Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a method for synthesizing glycine based on block foam silver electrocatalysis and a separation and purification method thereof, belonging to the technical field of chemical industry. Background Art
[0002] Glycine is a vital component of protein synthesis and energy metabolism, and plays a vital role in the body's antioxidant, muscle repair, and detoxification processes. my country's demand for high-quality glycine, including food-grade, feed-grade, and medical-grade products, is growing. However, my country's current production capacity cannot fully meet this demand, and significant imports are still required. From an industrial perspective, over the past few decades, glycine has been primarily produced in my country through methods such as the Streeck process, the Hein process, the chloroacetic acid amination process, and the aminocapronitrile alkaline hydrolysis process. The Streeck process uses hydrocyanic acid as a raw material. While large-scale production is possible, its highly toxic raw material and difficult product purification pose significant challenges in ensuring safe production and obtaining high-purity glycine. The chloroacetic acid process is the most commonly used method for glycine production in my country. While it offers the advantage of a simple synthesis process, its high purification costs result in significant cost penalties for industrial production. While the direct Hein process can produce relatively pure glycine, the difficult storage of the raw material and the harsh reaction conditions mean that its industrial production is still in the exploratory stage. The aminocapronitrile alkaline hydrolysis method is rarely used industrially due to its high equipment requirements and difficulty in purification.
[0003] In contrast, electrocatalytic synthesis of glycine has emerged as a promising alternative due to its high efficiency, environmental friendliness, and high product yield. Electrocatalytic synthesis of glycine utilizes low-cost and renewable biomass derivatives, such as α-keto acids (such as glyoxylic acid), coupled with a nitrogen source for further reduction and hydrogenation to produce glycine. Currently, limited research has been reported in this area, and existing work has suffered from low catalytic efficiency, low glycine formation rate, low product yield, and low purity. Finding efficient catalysts to improve the efficiency and yield of green electrocatalytic glycine synthesis, as well as exploring and optimizing glycine product separation and purification technologies, are crucial for promoting the development of the glycine industry.

[0053] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
[0054] In the examples, sulfuric acid (H2SO4, Chinese medicine, 95.0% to 98.0%), hydroxylamine sulfate (2NH2OH·H2SO4, Macklin, 99.0%), glyoxylic acid (C2H2O3·H2O Macklin, 98%), ammonia water (NH3OH, Macklin, 3% NH3 inH2O), sodium cation exchange resin (Amberlite HNC-120Na form, Bidepharm), silver nitrate (AgNO3, Chinese medicine, 99.8%), glucose (C6H5O5, Macklin, 98%), and melamine resin foam (BASF) are all commercially available products.
[0055] Example 1:
[0056] The preparation steps of bulk ultra-light silver foam are as follows:
[0057] (1) Place 10 mL of 2 wt% silver nitrate solution in a reaction flask. Then, add 2 wt% ammonia solution dropwise to the silver nitrate solution and stir thoroughly. Stop adding the solution when the solution is completely transparent. At this point, the silver nitrate and ammonia solution have completely reacted.
[0058] (2) 2.5 mL of 10 wt% glucose was added to the mixed solution of step (1), and then a 2 cm × 2 cm piece of melamine resin foam was immediately added to the solution. The mixture was incubated in a water bath at 70° C. for 10 minutes. The color of the solution was observed to change from dark turbidity to light turbidity, indicating that silver had grown on the melamine resin foam.
[0059] (3) placing the melamine resin foam with silver nanoparticles grown thereon obtained in step (2) in a clean beaker filled with deionized water, rinsing for 1 minute, and then drying in an oven at 120° C. for 0.5 hour;
[0060] (4) The dried melamine resin foam obtained in step (3) is placed in a muffle furnace and calcined at 700° C. for 10 minutes to remove the melamine resin foam template and obtain a block of ultra-light silver foam.
[0061] Comparative Example 1:
[0062] The same preparation method as described in Example 1, except that:
[0063] In step (2), the water bath temperature is 60°C.
[0064] Other steps were carried out as in Example 1. It was found that when the water bath heating temperature was 60° C., no complete block could be obtained, and only powder could be obtained.
[0065] Test Example 1:
[0066] The optical photograph of the ultralight silver foam prepared in Example 1 is shown in Figure 1 ,pass Figure 1 It can be seen that self-supporting block-shaped ultra-light silver foam was successfully prepared. The silver foam was cut into electrode size and can be directly used as an electrode for electrocatalytic reduction reaction.
[0067] The XRD spectrum of the ultralight silver foam prepared in Example 1 is shown in Figure 2 ,pass Figure 2 It can be seen that ultra-light foam silver with high crystallinity and high purity was successfully prepared, and its crystallinity is excellent.
