The invention discloses an
improved method for preparing
glycine ethyl ester hydrochloride. The method includes the steps of putting
glycine, ethyl
alcohol and
hydrogen chloride according to a certainratio for salinization and esterification, adding dehydrant for evaporating water, conducting cooling, crystallizing, centrifugal separating and
drying to obtain a product, adding a certain volume ofwater to a three-element
system composed of the evaporated dehydrant, ethyl
alcohol and water for standing and phase separating, directly recycling a phase layer of the dehydrant, conducting phase separating to obtain a water phase for recovering ethyl
alcohol for use, and recycling a centrifugal mother solution for material putting. After salinization and esterification of
glycine, the content of water in esterification liquid is reduced,
glycine hydrochloride can continue to be esterified into glycine ethyl
hydrochloride in the rectification process, the generated water is taken away at thesame time, and the product conversion rate is increased; the mother solution obtained after
crystallization and
centrifugation is recycled without
distillation,
neutralization and rectification treatment of each batch, the treatment amount of leftovers and waste salt is reduced, and
energy consumption is also reduced. Meanwhile, the content of
glycine hydrochloride is reduced, so the product quality is improved.
