分析監測可測定反應之總產率。然後進行HPLC分析。 反應之總產率相對於丙烯醛為96%。 實例3 本實例顯示HMTBN之工業製法,其中使用兩根吸收管 柱。 20 以丙烯醛為主之粗產物係於氣相(300-400°C )氧化丙烯 成為丙沐終之反應裔之輸出製造。此粗產物包含有溫 度之氣體混合物,該氣體混合物包含高重量百分比之難以 冷减的氣體(丙炫、氮氣、氧氣、丙稀、一氧化碳、二氧化 碳)、水、丙烯醛、丙烯酸及其它化合物。 31 200811086 然後此種以丙烯醛為主之粗產物接受處理來去除酸。 呈氣體形式之粗產物被導入洗滌管柱中,水流係循環於洗 滌管柱中。水挾帶酸。含酸液體於管柱底部被撤出。純化 後之氣體於管柱頂部被撤出。 5 如此所得氣相丙烯醛被導入吸收管柱頂部。維持於大 氣壓之此管柱也以1〇〇千克/小時流速被進給氣相氫氰酸。 如此被導入之氫氰酸係於反應器中於高溫(大於1

acid is in the form of an aqueous solution of about 20% to 80% by weight. This solution can be prepared on the outside of the device, but it is also possible to provide water on the line. After the tubular reactor 1, there is a column 15 which circulates the hydrogen cyanide gas phase. Such a column can also adjust the amount of hydrocyanic acid introduced into the tubular reactor 1. Acryl cyanohydrin 61 is recovered at reactor output 1 and subsequently sent to tubular 20 reactor 60. Tubular reactor 60 is also fed with methyl mercaptan at 63. Also available at 64 is expected to be used to adjust the pH of the feed. After the tubular reactor 60, there is a column 65 which circulates the methyl mercaptan gas phase. Such a column can also adjust the amount of thiol that is introduced into the tubular reactor 60. 18 200811086 HMTBN aqueous solution is recovered at 62. Referring now to Figure 3 and Figures 4, 5 and 6, the method of preparation is described. This method is carried out as a first reaction step, which in the case of Figure 3 is the first reactive absorption 1. The first reactive absorption 1 is fed to a gaseous stream 2 comprising a propylene aldehyde. A gaseous stream 3 comprising hydrocyanic acid is also fed. The reaction medium flow is circulated in the absorption column 1. The pH is particularly conditioned by the feed 4 to the reaction medium stream. As detailed in Figure 4, the gaseous stream 2 comprising acrolein is derived from oxidation 20 followed by washing 25. 10 The oxidation reactor 20 is fed with propylene 21, air 22 and water 23. It is a gas phase propylene oxidation reactor. The crude product 24 is produced at the reactor output. This crude product 24 comprises a gaseous mixture comprising a high weight percentage gas (propane, nitrogen, oxygen, propylene, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide), water, acrolein, acrylic acid and other compounds which are difficult to condense. Thus, in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, the acid contained in the product obtained after oxidation is removed by washing 25 after the oxidation of 20 propylene 21 using air 22 in the presence of water 23 and prior to reactive absorption 1. This crude product 24 is therefore washed 25, allowing it to be removed. The crude product in the form of gas 20 24 is directed to the wash column 25, and the water stream 26 and the water stream 27 are circulated in the wash column 25. Water 26 挟 with acid. The acid-containing liquid 27 is extracted at the bottom of the washing column 25. The purified gas 2 is sent at the top of the column 25 and is directed to the reactive absorption 1. As detailed in Figure 5, the reactive absorption 1 is also fed to the hydrous cyanide 19 200811086 acid gas stream 3 ° This gaseous stream 3 is derived from the synthesis reactor 3, followed by washing. The synthesis reactor 30 is fed with ammonia 31, methane 32 and air illusion. Ammonia oxidation of methane using ammonia, for example, in the presence of air and a solid catalyst. The reaction is extremely fast. At very high temperatures. A crude product 34 rich in hydrocyanic acid is produced at reactor output 30. After cooling, this crude product 34 is obtained at reactor output 30 and then washed 35 prior to reactive absorption 1. The unreacted ammonia is removed by the aqueous sulfuric acid solution introduced into the top portion 36 of the column, and the aqueous sulfuric acid solution is circulated in the counter-flow direction in the 10 wash column 35. Ammonium sulfate is extracted at the bottom 37 of the column 35. As described in detail in Fig. 6, in the absorption device, the first step of the HMTBN synthesis according to the present invention is carried out, and the gas bear product obtained at the top of the absorption device can be partially circulated in the washing column 50, and the reaction medium 51 is flowed. It is circulated in 15 wash column 50. Device 52 allows the separation of propylene from other lighter compounds (c〇, C〇2, nitrogen, helium 2, and HCN). For example, the device can be a device that absorbs water or a compression and cooling device. Hydrogen cyanide is removed by washing (absorption) with water; propylene is recovered by condensation and distillation, or propylene is recovered from organic solvent by absorption, so it can be combined with products that cannot be condensed (carbon dioxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, etc.) Separation. The propylene is not contaminated (because excess propylene is not in contact with the sulphur-containing product) and can therefore be recycled, as opposed to prior art processes involving the contact of acrolein with methyl mercaptan. As explained above, this is a technical advantage of the present invention. 