Description

The preparation method of copper nicotinate
Affiliated technical field:
The present invention relates to a kind of preparation method of copper nicotinate.
Background technology:
Found in feed, to add the copper (Cu) of 10 times of animal normal needs first in 1945 from Braude, can obviously improve since the production performance of animal, copper is widely used in pig industry as a kind of effective growth promoter, especially in the intensive culture process, brought into play huge effect to promoting growth of animal to improve production performance.But because present general CuSO 4, specific absorption is low, and residual plurality of heavy metal ion discharges Cu to environment in the ight soil 2+The ionic catalysis VITAMIN is decomposed, and can not directly mix in feed processing and storage process, improves feed processing and storage cost, is unsolved up to now a great problem.So high-copper when improving production performance, has also brought as the animal chronic poisoning, has improved feed cost, the wasting of resources and serious problem of environmental pollution.For increasing operation rate, reduce environmental pollution, seek efficient copper source and surrogate thereof, the copper content that reduces in the feed has caused people's common concern.
Summary of the invention:
The purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of processing method by preparation such as nicotinic acid, alkaline carbonate or alkali metal hydroxide and inorganic mantoquita copper nicotinate, promotes nuisanceless, the first-generation metal inner complex fodder additives full-scale development application of high absorption rate; Solve simultaneously in feed processing and the storage process trace element can't with the direct blended difficult problem of various VITAMIN, simplify feed, premixed feed production technique and condition of storage, reduce cost, help the development of relevant industries such as fodder industry; Improve the absorption rate of copper, reduce the discharging of copper, reduce environmental pollution, preserve the ecological environment.
Two reaction systems are arranged among the preparation technology of copper nicotinate: one is that organic solvent (as ethanol) is the reaction system of reaction medium, and another is to be reaction medium reaction system at normal temperatures and pressures with water.The reaction mechanism difference of the two, the former is to be the heterogeneous reaction of dispersion medium (copper sulfate is insoluble to ethanol) with ethanol, undertaken by reflux, long reaction time needs more than 5 hours, the product yield is (about 80%), product purity lower (92%), energy consumption height, facility investment height, complex process, the cost height:
The latter transfers nicotinic acid to water-soluble salt earlier, again with CuSO 4Reaction, nicotinic acid is pyridine-3-carboxylic acid, also claims vitamin PP, this is the process patent application content that the present invention now will declare.Entire reaction of the present invention is in the aqueous solution and carries out at normal temperatures and pressures.If do not add catalyzer, then speed of reaction is slow, needs 6~10 hours approximately, yield 91.2%, purity 93.6%.Add a spot of catalyzer such as the single nickel salt afterreaction carries out rapidly, make an appointment with reaction half an hour to finish, yield (>96%) and purity (>97%) height, and also reaction mother liquor is as the solvent of following secondary response, needn't add the catalyst sulfuric acid nickel reactant again and also can carry out rapidly, promptly catalyzer can be reused.Possible mechanism is Ni 2+With the nicotinate reaction tendency is little but speed is fast, and Cu 2+With the nicotinate reaction tendency is big but speed is slow, pass through Ni 2+Coordination causes, and then Cu 2+So in huge legendary turtle conjunction generation, is Ni 2+Played catalyzer:
Concrete processing step of the present invention is: 1) add nicotinic acid and an amount of water in reactor, under constantly stirring, slowly add an amount of solubility alkalescence material, solubility alkalescence material has a kind of soluble carbon hydrochlorate, solubility carbonic acid hydrogen salt, water-soluble alkali oxyhydroxide of being selected from least, general alkaline carbonate or supercarbonate or the oxyhydroxide of adopting, as yellow soda ash, sodium bicarbonate, salt of wormwood, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, lithium hydroxide, preferred yellow soda ash or sodium hydroxide are till nicotinic acid all is dissolved into the nicotinate aqueous solution; 2) can add little amount of catalyst again, stirring and dissolving, catalyzer is selected from the transition metal water-soluble salt, preferably sulfuric acid nickel (if do not add catalyzer, speed is slow, and yield is relative with purity low, preferably adds catalyzer); 3) with the water-soluble inorganic mantoquita, have a kind of cupric sulfate pentahydrate, cupric chloride, cupric nitrate of being selected from least, preferably sulfuric acid copper, after being dissolved in a certain amount of water, this aqueous solution is slowly joined in the above-mentioned nicotinate aqueous solution under constantly stirring, finish, adjusting pH is 4-6, preferred pH ≈ 5 promptly has blueness or blue-greenish colour precipitation to separate out.After still aging for some time, centrifugal or suction filtration gets the blue-greenish colour precipitation.Precipitation is washed more than 3 times with water all centrifugal at every turn or suction filtration.To be deposited under 105 ℃ of temperature and be drying to obtain product.
Quality of material proportioning described in the present invention is as follows:
Nicotinic acid: solid alkali metal carbonate: the inorganic mantoquita of solid, water soluble (in copper)=3.9~4.2: 0.93~1.2: 1;
Nicotinic acid: solid alkali metal oxyhydroxide: the inorganic mantoquita of solid, water soluble (in copper)=3.9~4.2: 1.26~1.77: 1.
Solid alkali metal carbonate described in the present invention or supercarbonate are meant soluble carbon hydrochlorate and supercarbonate, as yellow soda ash, sodium bicarbonate, salt of wormwood etc.; Solid alkali metal oxyhydroxide is meant as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, lithium hydroxide etc.
Catalyzer preferably sulfuric acid nickel described in the present invention, single nickel salt typically refers to NiSO 46H 2O, employed amount is 0.05-0.2% by weight percentage.
Advantage of the present invention is: is reaction medium reaction system at normal temperatures and pressures because preparation technology of the present invention is employing with water.Speed of response is fast, and is with short production cycle, and technology is simpler, reduced investment, and easy to operate without organic reagent thereby cleanliness without any pollution, cost is lower, yield height (>97%) when adding catalyzer, purity height (>96%); When not adding catalyzer, yield is not less than 90%, and purity is higher than 93%.The synthetic product is stable, and is quality controllable, bioavailability height, residual Cu in the ight soil 2+Ion seldom discharges to behind the environment, and environmental pollution is few; Just can reach the promotes growth effect of the copper in the original used higher dosage copper sulfate source of field of fodder than the copper in low dosage copper nicotinate source, reduce the wasting of resources, environment for use is polluted and is lacked simultaneously.Because copper nicotinate is more stable, the Cu of unbound state 2+Ion seldom, just be difficult for the catalysis VITAMIN and decompose, also few relatively to the destruction of VITAMIN, in feed processing and storage process, just can directly mix, improve feed processing and storage cost, the inventive method produce product---copper nicotinate is a kind of good fodder additives.
