Method and device for automatically washing purple uric acid
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of chemical pharmacy, and particularly relates to a method and a device for automatically washing purple uric acid.
Background
The caffeine synthesis process using cyanoacetic acid and dimethyl urea as starting materials becomes a mainstream production process of caffeine series products due to the advantages of simple process, high yield, good stability of intermediates and the like. The purple uric acid is generated by carrying out ring closure and nitrosation on dimethyl urea and cyanoacetic acid, is an important intermediate for producing caffeine series products, and the content and impurity level of the purple uric acid directly influence the subsequent hydrogenation reduction reaction, thereby influencing the yield and quality of the caffeine series products. How to reduce the impurity level in the reaction system before the hydrogenation reduction becomes an important factor in improving the yield of caffeine product quality.
At present, in order to reduce the influence of the violuric acid on a nickel catalyst in a hydrogenation reduction system, water-soluble impurities in the violuric acid are washed away mainly by adopting a clean water washing mode, but organic impurities in the violuric acid cannot be effectively removed, researches prove that part of the organic impurities in the violuric acid can be hydrolyzed under an alkaline condition, a hydrolysate and a subsequent intermediate dimethyl-FAU are condensed to form rings, and the ring is heated, dehydrogenated, aromatized and hydrolyzed under the catalysis of residual nickel in the presence of illumination and oxygen to generate a carboxylic acid compound under the presence of subsequent alkali and acid, so that the quality of a caffeine finished product is seriously influenced.
The patent (CN101812024B) discloses a purification method of dimethyl violuric acid, which specifically adopts alcohol, ether or ketone organic solvent to mix with water and adds soluble zinc salt to wash the violuric acid, and can increase the content of the violuric acid from 60% to more than 90%, but the disclosed method stays in the laboratory research stage, and organic solvents such as methanol, tert-butyl alcohol and acetone used in the disclosed method can be remained in caffeine, so that organic impurities in the finished caffeine exceed the standard, and the introduction of halogen elements such as zinc chloride and zinc bromide can also affect impurity systems, which obviously has a great risk to the caffeine with dual attributes of medicine and food. The washed purple uric acid still has 10 percent of impurities, and the residual impurities still can influence the subsequent hydrogenation reduction reaction.
