flow for preparing sodium glyoxylate by electrolysis, belonging to the field of organic electrochemical synthesis.
Background
Glyoxylic acid and sodium glyoxylate thereof have important application in the fields of essences and flavors, such as the synthesis of vanillin and ethyl vanillin, and medical intermediates, such as the synthesis of allantoin. Patent US4146731 reports a process for preparing glyoxylic acid by oxidizing glyoxal with nitric acid, which has harsh reaction conditions, difficult inhibition of side reactions, poor selectivity of the target product, large amount of nitric acid, and difficult removal of much residual nitric acid in the product. Moreover, the nitric acid has serious corrosion to equipment, and NOx generated in the reaction process is a main source of acid rain, so that environmental pollution is easily caused. Patent CN106431885A reports a method for synthesizing glyoxylic acid by ozonization of maleic anhydride mixed solvent, but because ozone is used as oxidant in the reaction process, the method has large investment, high energy consumption and harsh reaction conditions, and the method for preparing C2 glyoxylic acid from C4 maleic anhydride produces by-products of formic acid and carbon dioxide, and has low atom economy, which is not in line with the development direction of green chemical industry. US3779875 describes a process for the preparation of glyoxylic acid by the electrolytic reduction of oxalic acid. As a synthetic route, the electrolytic preparation of glyoxylic acid has the advantages of mild operating conditions, cleanness, no pollution, less side reactions and good atom economy. However, the adoption of the electrolysis method to prepare the glyoxylic acid solution also has the problems of large energy consumption, poor stability of the catalytic performance of the lead electrode, difficult continuous operation and the like. Patent CN01105991.5 reports a method for preparing glyoxylic acid by electrolytic reduction using oxalic acid as raw material in an electrolytic cell with a fixed bed cathode, which maintains high current efficiency and glyoxylic acid chemical selectivity and greatly improves the production capacity of the electrolytic cell. However, the cathode solution of the glyoxylic acid is still separated and purified by adopting the conventional reduced pressure evaporation and low-temperature filtration method, and the mass concentration of the glyoxylic acid in the reaction solution needs to be ensured to be higher than 5 percent, otherwise, the energy consumption of the reduced pressure evaporation cannot be borne. However, the concentration of oxalic acid in the reaction solution in the latter half of the reaction is low, and a sufficient reactant cannot be supplied to the electrode, resulting in a decrease in current efficiency. Meanwhile, oxalic acid is also an electrolyte in the cathode reaction solution. As oxalic acid is consumed, electrolyte is reduced and the cell voltage rises in the latter half of the batch reaction. This is also a significant cause of lead electrode deactivation. Therefore, the process for preparing glyoxylic acid by electrolyzing oxalic acid still faces the challenges of high energy consumption and lead electrode inactivation.
Disclosure of Invention
Aiming at the problems of high energy consumption and lead electrode inactivation in the existing process for preparing glyoxylic acid by oxalic acid electrolysis, the invention provides a process for preparing sodium glyoxylate by oxalic acid electrolysis, which has low electrolysis energy consumption and better lead electrode stability.
The invention provides the following technical scheme according to the conception:
specifically, the invention provides a process for preparing sodium glyoxylate by electrolyzing oxalic acid, which comprises the following steps:
(1) an electrolysis process: continuously adding oxalic acid solution with mass concentration of 6-12% into the catholyte head tank, adding sulfuric acid solution into the anolyte head tank, enabling reaction liquid in the two head tanks to flow into the electrolytic bath for electrolysis, respectively pumping the anolyte head tank and the catholyte head tank back, and supplementing deionized water into the anolyte head tank;
(2) a separation process: when the content of glyoxylic acid in the catholyte head tank reaches 0.75-2.5%, pumping catholyte in the catholyte head tank into a first crystallization kettle to condense and crystallize oxalic acid contained in the catholyte head tank, and filtering;
(3) introducing the solution filtered in the step (2) into a neutralization device for neutralization, so that glyoxylic acid contained in the solution and residual oxalic acid are converted into sodium glyoxylate and sodium oxalate respectively, and heating;
(4) concentrating the solution neutralized in the step (3) by a reverse osmosis device to obtain a concentrated sodium glyoxylate solution, putting the concentrated sodium glyoxylate solution in a second crystallization kettle to crystallize and condense sodium oxalate contained in the sodium glyoxylate solution, and filtering to obtain a sodium glyoxylate solution;
(5) and (4) dissolving sodium oxalate crystals obtained by condensing the crystals in the crystallization kettle II in the step (4), and then feeding the dissolved sodium oxalate crystals into an electrodialysis device to prepare oxalic acid and a sodium hydroxide solution.