20 200811086 The propylene thus circulated is then directed to a feed line 21 which is fed to an oxidation reactor 20 through which acrolein is produced. Thus, in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, the propylene cycle 53 is carried out after reactive absorption 1 to before oxidation 20. 5 The bottom of the washing column 50 is guided to the distillation column 55 by means of a tube 54. The hydrogen sulphate used in % is extracted from the top of the treatment column 55 and is guided to the absorption column 1 via the line %. According to Fig. 3, the bottom fraction of the absorption column contains acrolein which is guided to the second absorption column 6 by means of a feed tube 61. 10 A pH measuring device 65 can be provided before being introduced into the second column. This means 65 allows adjustment of the pH in the absorption column 1. If desired, a storage tank 66 for the bottoms of the column 1 can be placed before the introduction of the column 6 ,, i.e., before the start of the second step. The absorption column 6 in which the second step of the process is carried out is fed to a gaseous stream 63 containing methyl mercaptan in the form of a purified liquid or gas. The reaction medium circulates through the absorption column 60 in a manner similar to the absorption column 1. The pfj can be adjusted in particular by the feed 64 fed to the reactive medium stream of the absorption column. The HMTBN aqueous solution 62 is extracted at the bottom of the absorption column 60. This 2 〇 solution storage unit can be set. Fig. 7 shows a device for producing methionine from an industrial aqueous solution ιοί containing HMTBN. This method is carried out as a continuous aqueous phase hydrolysis 70. According to the foregoing definition, this hydrolysis does not separate or separate the intermediate product. 21 200811086 The reactor 70 is fed with an aqueous solution 101 by means of a feed pipe. Prior to introduction into the reactor 70, the aqueous phase 77 of aqueous ammonia and carbon dioxide is introduced into the aqueous solution 101 containing HMTBN via a feed tube. The pressure of the aqueous solution 1〇1 has been previously adjusted to restore the original pressure through the pump 72. The 5 HMTBN aqueous solution has a concentration of preferably greater than 30%. For example, an HMTBN solution having a concentration greater than or equal to 60% can be used. The solution also contains water and associated derivative products, primarily derived from the synthesis of HMTBN, for example from chlorocyanic acid and sulfuric acid. According to the present invention, the present synthesis is carried out using an aqueous solution of HMTBN, whereby 10 provides a number of industrial advantages. In particular, the use of an aqueous solution of HMTBN avoids the use of a stripping column (or steam distillation column) to recover the solvent. In addition, there are advantages in terms of cost and processing. According to the invention 'when the temperature is fixed', pressure is applied to have a liquid phase. The temperature in the reactor 70 is raised to 250 ° C in a stepwise manner at the mixture temperature (i.e., between 2 〇〇 c 15 and 90 ° C). According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the synthesis is carried out at a temperature of from 20 C to 220 C. For aqueous phase operation, the pressure must be from 5 to 100 bar (preferably about 20 bar). During the reaction, the temperature within the reaction was raised from the temperature of the mixture (i.e., to between 90 ° C) to the plateau temperature. 20 At the input end of Reaction Benefit 70, the HMTBN/NH3 molar ratio is between 1/5 and 1/50, for example about 1/20, followed by a molar excess of aqueous ammonia relative to hwtbn. The molar ratio of HMTBN/C〇2 is! To 1/2 inch, for example, the input of reactor 70 is about 1/10 or 1/3. It mainly contains methionine, carbon dioxide and ammonia in a dissolved form of water-soluble 22 200811086 liquid recovered at 73. Fig. 8 shows a device for producing methionine from an industrial aqueous solution 1HM1 containing HMTBN. The reactor 70 is fed to the aqueous solution 101 by means of a feed tube. 5 Prior to introduction into the reactor, the aqueous phase 77 of aqueous ammonia and carbon dioxide is introduced into the aqueous solution 101 containing HMTBN via a feed tube. The pressure of the aqueous solution 1 〇 has been previously adjusted to restore the original pressure