Detailed Description
To facilitate an understanding of the invention, the invention will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. Preferred embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings. This invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete.
Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. The terminology used in the description of the invention herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. As used herein, the term "and/or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
The purification method of nicotine according to an embodiment can produce nicotine with high purity, almost colorless transparency, pure smell, and purity of 99.693%. Specifically, the method comprises the following steps:
step S1: under the condition of introducing protective gas, carrying out normal pressure distillation on the nicotine to be treated at the temperature of 90-100 ℃ to remove low-boiling-point impurities;
specifically, the nicotine to be treated is obtained by extracting in alkali liquor and acid liquor by using extraction tank equipment at present, and because a large amount of organic solvent is used in the extraction process, solvent residues (such as petroleum ether and the like) cannot be avoided, the nicotine needs to be further treated; the nicotine is produced by Yuxi mangrove biotechnology limited.
Specifically, the nicotine to be treated is distilled under normal pressure at 90-100 ℃, and the distillation temperature can be 90 ℃, 95 ℃ and 100 ℃. By selecting the temperature range, nicotine can not be boiled and volatilized by heating, but low-boiling-point impurities such as organic solvents remained in nicotine are continuously heated and volatilized at 90-100 ℃, so that the impurities are distilled out, and the low-boiling-point impurities are removed.
Further, nicotine is in the atmospheric distillation process, through constantly letting in protective gas to inside formation circulation, can be constantly along with protective gas outflow with the volatile low boiling point impurity that is heated this moment.
In one embodiment, the protective gas is nitrogen or argon.
In one embodiment, under the condition of continuously introducing protective gas, the nicotine is distilled for 3-5 hours under normal pressure. Distillation reaction time is too short, the low boiling point impurity can not be heated completely and volatilize, lead to impurity to remain, distillation reaction time overlength, distillation time overlength, although there is the inert gas protection, high temperature heating time overlength, the final color and luster of product can not keep for a long time, can become yellowish in the storage process, consequently, distillation time sets up 3 ~ 5h most suitable, consequently, select this scope time, can be with the low boiling point impurity such as the organic solvent that remains in nicotine constantly heated and volatilizes, the nicotine purity that obtains is higher, and the smell is purer, colorless transparent.
In one embodiment, the reflux ratio of the atmospheric distillation is set to total reflux; further, this distillation adopts the mode of rectification to handle, has some low boiling point impurity and organic solvent to remain in the unprocessed sample, through setting for the total outflow, guarantees that impurity doubly distills out when being less than nicotine's boiling point temperature, separates with nicotine, can not get back to reation kettle once more, guarantees first step distillation process's separation effect.
Step S2: the nicotine after atmospheric distillation is distilled in two steps for vacuum distillation, wherein the vacuum distillation in the first step is distillation for 30 min-1 h at the temperature of 110-150 ℃, a small amount of nicotine is obtained by distillation, and the small amount of nicotine obtained by distillation is discarded to obtain the residual nicotine which is not distilled;
specifically, distilling for 30min to 1h at the temperature of 110 ℃ to 150 ℃, wherein no obvious oily substance is left on the tube wall; distilling to obtain a small amount of nicotine, and discarding the small amount of nicotine obtained by distillation; wherein, the temperature of the first step of vacuum distillation can be 110 ℃, 120 ℃, 130 ℃, 140 ℃ or 150 ℃. Wherein the temperature of the first step of vacuum distillation is higher than the temperature of atmospheric distillation; when the range is selected for the first distillation, the organic solvent (petroleum ether, etc.) remaining in the pipeline after the atmospheric distillation can be completely removed, and a small amount of nicotine is distilled off, and the nicotine is mixed with the remaining organic solvent impurities, and therefore, the nicotine needs to be discarded.
In one embodiment, the vacuum degree of the first step of vacuum distillation is 0.08MPa to 0.09 MPa. The vacuum degree is higher than the range, so that a large amount of nicotine is distilled off in the distillation process, and the waste and the loss of the nicotine are caused; when the degree of vacuum is less than this range, the efficiency of the distillation is reduced, the distillation time is prolonged, and the energy consumption is increased.
In one embodiment, the reflux ratio of the first vacuum distillation is set as total reflux, further, the distillation is processed in a rectification mode, and as part of low-boiling-point impurities and organic solvent residues exist in an unprocessed sample, the total reflux is set in the first step, so that the impurities are distilled out twice at the temperature lower than the boiling point of nicotine and are separated from the nicotine, and the impurities cannot return to the reaction kettle again, and the separation effect in the first distillation process is ensured.
Step S3: the second step of vacuum distillation is to distill the residual undistilled nicotine again at 120-150 ℃ to obtain nicotine;
specifically, the temperature of the second vacuum distillation may be 120 ℃, 130 ℃, 140 ℃, 145 ℃ or 150 ℃.
The temperature range is the boiling point of nicotine, so that the temperature in the range selected by the second step of vacuum distillation can be used for distilling and collecting nicotine.
In one embodiment, the vacuum degree of the second vacuum distillation is 0.09MPa to 0.1 MPa. The vacuum degree is higher than the range, so that a large amount of nicotine is distilled off in the distillation process, and the waste and the loss of the nicotine are caused; when the degree of vacuum is less than this range, the efficiency of the distillation is reduced, the distillation time is prolonged, and the energy consumption is increased.
In one embodiment, the distillation is carried out by rectification, and the reflux ratio of the second step of vacuum distillation is 1: 2-1: 4. preferably 1:3, the reflux ratio is too low, the amount of nicotine flowing out in the distillation process is too high, the distillation process is insufficient, and the product purity is lost: too high a reflux ratio leads to too long distillation time, increased energy consumption and little production significance.
Step S4: and (4) carrying out reduced pressure distillation on the nicotine subjected to vacuum distillation in the second step to finally obtain the purified nicotine.
In one embodiment, the vacuum degree of the system is controlled to be 0.09MPa to 0.1MPa when the reduced pressure distillation is carried out, and the distillation temperature is 120 ℃ to 140 ℃.
The nicotine prepared by the method.
According to the method, the nicotine to be treated is distilled at the normal pressure at the temperature of 90-100 ℃, the distillation can ensure that the nicotine does not boil and is not heated to volatilize, but low-boiling-point impurities such as organic solvents and the like remained in the nicotine are continuously heated to volatilize at the temperature of 90-100 ℃, so that the low-boiling-point impurities are distilled out, and the low-boiling-point impurities are removed. The method can avoid the problems that the existing method has overhigh temperature, leads to nicotine volatilization, and can cause the cracking of residual organic solvent and the oxidation and degradation of nicotine due to the action of high temperature and oxygen, and simultaneously carries out two-step vacuum distillation on the nicotine after atmospheric distillation, wherein the temperature of the first-step vacuum distillation is controlled to be 110-150 ℃, so that the residual organic solvent (petroleum ether and the like) after atmospheric distillation can be thoroughly removed, and then the second-step distillation is carried out, the temperature is controlled to be 120-150 ℃, and the temperature range is the boiling point of the nicotine, therefore, the temperature in the range is selected for the second-step vacuum distillation, so that the nicotine can be distilled and collected. Finally, reduced pressure distillation and collection are carried out, and the nicotine obtained by the method is almost colorless and transparent, has pure smell and high purity of 99.693%; the related operation has less manual demand and large treatment capacity, the average daily nicotine treatment amount can reach 100L, and the method is suitable for large-scale production and use.
