Abstract

The invention provides a method for preparing erythritol by an electrochemical method. According to the method, the erythritol is prepared by taking 1, 3-butadiene as a raw material through a pairwise electrolysis one-pot method. According to the method, a zero-polar-distance electrolytic cell with a cation exchange membrane is adopted, a raw material 1, 3-butadiene is oxidized at an anode to obtain 1, 4-dibromo-2, 3-dihydroxybutane, an anolyte is reduced at a cathode to obtain 1, 2, 3, 4-diepoxybutane, the obtained catholyte is directly acidified without treatment to obtain erythritol, and pure erythritol is obtained after neutralization treatment. The method has the advantages of wide raw material source, simple steps, high atom economy, less three wastes, low energy consumption and low cost.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of electrochemistry, and in particular relates to a method for preparing erythritol by an electrochemical method. Background technique [0002] Erythritol is widely distributed in nature, such as fruits, mushrooms, lichens, etc. In addition, it also exists in fermented foods and mammals. It is a natural sugar with sweet taste, and its sweetness is 70%-80% of that of sucrose, and its calorie is only 0.2kcal / g. Erythritol is a four-carbon sugar alcohol with the molecular formula CH 4 O 4 H 10 , the chemical structure is: [0003] [0004] Erythritol has unique nutritional properties, has relatively high digestibility, and is easily absorbed by the small intestine; Erythritol does not affect blood sugar and insulin levels, so it is suitable for diabetics to eat; because bacteria in the mouth cannot use erythritol sugar alcohols, so it does not cause tooth decay. [0005] Because erythritol has the abov...
