The invention relates to a method for synthesizing
ethylene sulfate, and belongs to the technical field of chemical power supplies. The method comprises the following steps: A, carrying out a contactreaction on
sulfur dioxide with
ethylene oxide in the presence of a composite catalyst, controlling the
reaction temperature to be 120-160 DEG C, introducing
sulfur dioxide gas to keep the pressure ofthe
reaction system at 5-12 MPa, and controlling the reaction time at 1-2.5 hours to obtain
ethylene sulfite for standby use; B, adding an
aqueous solution of
sodium hydrogen carbonate into the ethylene
sulfite obtained in the step A, carrying out cooling to a temperature
ranging from -5 DEG C to 5 DEG C, dropwise adding a
mixed solution of
sodium periodate and
ruthenium trichloride under a condition with a temperature
ranging from -5 DEG C to 5 DEG C, keeping the temperature for 1-1.5 hours after the adding is completed so as to obtain a reaction solution with co-existed water phase and organic phase, carrying out standing for layering, and separating out the water phase to obtain the organic phase, namely a crude product of the ethylene
sulfate; and C, carrying out molecular
distillation on the crude product of the ethylene
sulfate obtained in the step B under the condition with a temperature of 70-80 DEG C to obtain the ethylene sulfate. The ethylene sulfate prepared by the methodhas high purity and high yield, and when the ethylene sulfate is added into a battery, the performance of the battery is better.
