4 Claims, N0 Drawings METHOD FOR SEPARA'IING AMMONIUM SULFATE FROM AN AQUEOUS SOLUTION ()F AMMONIUM BISULFATE AND AMMONIUM SULFATE This is a continuation. of application Ser. No. 332,668. filed Feb. 15. l973 now abandoned.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for separating ammonium sulfate from ammonium bisulfate. and. in particular. to a method of separating ammonium sulfate from an aqueous solution containing ammonium bisulfate and organic synthesis material.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION It has recently been found that certain organic synthesis can be carried out by utilizing ammonium bisulfate. In many of these reactions, ammonium sulfate is formed as a byproduct that must either be disposed of or regenerated. Because the disposal problem is now becoming inherently more difficult to deal with. it is highly desirable to regenerate ammonium bisulfate therefrom. Not only does regeneration effectively avoid or eliminate the disposal problem. it also renders the organic synthesis more economical.
Also, in many of the synthesis reactions. excess quantities of ammonium bisulfate are preferred or required. In these reactions. not only is ammonium sulfate a byproduct. but it is usually found with the excess quantities of ammonium bisulfate and certain unreacted or partially reacted organics utilized in the synthesis reaction. Various methods of regeneration have recently been proposed. One such method first removes the organics found in the aqueous solution of ammonium bisulfate and ammonium sulfate to prevent undesirable foaming. Thereafter. a fused mixture of ammonium bisulfate and ammonium sulfate is prepared which is contacted with hot sweep gases to convert the ammonium sulfate to bisulfate.
While this method performs well and provides efficient regeneration of ammonium sulfate to bisulfate. it does require apparatus for handling large quantities of ammonium bisulfate that does not need to be regenerated. Accordingly, it is desirable to have a method which preferentially separates the ammonium sulfate and organics from the aqueous solution containing them as well as ammonium bisulfate.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a method for separating ammonium sulfate from an aqueous solution containing same and ammonium bisulfate. The method of the present invention also provides for removing organics present in the aqueous solution of ammonium bisulfate.
Generally, the method of the present invention comprises adding to an aqueous solution of ammonium bisulfate. ammonium sulfate, and residual organics. if any. an alcohol. preferably methanol. The addition of alcohol preferentially causes the precipitation of all of the ammonium sulfate from the aqueous solution. Preferably. the ammonium sulfate is thereafter filtered and the filtered solids washed with an alcohol. preferably methanol. to clean any of the organics present thereon. The organics dissolved by the alcohol can be recovered after recovering the alcohol by distillation and recycled. if desired. back to the synthesis reaction together with the aqueous ammonium bisulfate solution. Be-
7 cause the method of the present invention provides for the precipitation of substantially pure crystalline ammonium sulfate. the sulfate can be used substantially in precipitated or preferably washed form after drying of methanol as a fertilizer or may be regenerated to ammonium bisulfate by known methods for use in the organic synthesis.
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Solutions of ammonium bisulfate. ammonium sulfate and. optionally water. from organic synthesis reactions are treated with alcohol. preferably methanol. after the synthesized product has been removed therefrom. Suitable alcohols in addition to methanol include ethanol. butanol, isopropanol. and the like. However. because of the relative cheapness of methanol. it is preferred. The alcohol is added to the aqueous solution preferably in amounts from about 400 to 500% by weight of the amount of ammonium sulfate theoretically present. The temperature at which separation is effective to remove all of the ammonium sulfate present is from pref erably to C.
It may be desirable to concentrate the aqueous solution prior to the sulfate removable. since less alcohol would be required to effectuate precipitation. For instance. in Example 1 below. it was found advantageous to concentrate the raffinate by evaporation of of the water present therein. This provided a more concentrated solution of ammonium sulfate and ammonium bisulfate. With that particular concentration. for
example. substantially all of the ammonium sulfate present was removed by precipitation. That concentration of salt before precipitation is about the minimum concentration possible while maintaining the salt in solution at room temperature.
The following generalized examples more clearly set forth the advantages of the present invention:
EXAMPLE 1 EXAMPLE 2 Example 1 was repeated using methanol for the selective precipitation and recovery of ammonium sulfate from the concentrated raffinate after extraction of the synthesized material. The raffinate was thereafter fortified with ammonium bisulfate in water, an aromatic amine equal in amount to those consumed and recycled. The results of these runs are set forth in the following table:
