Description

(54) A process for the preparation of chelating spherical cellulose derivatives with o, o-dihydroxyazo group

The solution concerns the field of sorbents for heavy metals. The aim of the solution is to prepare a sorbent for non-ferrous and precious metals with high exchange capacity.

This object is achieved by treating spherical cellulose containing 2-methoxy-1-aminophenylsulfoethyl groups with an aqueous solution of sodium nitrite in a dilute hydrochloric acid medium, followed by coupling after washing the cellulose with water while stirring. The cellulose derivative is then added to a solution of a mixture of sodium acetate, acetic acid and cupric sulphate and, after coupling, decryption is carried out with hydrochloric acid.

The invention relates to a process for the preparation of spherical cellulose chelating derivatives containing o, o '- dihydroxyazo groups.

Compounds containing o-O-dihydroxyazo or o-hydroxy-o-alkoxyazo groups in the molecule are characterized by the formation of stable chelates with heavy metal ions. Because of this property, they are used in analytical chemistry to separate or mask heavy metals.

Their use is in most cases limited to the extraction technique of separation, as these compounds have not until recently been bound to a solid support. However, the separation of metal ions by extraction cannot be used in those cases where the metal ion in the solution is at a concentration of 0.2 ppb / 250 ml solution or even lower.

Under these conditions, the only possibility is to concentrate the metal ion from the solution with selective sorbents, as shown by the concentration factor, which is 1000 for ion exchange chromatography, while for extraction only 75.

The first mention of the binding of compounds with a .alpha.-dihydroxyazo group to a solid carrier (cellulose) is described in German Patent No. 2,629,542, whose disadvantage is, in particular, the low capacity of the prepared sorbents, which ranges from 0.3 to 1.0 mmol metal. / g cellulose.

According to the aforementioned German patent, the preparation of cellulose derivatives containing an o, o-dihydroxyazo group must be based on cellulose containing an o-aminophenol group. Cellulose containing the o-aminophenol group is prepared by heating a mixture of 10 g of cellulose, 21.2 g of 4 - [- beta-sulfatoethylsulfonyl] -2-aminophenol and 6 g of NaOH in 70 ml of dimethyl sulfoxide with 2 ml of water for 15 hours at 75 Deň: 32 ° C.

After acidification of the mixture and washing of the reaction liquid, diazotization and coupling are carried out by known methods. The preparation of this cellulose derivative is economically demanding, since the synthesis of 2-aminophenol-4- (beta-sulfatoxyethylsulfone), which is the starting material, is multistage and proceeds with low yields.

A certain lack of sorbents prepared according to the above-mentioned patent can be seen in the fact that the base matrix is not in a spherical form, resulting in an increase in the pressure drop of the sorbent column and the consequent deterioration of the liquid medium flow through the sorbent layer.

Said disadvantages of the chelating cellulose derivatives with o, o ** - dihydroxyazo group can be overcome by the process of the present invention.

The process for preparing spherical cellulose chelating derivatives according to the invention consists in diazotizing a 2-methoxy-1-aminophenylsulfoethyl group of the formula I

wherein R is hydrogen or methoxy, an aqueous solution of sodium nitrite in dilute hydrochloric acid and the subsequent coupling of the diacellulose according to the invention by adding the resulting cellulose derivative to a solution of sodium acetate, acetic acid and cupric sulphate and The 90 ° C was stirred for up to 16 hours, after which the cellulose was aspirated and washed with dilute hydrochloric acid and finally water to neutralize the filtrate.

Default modified spherical cellulose containing 2-methoxy-l-aminofenylsulfoetylové groups is prepared by alkylation of spherical cellulose 2-methoxy-l-aminophenyl / betasulfatoxyetylsulfonem / him of formula ₃ with a - _{CH2 CH2} - where X is as defined above in alkaline environment.

The diazotization of the spherical cellulose is carried out by known procedures with sodium nitrite in dilute hydrochloric acid at 0 to 20 ° C.

Separation of the cellulose is carried out by filtering off the reaction mixture and washing the cellulose with water.

Coupling agents used are those which contain a hydroxyl group in the molecule to which they are coupled to the ortho position. Preference is given to using p-cresol, resorcinol, N- (2,6-dihydroxybenzene) iminodioacetic acid, 1-naphthol-4-sulfonic acid, 2-naphthol-6-sulfonic acid, 2-naphthol-4-sulfonic acid, -naphthol-3,6-disulfonic acid, 2-naphthol-6,8-disulfonic acid, 1,8-aminonaphthol-4-sulfonic acid, 2,5-aminonaphthol-7-sulfonic acid, 2,8-aminonaphthol-6 -sulfonic acid, 1,8-aminonaphthol-3,6-disulfonic acid, 1,8-aminonaphthal-4,6-disulfonic acid, 1,8-aminonaphthal-2,4-disulfonic acid, 1,8-dihydroxynaphthalene-3 , 6-disulfonic acid. Coupling is carried out according to known methods.To convert the methoxy group, located ortho to the azo group, to the hydroxy group, by demethoxylation coupling, in a sodium ootane and acetic acid environment by known methods.

The advantage of the preparation process according to the invention is above all the achievement of higher exchange capacities of the prepared sorbents. A further advantage is the more versatile use of the starting spherical cellulose derivative containing 2-methoxy-1-aminophenylsulfoethyl groups by diazotizing and coupling with the passive components of the present invention, it is possible to prepare an ion exchange with o-methoxy-o-hydroxyazo groups which is also however, with a different order of selectivity of metal sorption compared to ion exchangers. containing o, o'-dihydroxyazo groups.

The use of hydrophilic and highly porous spherical cellulose as a carrier for o, o'-dihydroxyazo groups results in a large acceleration of metal sorption and easy accessibility of all active groups.

Spherical cellulose chelating derivatives containing o, o'-dihydroxyazo groups are used as sorbents for trapping or separating heavy metals.
