The invention relates to a purification method for
glufosinate-
ammonium. The method comprises the following steps that a
glufosinate-
ammonium hydrochloride crude product is dissolved into a
solvent, then, alkaline is added to be subjected to a reaction, the pH value is adjusted to be 7-10, reduced pressure
distillation is performed to remove some
solvent, then filtering is performed to remove
ammonium chloride and other undissolved substances; acid is added into the reaction solution to be subjected to a reaction, the pH value is adjusted to be 1-4.5, and then filtering and
drying are performed to obtain
glufosinate-ammonium acid; the glufosinate-ammonium acid is dissolved into the
solvent, then,
ammonia gas is introduced to be subjected to a salt forming reaction, glufosinate-ammonium
solid is separated out, and filtering and
drying are performed to obtain high-purity glufosinate-ammonium. According to the purification technology,
fatty amine hard to remove and high-risk
ethylene oxide and epoxypropane are prevented from being used, the steps are simple, the obtained glufosinate-ammonium is low in inorganic
salt content and high in purity, yield and safety, water or
alcohol is used as the solvent in the technological process,
ammonium hydroxide and inorganic base are used for being subjected to a neutral reaction, the glufosinate-ammonium conforms to the environment-friendly and economical principle, and the good industrial prospect is achieved.
