The conventional crystallization process of D-pantolactone is similar to the conventional crystallization process, and can be basically divided into three processes of nucleation, crystal growth and crystal growth. The crystallization process flow adopted at present is that mother liquor from the tower bottom of an upstream rectifying tower enters a first-stage crystallization kettle, the temperature is reduced and kept for 24 hours, and crude D-pantolactone is discharged. Transferring the residual crystal slurry into a secondary crystallization kettle; recrystallizing in a secondary crystallization kettle, cooling to-10deg.C by ethylene glycol, maintaining for 24 hr, washing the product in water and active carbon for one time, and centrifuging to obtain refined D-pantolactone; and then washing the mixture for the second time in water and active carbon, and centrifuging the mixture to obtain the di-refined D-pantolactone.

Comparative example 5
The difference from example 1 was only that D-pantolactone seed crystals of less than 0.45mm obtained by recrystallization were added, and the other preparation methods were the same as in example 1.
The products obtained in this comparative example were tested by the same test method as in example 1, and it was found that the average particle diameter of the obtained products was in the range of 0.50 to 0.70mm, the optical rotation of the products was-2.4778, the maximum single impurity of the products was 0.04%, and the total impurities were 0.10%.
In the preparation method, the whole process takes 13.5 hours, and the problem of burst nucleation occurs in the preparation process.
As is clear from a comparison of comparative example 5 and example 1, when D-pantolactone seed crystals of less than 0.45mm obtained by recrystallization are added, a large amount of small particle size nuclei are generated by burst nucleation of mother liquor, and finally small products with particle sizes of 0.50-0.70mm are obtained, and impurities are easily occluded in the crystals to cause maximum single impurity of 0.04% and total impurity of 0.10%.
Comparative example 6
The difference from example 2 is only that the crystalline product is rinsed with pure water by adding activated carbon, and the rest of the preparation method is the same as example 2.
The washing yields of the D-pantolactone products in example 2 and comparative example 6 are shown in the following Table for the maximum single impurity.
Actual yield = (mass of crystals obtained in practice/g)/(mass of crystals in solution/g) ×100%
Washing yield = (product mass after washing/g)/(wet product mass/g) ×100%
As is clear from the comparison between example 2 and comparative example 6, the saturated aqueous solution is used for soaking and washing the D-pantolactone crystals, compared with the pure water washing, the consumption of the washing solvent is reduced by 30%, the solubility of the D-pantolactone in water is very high, the product with large particle size can be dissolved into small particle size by using the water washing, the particle size is reduced by thirty percent, the crystals are not dissolved in the washing solvent, and the occurrence of recrystallization phenomenon is avoided. In addition, the residual active carbon in the product becomes new impurities, and the total impurities are increased. The actual yield is improved to 58.53% after the saturated solution is adopted for soaking and washing, the washing yield is improved to 90%, no pantoic acid impurity exists, the maximum single impurity is 0.03%, the total impurity is 0.09%, and the content of L-inverse acid lactone is 0.36%.
The applicant declares that the above is only a specific embodiment of the present application, but the scope of the present application is not limited thereto, and it should be apparent to those skilled in the art that any changes or substitutions that are easily conceivable within the technical scope of the present application disclosed by the present application fall within the scope of the present application and the disclosure.
