方法(特公昭35─13102)等が知られている。BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION SE is a nonionic surfactant useful as an edible dispersant, emulsifier, detergent, etc. Conventionally, its production method involves a transesterification reaction between sucrose and a fatty acid ester such as fatty acid methyl in a solvent such as N,N-dimethylformamide or dimethyl sulfoxide (hereinafter abbreviated as DMSO) in the presence of an alkali catalyst. A method such as that described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 35-13102 is known.

方法は経済的操業のための問題点となっている。The reaction mixture obtained by the above method is
In addition to SE, it contains a solvent, unreacted sucrose, and an alkali catalyst. To separate SE from this mixture,
Typically, an acid is added to the reaction mixture to neutralize and deactivate the catalyst, followed by partial distillation of the solvent, followed by extraction with an organic solvent such as hexane, butyl alcohol, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, and water. The organic solvent is removed by distillation from the organic solvent phase containing mainly SE. A method for recovering SE has been proposed. (For example, Tokuko Sho 48-21927, Tokuko Sho 48-350
49, Japanese Patent Publication No. 50-29417, Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 50-1307
12) It is important as an industrial production method and an economical operation method that the unreacted sucrose and reaction solvent recovered in the aqueous phase are used again as SE production raw materials after removing water by distillation. However, in the extraction process using an organic solvent and water, it is necessary to add a salting-out agent such as an organic acid salt in order to obtain good liquid separation (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No.
0-130712), as a result there is salt accumulation in the sucrose recovered in the aqueous phase. If water is removed by distillation and the recovered sucrose is directly used as a raw material for SE production, the rate of transesterification reaction is delayed due to the influence of accumulated salts, and this method poses problems for economical operation. .

も工業的製造方法として問題があるものとなっている。[0004] As a means to partially solve the above problems, after removing DMSO from the reaction mixture, a precipitation solvent that dissolves SE but does not dissolve sucrose is added, and unreacted sucrose is precipitated and recovered. A method has been proposed. For example, JP 63-27497 and USP 3,251,
No. 829 describes an invention in which methyl ethyl ketone is used as a precipitation solvent. Also, JP-A-2-1529
86 describes an example of methyl isobutyl ketone. However, in the above method, a total amount of salt is precipitated along with sucrose, and since there is still no means to remove the salt from the recovered sucrose, as a result, accumulation of salt in the recovered sucrose is unavoidable. From a concentrated reaction mixture with a large accumulation of salts,
Even if a ketone is mixed to recover unreacted sucrose, the sucrose remains in a paste state and does not precipitate, so this method has problems as an industrial production method. In addition, in this method, since sucrose is precipitated as a solid, solid-liquid separation steps such as centrifugation and compression are essential, and continuous operation is difficult compared to methods using only a liquid system. This point also poses a problem as an industrial manufacturing method.

Salt is further removed from this aqueous phase, and the process moves on to a step of separating and collecting unreacted sucrose DMSO solution. In the present invention, salts are removed by treating the aqueous phase with an ion exchange resin. The aqueous phase containing the salts is treated with a basic anion exchange resin to convert and adsorb the salts to the corresponding acids. Since the discharged liquid contains alkali in addition to unreacted sucrose and DMSO, it is then treated with an acidic cation exchange resin to adsorb and remove the alkali. The thus obtained effluent becomes an aqueous solution containing unreacted sucrose and DMSO, which is free of salt and alkali. If the alkali remains, it will react with the fatty acid alcohol ester to form soap and inhibit the reaction when it is reused in the next reaction system, so it is necessary to remove the alkali using a cation exchange resin. In addition, in removing salts, the processing order using anion exchange resin and cation exchange resin is as follows:
From the viewpoint of stability of sucrose, it is preferable to first perform treatment with an anion exchange resin to remove the acid.

For example, an ion exchange resin for removing salt can be used in succession with an ion exchange resin for decolorizing sucrose. Strongly basic anion exchange resins and their Cl type resins are known for decolorizing sucrose. In addition to ion exchange resins,
Diatomaceous earth, acid clay, silica gel, activated carbon, etc. are used. If there is a possibility that the decolorizing agent may cause harmful contamination in the subsequent reaction system, the decoloring treatment is preferably carried out before the ion exchange treatment for removing salts.