The electrolytic reduction device used by the invention consists of a cathode-anode liquid head tank and an electrolytic tank, and the storage tank is divided into a cathode liquid head tank and an anode liquid head tank, and is a continuous production device.
The electrolytic reduction device operates as follows: continuously adding 6-12% oxalic acid solution into the catholyte head tank, and pumping the solution in the catholyte head tank into the cathode chamber of the electrolytic tank at a certain flow rate by a circulating pump. The reaction condition is that the oxalic acid solution is controlled at 15-25 ℃. The current density is controlled to be 1000-2000A/m2. The reaction formula is COOHCOOH +2H++2e→COOHCHO+H2O
The reaction liquid containing the glyoxylic acid is sent back to the catholyte head tank, and the discharging amount of the reaction liquid is the same as the feeding amount by adjusting the feeding amount of the oxalic acid to be 750-2000g/h, so that the reaction residence time of about 1-2h is obtained (namely, the reaction residence time of the reaction liquid is 1-2h according to batch electrolysis for obtaining the same glyoxylic acid chemical selectivity). The concentration of the glyoxylic acid discharged from the cell is controlled to be 0.75-2.5%, the content of oxalic acid is 4-12%, the current efficiency is improved, and the cell voltage is reduced; part of glyoxylic acid is oxidized into glyoxal or glycolic acid in one step in the reaction process, the selectivity of the process is more than 84 percent, and the selectivity calculation formula is as follows.

The method for separating glyoxylic acid comprises the following steps: because the concentration of the glyoxylic acid discharged from the tank is controlled to be 0.75-2.5 percent, if the traditional low-temperature filtration and reduced-pressure evaporation separation process is adopted, the energy consumption cost is greatly increased. Therefore, the process comprises the steps of introducing the reaction liquid into a crystallization kettle, crystallizing and separating out oxalic acid solid in the reaction liquid at the temperature of-5-0 ℃ until the concentration of oxalic acid is reduced to 0.1-0.5%, and stopping crystallization to prepare 8-10% oxalic acid solution for recycling. In order to continuously process the reaction liquid, the crystallization process adopts a continuous mode of two crystallization kettles in which intermittent operation is simulated, the crystallization kettle filled with the reaction liquid is replaced by an empty kettle every 24 hours, then cooling crystallization and filtering operation are carried out, and the emptied crystallization kettle is connected back to the production line for switching.
In order to improve the rejection rate of products in the reverse osmosis process, the crystallized solution containing glyoxylic acid and oxalic acid is pumped into a neutralization device to react with NaOH to generate sodium oxalate and sodium glyoxylate, and the pH value in the neutralization reaction is adjusted to 6.5-7.5. Then enters a heat exchanger, and the temperature is raised to 40-50 ℃. Introducing the solution which is subjected to heat exchange and consists of 1.8-4% of sodium glyoxylate and 0.1-1% of sodium oxalate into a raw water tank of the reverse osmosis device.

Removing sodium oxalate in the solution at-5-0 ℃ by using a cooling crystallization filtration mode until the concentration of the sodium oxalate is reduced to 0.1% -0.5%, and dissolving the filtered sodium oxalate crystals into 8-10% sodium oxalate water solution. The sodium oxalate solution is prepared into sodium hydroxide solution and oxalic acid solution again by an electrodialysis device, the electrodialysis temperature is 40 ℃, and the current density is 1000A/m2And the solvent ratio (the mass ratio of the sodium oxalate solution to the pure water on the two sides of the electrodialysis membrane) is 1:1, 10% of oxalic acid and 10% of sodium hydroxide are prepared and respectively recycled to the neutralization device and the electrolytic cell. Dissolving sodium glyoxylate after removing sodium oxalateThe solution is evaporated in vacuum until the content of sodium glyoxylate is 40-50%.
The electrodialysis device is a three-compartment bipolar membrane structure, adopts a titanium-coated ruthenium iridium electrode, and has an operating current density of 500-2The running temperature is 20-45 ℃.
Scraper area of scraper film evaporator is 1m2The main body of the device is made of titanium. The operation vacuum degree is 0.01-1Mpa, and the operation temperature is 40-100 ℃.
