The invention relates to a method for preparing
ethylenediamine esilate. The method comprises the steps that
glycolonitrile and
taurine salt serve as raw materials, or
glycolonitrile,
taurine and
alkali metal hydroxide serve as raw materials, and cyanoethyl
taurine salt is obtained through a
dehydration condensation reaction; then, under the action of a hydrogenation catalyst, an
ethylenediamine esilate hydrogenation solution is obtained through hydrogenation; a
solvent is removed, and then the product
ethylenediamine esilate is obtained. According to the catalyst, aluminum
oxide and / or
silicon oxide serve / serves as a carrier, and NiO, CoO, MoO3, MnO2 and Tc2O7 serve as
active components. According to the method, ethylenediamine esilate can be obtained with a high conversion rate and
high selectivity as long as light components such as the
solvent in the hydrogenation solution are removed, the method is
environmentally friendly in process, economical, safe and high in product yield, and has the industrialization amplification prospects, and purification is easy.
