Abstract

PURPOSE:To purify and separate thioglycol acid while remarkably suppressing condensation by heat load by carrying out distillation while containing specific amount of water in a distillation tower when a mixed liquid consisting essentially of thioglycol acid and an organic solvent is subjected to distillation separation. CONSTITUTION:When thioglycol acid is separated from a mixed liquid consisting essentially of thioglycol acid and an organic solvent (e.g. isopropyl ether) having boiling point lower than thioglycol acid, >=1wt.%, preferably 10-20wt.% water content is contained together in a reboiler of distillation tower. Thioglycol acid is useful as an intermediate raw material for industrial chemical and medicine such as lotion for cold-wave or mercaptotin based resin stabilizer.

For example, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 56-152453, tetra-
A method for extracting thioglycolic acid using n-butyl urea is shown. A vacuum distillation method is employed as a method for separating thioglycolic acid from an extract obtained by extracting thioglycolic acid from an aqueous thioglycolic acid solution. The vacuum distillation method is used because (a) thioglycolic acid undergoes self-condensation and turns into a condensate when subjected to heat load, and (b) thioglycolic acid has a very high boiling point, so it can be distilled under normal pressure. In distillation, the liquid groove point in the girder boiler is high, and the loss due to conversion of thioglycolic acid to a condensate is large;
However, this vacuum distillation method has various drawbacks in industrial use. For example, ethers, such as isopropyl ether, and esters, such as acetic acid, are known to have large partition coefficients as extraction solvents for thioglycolic acid. There are organic solvents such as butyl and alcohol, such as 2-ethylhexanol, but all of these have low boiling points, so when separating thioglycolic acid from the extract obtained using these solvents, it is recommended to use vacuum distillation. However, the recovery operation of the organic solvent by cooling condensation or the like is not performed efficiently, which has the drawback of increasing the production cost of thioglycolic acid. On the other hand, in JP-A-152453, thioglycolic acid is extracted using an organic solvent with a boiling point higher than that of thioglycolic acid, and thioglycolic acid is separated from the extract by vacuum distillation. In this case, production by-products with a boiling point higher than that of thioglycolic acid, such as thiodiglycolic acid or dithioglycolic acid, remain in the organic solvent, so it is necessary to remove these when reusing the organic solvent. There is a drawback.