through the pump 72. The HMTBN aqueous solution has a concentration of preferably greater than 30%. For example, an HMTBN solution having a concentration greater than or equal to 60% can be used. The solution also contains water and related derivative products, mainly derived from the synthesis of HMTBN, for example from hydrogen cyanide and sulfuric acid. According to the present invention, the present synthesis is carried out using an aqueous solution of HMTBN, thereby providing a number of industrial advantages. In particular, the use of an aqueous solution of HMTBN avoids the use of a stripping column (or steam distillation column) to recover the solvent. In addition, there are advantages in terms of cost and location. According to the invention, when the temperature is fixed, a pressure is applied to have a liquid phase. The temperature at which the reaction is 70 is ramped up to 250 ° C in the stepwise manner at the mixture temperature (i.e., between 2 Torr and 90 to 90 ° C). According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the synthesis is carried out at a temperature of from 20 C to 220 °C. For aqueous phase operation, the pressure must be from 20 5 to 100 bar (preferably about 2 bar). During the reaction, the temperature in the reactor is raised from the temperature of the mixture (i.e., between 2 〇〇c and 90 C) to the plateau temperature. At the input of Reaction Benefit 70, the hrtbn/NH3 molar ratio is still between 1/5 Torr, for example about 1/20; and then with aqueous ammonia being relatively large relative to HMTBN2. The molar ratio of HMTBN/C〇2 is from 1 to 1/20, for example about 1/10 or 1/3 at the input of reactor 70. The output 73 comprising mainly methionine, carbon dioxide and ammonia in dissolved form is obtained by hydrolysis of HMTBN at the outlet of reactor 70. This mixture is reduced in pressure, e.g., to atmospheric pressure, prior to being introduced into the stripping column 80 (also referred to as a steam-steam column), for example, using a pressure reducing valve 74. In column 80, the introduced reduced pressure mixture is separated into a methionine-rich liquid stream 82 and a gaseous stream 81 rich in ammonia and carbon dioxide. 10 At the top of column 80, ammonia and carbon dioxide are also included and water and gaseous streams are condensed into stream 83. Stream 83 is then stored at 84. The storage tank 84 includes an exhaust port 85 as needed. According to the present invention, the term "ammonia" is intended to mean a phase substantially containing NH3; the term "aqueous ammonia" is intended to mean a phase substantially containing NH4OH. 15 m in the same way, 'when referring to the "gas phase containing carbon dioxide", the intention is to express a phase containing carbon monoxide in the form of gas sorrow; and when referring to the "aqueous phase containing carbon dioxide", it is intended to mean the phase containing h2co3 in essence. . The term "substantially" indicates that the phase of interest contains an excess of the compound under consideration, which is greater than 50%, more particularly greater than 70%. 20 The aqueous phase containing the aqueous gas and the niobium oxide 7 is recycled to the hydrolysis reactor 7 by means of a feed line 77 after its pressure has been adjusted again. According to the invention, a feed pipe 75 can also be provided before the pressure is again adjusted back, which feeds the ammonia, carbon dioxide and/or water to the feed pipe 77. Such a feed tube allows adjustment of ammonia, carbon dioxide and/or water 24 200811086 if required. The liquid stream containing methionine, i.e., the citrate, i.e., the aqueous solution of the reduced methionine, is withdrawn from the bottom of the stripping column 80 by means of a withdrawal tube 82. 5 This liquid is cooled in heat exchanger 86 to precipitate methionine. However, any means known to those skilled in the art, including evaporation, can also be applied at any point. The liquid thus obtained is sent to the separator 90, thereby allowing the unreacted product which is less produced by the HMTBN to remain in the aqueous phase (referred to as the aqueous mother liquor) to separate the methionine in a solid form. The methionine in solid form is recovered at 95, and the aqueous mother liquor 92 is sent to the reactor 70 via the feed line 92 after the pressure has been adjusted by the pump 91. This type of circulation loop is particularly good. Figure 9 shows another cycle possibility in accordance with the present invention. 