The invention relates to a method for controlling a
continuous reaction crystal size of a herbicide 2,4-dichlorphenoxyacetic acid. The method comprises the following steps: (1) preparing a 80-100 DEG C saturated or nearly saturated solution of a 2,4-dichlorphenoxyacetic
acid salt, and 10-38%
hydrochloric acid respectively; (2) in a crystallizer, continuously adding the 2,4-dichlorphenoxyacetic
acid salt solution and the
hydrochloric acid prepared in the step (1), wherein a
molar ratio of the 2,4-dichlorphenoxyacetic
acid salt to
hydrochloric acid is 1 to (1-1.2), controlling the
crystallization temperature at 20-60 DEG C, controlling the
retention time to 2-10 hours, continuously discharging the material to an after-treatment process to obtain the 2,4-dichlorphenoxyacetic acid product. According to the
crystal size control method disclosed by the invention, the 2,4-dichlorphenoxyacetic acid salt is dissolved at a high temperature, the 2,4-dichlorphenoxyacetic acid
salt solution and hydrochloric acid are subjected to a
continuous reaction crystallization process in the crystallizer at a low temperature, so that the problems that the 2,4-dichlorphenoxyacetic acid product produced by the process of performing acidification reaction at a high temperature and then cooling for crystallizing is low in purity and small in
crystal size and easily causes equipment
corrosion are solved. The method has the advantages that the prepared produce has a great crystal size and a high purity,
energy consumption is low, equipment
corrosion is hardly caused, the operation is simplified and the process is easily controlled automatically.
