The invention relates to a preparation method for 9, 10-dihydroxy
stearic acid and methyl ester, which is characterized in that the
oleic acid and the
formic acid are mixed uniformly in
room temperature; the mixture is added with
hydrogen peroxide, and warmed up and separated from water phase; the
solvent is recycled through decompression and
distillation; the generative reaction admixture is recrystallized with
organic solvent, so that the product 9, 10-dihydroxy
stearic acid is prepared. The recovered
formic acid solution can generate ice-cream
calcium formate salt separation by adding
calcium oxide and
calcium carbonate; subsequently the methyl
alcohol and oil of
vitriol is arranged into the product 9, 10-dihydroxy
stearic acid for a
reflux reaction, and then is rotated and vaporized out the water phase and
oil phase for being washed to be neutral, thereby the 9, 10-dihydroxy stearic acid methyl ester product is generated through
dehydration. The invention has the advantages of clean process, safe implementation, easy operation, full utilization of the reactant, reduced waste emission, effective utilization of the low-concentration
hydrogen peroxide, and favorableness to large-scale production.
