The invention relates to a method which utilizes
sodium salicylate solution to refine, process and produce
salicylic acid.
Phenol reacts with liquid alkali, so that
sodium phenolate is generated, the dried
sodium phenolate reacts with
carbon dioxide to generate
sodium salicylate, which is then resolved in water, and therefore the
sodium salicylate solution is produced. The first step is to regulate the pH value, that is, the
sodium salicylate solution with twenty to forty percent of
mass concentration is heated until 50 DEG C to 75 DEG C, and the pH value is regulated to four to six; the second step is to preserve heat, that is, the sodium salicylate solution is added with
activated carbon and thermally insulated for two to four hours under the condition of temperature between 50 DEG C and 75 DEG C; the third step is
filtration, the sodium salicylate solution is filtered, the filtrate is added with
rongalite when filtrate is clean, and after five to twenty minutes, the filtrate is filtered into an acid eduction pot; in the fourth step, the
salicylic acid is separated out from the acid eduction pot by utilizing
vitriol to regulate the pH valve to one to two point five, and a pure product with more than ninety nine point three percent of content is produced after temperature reduction,
filtration, washing and
drying of the
salicylic acid. The production technique of the invention has the advantages of simple process, convenient operation, little
pollution, low
material consumption and high purity of products, and meanwhile, the invention is convenient for industrialized production.
