Problems solved by technology

[0005] The key synthesis step of the ethylene oxide method is the reaction of sodium isethionate and liquid ammonia to prepare sodium taurine. In the initial research, since no catalyst was added, harsh conditions of high temperature of 200-280°C and high pressure of 14-21MPa were required. Reaction conditions, which have resulted in high energy consumption in the reaction process and higher production costs
[0006] Chinese patent CN105732440A discloses that in the ammonolysis reaction process containing mother liquor, alkali metal hydroxides, alkali metal carbonates (including acid carbonates), iron series / aluminum series metal salts, NiO / CeO can be added 2 , rare earth oxides or any combination thereof as a catalyst, the yield of sodium taurate can be increased to 90-95%, but the reaction still requires a high temperature of 255-265°C and a pressure of 19-20MPa, and the conditions are still relatively harsh
[0009] In summary, the ammonolysis reaction conditions of the current taurine preparation process are still relatively harsh, and the mother liquor cannot be completely applied in the process of mechanical application due to the addition reaction to produce ethylene glycol and other by-products. Therefore, the process conditions need to be improved. Reduce energy consumption in the production process, reduce production costs, increase the amount of mother liquor, and increase the yield of taurine products

Abstract

The invention provides a method for preparing taurine. The method comprises the following steps: carrying out an addition reaction on ethylene oxide and sodium hydrogen sulfite in the presence of a heterogeneous catalyst so as to obtain sodium hydroxyethyl sulfonate at high selectivity; carrying out an ammonolysis reaction on the synthesized sodium hydroxyethyl sulfonate under catalysis of a homogeneous catalyst; and neutralizing, crystallizing, separating and the like, thereby obtaining the finished taurine. Compared with the traditional production process, the process disclosed by the invention has the advantages that by-products in the addition reaction process can be obviously reduced, the temperature and pressure of the ammonolysis reaction are reduced, the reaction time is shortened,and industrial production is easily realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing taurine. Background technique [0002] Taurine, also known as taurocholic acid, taurobilin, and chemical name 2-aminoethanesulfonic acid, is an essential non-protein amino acid that exists in almost all organs of humans and mammals in free form. The role of taurine is different from that of other amino acids. It can promote the growth and development of the nervous system, protect the brain, improve memory, and improve optic nerve conduction and visual function. It can also protect the heart, prevent and treat cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and other important diseases. Features. Taurine has high medicinal value and is an important nutrient. It is widely used in functional beverages, pet food, health food, feed, medicine and other fields. It can also be used as biochemical reagents and other organic synthesis intermediates. A fine chemical with wide application value. [0003] [0004] ...
