Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain the titled compound in high yield, by reacting m-xylene with sulfuric acid, by prescribing the sulfuric acid concentration in a mother liquor in a specific range, crystallizing m-xylene-4-sulfonic acid. CONSTITUTION:In reacting m-xylene with sulfuric acid to prepare m-xylene-4- sulfonic acid, crystallizing it from a solution of a reaction product, the crystallization is carried out in a condition of 50-70wt% (the rest is water) sulfuric acid concentration in the mother liquor. The solubility of m-xylene-4-sulfonic acid in an aqueous solution of sulfuric acid varies greatly with the concentration of sulfuric acid, shows the minimum value particularly in approximately 60wt% sulfuric acid concentration, and the difference in the solubility is small in a range of 50-70wt%. m-Xylene-4-sulfonic acid is crystallized as a dihydrate, so that the sulfuric acid concentration of the solution of the reaction product rises in proportion to the amount of crystallization. Since the solubility rises abruptly in >=80wt% sulfuric acid concentation, the solution is maintaind in the range. The reaction of m-xylene and sulfuric acid is carried out at 70-80 deg.C, and the crystallization temperature is preferably 20-40 deg.C.

Sulfuric acid has been widely used. However, since the sulfonation reaction is carried out using sulfuric acid, there is a limit value for the concentration of sulfuric acid in each moss, and below this limit concentration, the reaction hardly progresses.

Mosulfuric acid concentration 68 in m-xylene sulfonation reaction
There is a limit value around the weight percent (the rest is water, the same applies below). In the sulfonation reaction of m-xylene with 1ζ sulfuric acid, equimolar amounts of water are produced as the reaction progresses, and the sulfuric acid concentration decreases. Therefore, in order to keep the reaction rate of m-xylene high, it is necessary to add a large excess of sulfuric acid to m-xylene, and industrially the molar ratio of sulfuric acid/m-xylene = 1.5 to 2 is required. I've been hired. Therefore, the reaction product liquid contains a large amount of unreacted sulfuric acid.

On the other hand, m-xylene-4-sulfonic acid easily undergoes isomerization to m-xylene-5-sulfonic acid when exposed to high temperatures in a system containing sulfuric acid. According to Japanese Patent Publication No. 49-551954, the limit temperature for this isomerization is 150°C, and therefore, as a method for recovering m-xylene-4-sulfonic acid from the reaction product liquid in high yield, this is the general method. The conventional method of removing sulfuric acid by distillation under reduced pressure cannot be adopted.

The present inventor has discovered that m-
As a result of intensive research into methods for efficiently separating xylene-4-sulfonic acid, we found that the solubility of m-xylene-4-sulfonic acid in an aqueous sulfuric acid solution varies markedly depending on the sulfuric acid concentration, and in particular, reached a minimum value around 60% by weight of sulfuric acid. The present invention was completed based on the discovery that the difference in solubility is small in the range of 50 to 70% by weight. That is, in the present invention, m-xylene-4-sulfonona is produced by reacting m-xylene and sulfuric acid, and m-xylene-4-sulfonona is produced from the resulting reaction product liquid.
- A method of crystallizing sulfonic acid under conditions where the sulfuric acid concentration in the mother liquor is 50 to 70% by weight (the remainder being water).

Here, the sulfuric acid concentration refers to the sum of sulfuric acid and water in the reaction solution as 10
This is the sulfuric acid content when bound to 0% by weight. Sulfuric acid concentration is 7
If it is less than 0%, the reaction rate will drop significantly, so it cannot be said to be an economical condition. Moreover, if it exceeds 80%, the formation of sulfone (tetramethyl diphenyl sulfonne) becomes noticeable, which is undesirable. If the reaction temperature is below 7 [1'C, the reaction rate will decrease significantly, so the reaction rate of m-xylene In order to maintain a high residence time, it is necessary to significantly extend the residence time, which is uneconomical.If the reaction temperature is 80°C or higher, the formation of sulfone becomes noticeable. Sulfuric acid 1.5 to 1 mole
The amount is 1.9 mol, preferably 1.4 to 1.9 mol.

When m-xylene-4-sulfonoic acid is crystallized from the reaction product liquid obtained by the reaction as described above, 2 mol of water is crystallized per 1 mol of m-xylene-4-sulfonic acid. It is taken up as water and crystallized as a dihydrate. For this reason, the sulfuric acid concentration of the reaction product liquid increases in proportion to the amount of crystallization.

The solubility of m-xylene-4-sulfonic acid also increases rapidly when the sulfuric acid concentration exceeds 80 hydrogen atoms. In addition, as the sulfuric acid concentration increases, crystals become finer, the viscosity of the slurry increases, and the ability to shake off the mother liquor using a centrifuge becomes extremely difficult, making it difficult to produce high-quality m-xylene-4-sulfonic acid. Therefore, by diluting with water, the sulfuric acid concentration during crystallization can be reduced to 8
It is necessary to maintain it below 0%. On the other hand, the sulfuric acid concentration is 50
It is also not preferable that the solubility of m-xylene-4-sulfonic acid is lowered to less than % by weight because the solubility of m-xylene-4-sulfonic acid increases rapidly.