15 At 92, the thiline-producing product can be chemically treated or enzymatically catalyzed prior to recycling. The methionine-producing product can be recycled to the hydrolysis reactor 70' to the stripping column 8 or recycled to the withdrawal tube. According to one embodiment of the invention, the aqueous mother liquor 92 is recycled after chemical treatment or enzymatic treatment. The cycle can be carried out, for example, to the column 8 or to the stream 82. According to the present invention, the aqueous mother (4) is naturally recycled to the reactor 70 without chemical treatment or enzymatic treatment. As shown in FIG. 1 , according to one embodiment of the present invention, the synthesis of methionine is carried out in a tubular reactor or a plurality of stirred reverse 25 200811086 reactors 710, 720, 730 and 740. In progress. The number of stirred reactors is not particularly limited. The preferred system is greater than 3, but there is no limit to the number of Yuan Da. According to one embodiment of the invention, the methionine-rich stream 82 is separated by fractional crystallization 91, thus first obtaining solid methionine 95 and second obtaining aqueous mother liquor 92. Segmented crystals 91 also produce a gaseous stream 92 which is referred to as a "concentrated product" of aqueous and light products. After condensation 93, stream 94 can be stored as needed. Figure 11 shows a device for preparing methionine from a propylene disk. The preparation of the HMTBN solution contained two tubular reactors 1 and 6. The first step of the method, that is, the synthesis of acrolein by acrolein and hydrocyanic acid is carried out in a tubular reactor i; and the second step of the process of the invention, that is, the addition of MSH to the acrolein obtained in the first step The cyanohydrin is carried out in the reactor 6. While Figure 11 shows two reactors in tubular form, it is contemplated in accordance with the present invention that such steps are carried out in a stirred reactor or batch reactor or any other suitable reactor. The tubular reactor 1 is fed with acrylic acid at 2, and the hydrocyanic acid is fed at 3. The molar ratio of hydrocyanic acid/acrolein is from 1 to 1 Torr and preferably from 1 to 3. Feeds intended to adjust pH can also be provided at 4 and constitute the primary feature of the present invention. According to one embodiment of the invention, a pH adjusting solution, such as a buffer solution, is introduced after mixing with other streams, 2 and 3. The hydrocyanic acid is introduced as an aqueous solution in the form of, for example, about 5% to 90% by weight of an aqueous solution. This solution can be prepared on the outside of the unit, but can also be supplied on the water line 26 200811086 5 . The cyanohydrin 61 is recovered at the output of the reactor 1 and then sent to the tubular reactor 60. Tubular reactor 60 is also fed to MSH at 63. Also provided at 64 is a feed intended to adjust the pH. The HMTBN aqueous solution was recovered at 62. • The method also implements a third step 70. An aqueous phase containing aqueous ammonia and carbon dioxide is added to the aqueous solution 62 containing HMTBN through the feed pipe 77 before being introduced into the reactor. 10 An aqueous solution containing HMTBN, aqueous ammonia and carbon dioxide was introduced into the reactor 70 after the pressure of 72 was adjusted back. A mixture 73 comprising methionine, carbon dioxide and ammonia in dissolved form is recovered from the output of reactor 70. 15 • A method for preparing methionine from acrolein will now be described with reference to Figs. 12 and 13. The difference between the two figures and the eleventh figure is the implementation method shown. In a device similar to that of Figure 11, the preparation of the HMTBN solution according to Figure 12 or Figure 13 involves two reactors 1 and 6〇. The first step of the process is carried out in a tubular reactor 1, and the second step of the process of the invention is carried out in a reactor 60. 20 After the reactor 1, there is a column 15, in which cyanohydrin is fed, and the circulation of the hydrogen cyanide gas phase is allowed. This column can also adjust the amount of hydrocyanic acid introduced into the reactor 1. Acryl cyanohydrin 61 is recovered at the output of column 15 and sent to tubular reactor 60. 27 200811086 By the same token, the HMTBN is sent to the column 65 at the output of the reactor 60. This allows recycling of unreacted products. The difference between the device of Figure 13 and the device of Figure 12 is that the third step is stated. An aqueous phase 77 containing aqueous ammonia and carbon dioxide is added to the aqueous solution 62 containing hydrazine. The pressure of the entire mixture is adjusted back to the original pressure by the pump 72. The reactor 70 is also fed to an aqueous solution 71, that is, an industrial solution mainly comprising carbendazim thiourea, but also a derivative product related to the production of methionine, that is, ureidoacetic acid, Ubium succinimide and 2-amino-based (methylthio)butanamine (also known as hydrazine). The term "methionine production" is intended to mean any compound which can be produced by the hydrolysis of ammonia to produce methionine. According to the present invention, the aqueous solution of carbendazim which is itself a methionine-producing compound also contains a methionine-producing derivative 15 product, particularly the above-mentioned ureidoacetic acid, urea succinimide and 2-amino group. · 4_(Methylthio)butanamine. By definition, methionine is not included in the methionine-producing compound. The output of the reactor 70 is obtained as an output product comprising mainly methionine, carbon dioxide and ammonia in dissolved form. 20 In the column 8 ,, the introduced reduced pressure mixture is separated into a methionine-rich liquid stream 82 and a gaseous stream 81 rich in ammonia and carbon dioxide. At the top of the column 80, a gaseous stream 81 rich in ammonia and carbon dioxide, also containing water, is condensed and then stored at 84. The reservoir 84 can include an vent 85 as desired. 28 200811086 Part of the ammonia gas is condensed. The aqueous phase of aqueous ammonia and carbon dioxide is recycled to the reactor after the pressure is adjusted back to 76. Thus, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, after condensation, the stream 81 rich in gas and carbon dioxide is stored 84 and is recycled to the third step after the pressure is adjusted back to 76. According to the invention, a feed tube 75 can also be provided which feeds ammonia and/or carbon dioxide before the pressure is adjusted back. Such a feed tube also allows adjustment of the ammonia content and/or the oxidizing content if desired. The liquid stream of methionine-rich liquid is withdrawn at the bottom of the column 8〇. The liquid thus obtained is then sent to a separator 90, and the methionine in solid form can be separated from the unreacted B. sinensis product (referred to as an aqueous mother liquor) remaining in the aqueous phase. The methionine in solid form is recovered at 95. The by-product is adjusted back to 91 after pressure and sent to reactor 7 via feed line 92. 15 This loop is especially good. The foregoing other types of cycles are also within the scope of the invention as alternative embodiments. Figure 14 shows the entire procedure for the preparation of methionine from acrolein in accordance with the present invention. The blocks are detailed in Figures 4, 5, 6 and 13 respectively. The advantages of the invention will be appreciated from the following examples. 2 〇 Example 1 (Test NCA 18) This example shows a continuous process for the preparation of 11]^1^1^ in accordance with the present invention. The materials used are as follows: • a jacketed reactor with a jacket; - a condenser column; 29 200811086 -msh "aeration" with a drop tube; - pH electrode; • an introduction and sampling syringe. The operating conditions are as follows: 5 The reaction medium is magnetically stirred. The synthesis is carried out at atmospheric pressure. Monitor temperature and pH. 15.70 grams of 95% acrolein was introduced into the reactor. 28.60 g of hydrocyanic acid was slowly introduced into the reaction medium at a 29.3% by weight aqueous solution. During the influx, 17.2 ml of phosphate buffer, pH 7, was added. Thus, the addition of a pH adjusted to 4 to 6 ° buffer can initiate the synthesis of acrolein. Then observe 10 to get an exotherm. When all of the hydrocyanic acid had been introduced into the reactor (end of hydrogen cyanide ingress), 35.20 grams of methyl mercaptan (gas) was added to the reaction medium. This addition allows _ continuous synthesis. When all of the methyl mercaptan has been added (so equivalent to the end of the synthesis) at 15 o', the reaction medium is acidified to pH = 2 by adding 1 N of 95% sulfuric acid (reaction stop). Evaporate in a vacuum (4 mm Hg) and recover 34 2 g of HMTBN at 5 rc. Therefore, the molars are as follows: 20 MSH / acrolein = 2.76 HCN / propionate = 1 · 16 Analytical monitoring allowed judgment The total yield was then analyzed by Hplc. The total yield of the reaction was 95% relative to acrolein. The conversion of acrolein was 100%. The content of HMTBN was 98%. 30 200811086 Example 2 (Test NCA20) This example A continuous process for the preparation of HMTBN according to the present invention is shown. The materials used are the same as in Example 1. The reaction medium is magnetically stirred. The synthesis is carried out under atmospheric pressure. The temperature and pH are monitored. 15·0 g of 95% acrolein is introduced into the reaction. 