Problems solved by technology

However, the separation of glycolic acid and ammonium sulfate is the key to whether this method can realize industrial production.
Some methods have been developed to separate such mixtures, such as the esterification hydrolysis method disclosed in Chinese patent CN17204504A, this method is to carry out esterification reaction with methanol or ethanol to generate glycolic acid methyl ester or ethyl glycolate ester, and then carry out rectification and purification to achieve the purpose of separating from the by-product ammonium bisulfate. The disadvantage of this method is that the loss of alcohol is large, a large amount of ammonium sulfate is produced by-product, and the production cost is high; membrane electrodialysis, this method can get High-purity glycolic acid products, but the problems of electrodialysis membrane pollution, power consumption and by-product ammonium sulfate recovery are difficult to solve, which largely limits its application and development

Abstract

The invention discloses a method of extracting glycolic acid from water solution mixture containing the glycolic acid. The method has the following steps: synergistic extraction agent is delivered into an extraction column from the bottom, the water solution mixture containing the glycolic acid is delivered into the extraction column from the top, extraction phase after extraction flows out of the upper part of the extraction column, and raffinate phase after extraction flows out of the lower part of the extraction column; the extraction phase flowing out of the upper part of the extraction column is delivered into a back-extraction column from the bottom; back-extraction water is delivered into the back-extraction column from the top of the back-extraction column; back-extraction water phase which flows out of the lower part of the back-extraction column is concentrated to obtain the glycolic acid; back-extraction organic phase flows out of the upper part of the back-extraction column. The method has the advantages that the technological process is simpler, the capacity of the organic phase is large, the production capacity of equipment is high, the extractant regeneration is convenient, the energy consumption during the process is small, and the manufacturing cost is low; the volatility of the extractant is small without toxicity, the emulsification is hard, the misphasing speed is high, and the separative efficiency is high; the operation is convenient and stable, and the product quality is high.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for extracting glycolic acid from an aqueous solution mixture containing glycolic acid. Background technique [0002] Glycolic acid is a kind of fruit acid, also known as glycolic acid, glycylic acid or glycolic acid. It is an α-hydroxy acid with the simplest chemical structure. It is also an important fine chemical raw material. It is used in medical materials, special washing And cosmetics and other industries have a wide range of applications. [0003] Pure glycolic acid is a colorless, odorless, slightly hygroscopic translucent crystal. Most industrial products are 70% glycolic acid aqueous solution by weight, which is a light yellow liquid with a caramel-like smell. Glycolic acid in nature mainly exists in sugarcane, sugar beet and immature grape juice, its content is low, and it coexists complexly with other substances, so it is difficult to separate and purify. Currently, glycolic acid on the market i...
