The invention relates to a method and device for using crude hydrocyanic acid to continuously produce D, L-
methionine. The device comprises a hydrocyanic acid synthetic
tower, an acid
tower, a multi-level series tank reactor, a static mixing reactor I, a stripping
tower I, a static mixing reactor II, a tank reactor, a stripping tower II and a neutralizing kettle. The method for continuously producing the D, L-
methionine comprises the steps of the preparation of cyanic acid
mixed gas II, the preparation of 2-hydroxy-4-methylthio-
butyronitrile in the multi-level series tank reactor, the preparation of 2-amino-4-methylthio-
butyronitrile in the static mixing reactor I, the preparation of D, L-
methionine potassium in the static mixing reactor II and the tank reactor, the preparation of the D, L-methionine through the
neutralization in the neutralizing kettle, and the treatment on products or reaction residues by using a low-temperature
storage tank, an incinerator, a stripping tower, a washing kettle and the like. According to the device and method, provided by the invention, crude hydrocyanic acid and crude methylthiopropanal are used for continuously producing the D, L-methionine, the production cost is low, the side reactions are few, the yield is high, and industrial large-scale
continuous production can be realized.
