2. Description of the Related Art It has been widely known that an alkali metal styrenesulfonate is produced by reacting an aqueous solution of an alkali metal hydroxide with an aqueous solution of β-haloethylbenzenesulfonic acid. For example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 53-2329
No. 2 discloses that a β-haloethylbenzenesulfonic acid aqueous solution is gradually added dropwise to an alcohol solution of an alkali metal hydroxide previously charged in a reactor at 50 to 70 ° C.
The reaction is carried out at the temperature described in JP-A-52-2303.
No. 8 discloses that a caustic soda aqueous solution is added under a nitrogen atmosphere at 95 to 95%.
A method is described in which a β-haloethylbenzenesulfonic acid aqueous solution is added dropwise while maintaining the temperature at 105 ° C. to cause reaction crystallization. Further, in Japanese Patent Publication No. 38-20570, an aqueous solution of β-haloethylbenzenesulfonic acid is added to an aqueous solution of an alkali metal hydroxide at room temperature or lower to produce an alkali metal salt of β-haloethylbenzenesulfonic acid. Thereafter, the temperature is raised to 80 to 100 [deg.] C., an aqueous alkali metal hydroxide solution is added, and the alkali metal styrenesulfonate is taken out as crystals. However, all of these production methods are of a semi-batch type, and the productivity is low, and the operation is complicated.

On the other hand, Japanese Patent Publication No. 38-20570 discloses a continuous production method in addition to the semi-batch production method. In this method, a methylene chloride solution of β-haloethylbenzenesulfonic acid, a 50% aqueous solution of caustic soda and water are continuously introduced and reacted, and a 10% aqueous solution of sodium styrenesulfonate is obtained through the two-step reaction. The aqueous solution is spray dried to give 48-54% sodium styrenesulfonate and 27-3% sodium bromide.
This is a method of continuously producing a 3% mixture. However, this method is a continuous method for producing sodium styrenesulfonate, but uses spray drying to obtain a solid product sodium styrenesulfonate. Therefore, the active ingredient content is about 50%, which is very low. In addition, powders obtained by spray drying are usually fine, amorphous and inferior in handleability. Further, the method is complicated in operation.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present inventors have studied the continuous crystallization method of a high-purity alkali metal styrenesulfonate from an industrial point of view. The problems of the prior art were estimated. That is, usually, the residence time in continuous crystallization is long, during which the alkali metal styrenesulfonate undergoes self-polymerization or side reaction, resulting in deterioration in quality and yield. Usually, the crystals are plate-like, and further crystallize further by continuous crystallization, the crystals become brittle, the particle size distribution is widened, and the filterability is reduced.
In continuous crystallization, it is difficult to control the composition of the mother liquor and the amount of precipitated crystals.

The concentration of the alkali metal styrenesulfonate in the mother liquor at the time of reaction crystallization is 1 to 2 with respect to the total amount of the mother liquor.
0% by weight, preferably 3 to 13% by weight, more preferably 5 to 12% by weight. Within this concentration range, the crystallinity of the alkali metal styrenesulfonate can be increased, the crystallization rate can be increased, and crystals having good filterability can be obtained. The reason for this is that if the concentration of the alkali metal styrenesulfonate in the mother liquor is less than 1% by weight, the crystal growth is remarkably reduced, and a product with high purity cannot be obtained. Lower, the yield decreases, and self-polymerization and side reactions of alkali metal styrenesulfonate progress,
This is because the quality also deteriorates. Therefore, in the method of the present invention, it is essential that the concentration of the alkali metal styrenesulfonate in the mother liquor at the time of reaction crystallization is 1 to 20% by weight. Within this range, in the continuous reaction crystallization, the amount of by-products and the amount of polymerization products are small, the crystal growth of the generated styrene sulfonate alkali metal salt is large, the separation with a filter cloth or the like is easy, and the filterability is high. Good salts are obtained in high purity as crystals.
