The invention relates to method for preparing
taurine, comprising the following steps: (1) reacting
epoxy ethane with
sodium sulfite under 0.05 to 0.1MPa, with pH value of 6.5 to 7.5 and at temperature between 75 and 85 DEG C to obtain hydroxyethyl
sodium sulfonate; (2) carrying out ammonolysis reaction on the hydroxyethyl
sodium sulfonate and
liquid ammonia under 14 to 21MPa and at temperature between 160 and 280 DEG C to obtain ammonolysis solution containing
sodium taurate; (3) introducing the ammonolysis solution into a
single flash evaporator for primary flash evaporating at a temperature between 160 and 200 DEG C and under 1.3 to 2.0MPa; introducing the flash evaporated liquid into a secondary flash evaporating and
falling film evaporator, using the primary flash vapor as a heating medium to carry out flash evaporating and falling film evaporating on the primary flash evaporated liquid in the secondary flash evaporating and
falling film evaporator at a temperature between 110 and 140 DEG C and at 0.1 to 0.6MPa; evaporating and concentrating the flash evaporated liquid subjected to secondary flash evaporating and falling film evaporating with flash vapor and steam as heating media in a multi-effect flash evaporating and
falling film evaporator; and (4) neutralizing the
sodium taurate by sulphuric acid to obtain the
taurine. The method for preparing the
taurine has the advantages of short time, high yield and low cost, and is easy for industrialized production. In addition, by primary flash evaporating and secondary flash evaporating processes, almost all the
ammonia and 40% to 60% of water in the flash evaporated liquid can be removed, thus having double effects of removing
ammonia and condensing.