28.0 g 29.3% by weight of aqueous solution of hydrocyanic acid slowly flowed into the medium. During this inflow, 33 g of phosphate buffer was added, pH 7 to the test. The pH was adjusted to pH 4 to pH 6. The buffer was adjusted. The addition allows the reaction to be initiated to synthesize acrolein. When all of the hydrocyanic acid has been introduced into the reactor (at the end of the hydrocyanic acid inflow of 10), 21.4 grams of methyl mercaptan (gas) is added to the reaction medium. When the alcohol has been added, add 95% 1N sulfuric acid acidified the reaction medium to pH 2 (stopping of the reaction). Under reduced pressure (4 mm Hg) and 5 Torr. (: After evaporation by evaporation, 32.6 g of HMTBN was recovered. 15 Analytical monitoring The total yield of the reaction was determined. Then, HPLC analysis was carried out. The total yield of the reaction was 96% relative to acrolein. Example 3 This example shows an industrial process for HMTBN in which two absorption columns are used. 20 Acrylaldehyde-based crude product is in the gas phase ( 300-400 ° C) propylene oxide is produced as the output of the reaction of the end of the propylene. The crude product contains a gas mixture of temperature, which contains a high percentage by weight of gas that is difficult to cool (cyan, nitrogen, oxygen, Propylene, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, water, acrolein, acrylic acid and other compounds. 31 200811086 This crude product, mainly acrolein, is then treated to remove the acid. The crude product in gaseous form is introduced into the wash column. The water flow is circulated in the washing column. The water is acid. The acid-containing liquid is withdrawn at the bottom of the column. The purified gas is withdrawn at the top of the column. It is introduced into the top of the absorption column. The column maintained at atmospheric pressure is also fed to the gas phase hydrocyanic acid at a flow rate of 1 〇〇 kg / hr. The hydrocyanic acid thus introduced is in the reactor at a high temperature (greater than 1 〇). 〇〇°c temperature) is obtained by ammonia oxidation of ammonia, methane and air. The mixture is then cooled and introduced into the washing column in which the sulfuric acid stream is circulated to remove excess ammonia. 10 In the first absorption column, acrolein The reaction with hydrocyanic acid is carried out with excess hydrocyanic acid. The use of an absorption column allows the separation of the heavy product from the light product, thereby recovering the most volatile product at the top of the reactor, in the unreacted hydrogen. In the case of cyanic acid, the product can then be recycled. The hydrogen cyanide gas phase is then sent to the wash tube where the circulating water stream is passed. The hydrocyanic acid in the aqueous solution withdrawn from the bottom of the column 15 is then sent to the distillation column. The hydrogen cyanide thus distilled is sent to the top of the absorption column, thus producing a hydrocyanic acid falling liquid stream in the aqueous phase in the first absorption column. Attention should be paid to the recycling of propylene at the top of the hydrocyanic acid scrubbing column. The propylene oxide must then be separated from carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen and gas. The acrolein solution in the aqueous phase is condensed on the absorption column, and the hydrocyanate descending liquid in the aqueous phase is reacted. 'Because of the vapor pressure', the acryl alcohol in the aqueous phase thus obtained is heavier, so it is withdrawn at the bottom of the absorption column and then re-introduced into the top of the second absorption tube 32 200811086 column. The crude product mainly composed of methyl mercaptan in the gas phase is also introduced into the second absorption column. The methyl mercaptan is derived from the reaction between methanol CH3OH and hydrogen sulfide H2s. A stable aqueous solution of HMTBN (30% to 80% by weight HMTBN) is withdrawn at the bottom of the 5 second absorption column. Example 4 Two tests (AME 152 and AME 153) were performed. These tests show the method of continuously producing methionine according to the present invention. 10 152 152 Procedure: Load the following into a fully stirred reactor: -59.25 g citric acid solution (40%), -14.85 g acrolein, 15 then add 40.10 g sodium cyanide solution.

The total reaction time starting from the introduction of sodium cyanide was 2 hours. 20 NB: A citric acid solution and a sodium cyanide solution are used to provide hydrocyanic acid for acrolein. Industrially, hydrocyanic acid can be introduced separately rather than with any salt. The degree of conversion of acrylic acid is 100%. The yield of methionine was about 44%, and the yield of methionine producing product + guanidine thioglycol was 74%. 33 200811086 ΑΜΕ 153 Procedure: Load the following into a fully stirred reactor: -58.55 grams of citric acid solution (40%), 5 - 13.95 grams of acrylic acid, then add 40.55 grams of sodium cyanide solution.