[0068] The SEM image of the ultralight silver foam prepared in Example 1 is shown in Figure 3 ,pass Figure 3 It can be seen that the microscopic morphology of the silver foam is a network nanowire structure, indicating that the silver foam was originally loaded on the melamine resin foam. After calcination, the silver foam basically follows the network morphology of the original melamine resin foam.
[0069] Example 2:
[0070] The method for synthesizing glycine based on bulk silver foam electrocatalysis is as follows:
[0071] (1) First, a three-electrode system was assembled. The block of ultralight silver foam prepared in Example 1 was cut into electrode size as the working electrode, a saturated calomel electrode was used as the reference electrode, and a Pt sheet electrode was used as the counter electrode. The electrocatalytic reduction amination reaction of glyoxylic acid was carried out in an electrolyte. The electrolyte included a cathode electrolyte and an anode electrolyte. The working electrode and the reference electrode were placed in the cathode electrolyte, and the counter electrode was placed in the anode electrolyte. The cathode electrolyte was a mixture of glyoxylic acid, hydroxylamine sulfate, and sulfuric acid. The molar concentration of glyoxylic acid in the mixture was 0.16 mol / L, the molar concentration of hydroxylamine sulfate was 0.08 mol / L, and the molar concentration of sulfuric acid was 0.2 mol / L. The anode electrolyte was a 0.2 mol / L sulfuric acid solution. The electrolytic cell used was an H-type two-chamber glass electrolytic cell. The cathode chamber and the anode chamber were separated by a Nafion 117 membrane.
[0072] (2) Before the electrocatalytic reductive amination reaction of glyoxylic acid, glyoxylic acid and hydroxylamine were not added to the cathode electrolyte. The electrode was first subjected to 100 cycles of cyclic voltammetry in a 0.2 mol / L sulfuric acid solution at a scan rate of 100 mV s -1, from 0.00 V to -0.45 V (vs. reversible hydrogen electrode E RHE ). Then linear sweep voltammetry was performed, from 0.00 V to 0.45 V (vs. reversible hydrogen electrode E RHE ), with a scan rate of 10 mV s -1 .
[0073] (3) Finally, constant current electrolysis was performed at a current density of -200 mA, and after 2 h, the catholyte was collected, diluted with deuterium water (D2O), and then subjected to 1 H NMR (400 MHz) analysis to detect the yield of glycinic acid, glycinic acid oxime and glycine, and to calculate the conversion rate and the production rate.
[0074] (4) When performing nuclear magnetic quantitative detection of the product, 150 μL of the catholyte was mixed with 450 μL of a D2O solution containing 1.82*10 –5 mol of maleic acid (wherein the maleic acid served as an internal standard), and the above diluted liquid was transferred to a 5 mm NMR tube for testing. After 2 h, the yield of glycine reached 794 μmol h –1 cm –2 . This result shows that the foamed silver electrode has excellent catalytic activity and selectivity for the electrocatalytic reduction amination reaction of glyoxylic acid, and is a high-efficiency catalyst for the electrocatalytic synthesis of glycine.
[0075] Test Example 2:
[0076] The linear sweep voltammetry curve obtained in Example 2 is shown in Figure 4 , and it can be seen from Figure 4 that the current rapidly increased at a potential of -0.09 V, which shows that the foamed silver has excellent catalytic performance for the electrocatalytic reduction amination reaction of glyoxylic acid.
[0077] The two-hour electrolysis graph obtained in Example 2 is shown in Figure 5 , and it can be seen from Figure 5 that the potential did not change significantly within two hours, and was basically maintained at about -0.3 V, which shows that the foamed silver has good stability for the reduction amination reaction of glyoxylic acid.
[0078] The nuclear magnetic resonance hydrogen spectrum of the two-hour product solution of Example 2 is shown in Figure 6 , and it can be seen from Figure 6 that after two hours of constant current electrolysis, the product was basically only glycine, and the content was very high, which shows that the foamed silver has excellent selectivity for the synthesis of glycine.
[0079] Example 3:
[0080] After the reaction of Example 2, high-purity glycine powder was obtained by separating, purifying and freeze-drying the cathode chamber solution, and the specific process was as follows:
[0081] (1) Soak the commercial sodium cation exchange resin in deionized water for 48 hours and wash it repeatedly until the water is clear; then soak it in a 4-5 wt% hydrochloric acid solution for 8 hours, and then wash the sodium cation exchange resin with deionized water until it is neutral; finally, soak the resin in a 4 wt% sodium hydroxide solution for 8 hours, and then wash the sodium cation exchange resin with deionized water until it is neutral.
[0082] (2) Take 10 mL of resin and load 10 mL of sample solution. Soak the resin in the sample solution for 1 hour. At this time, the pH is about 1-2. The amino acids exist in the form of cations and are adsorbed on the resin. The sodium ions are exchanged. Rinse the resin with deionized water 3-5 times to remove inorganic salts. Then elute with ammonia water with a pH of about 10. When the pH is greater than 5.59, glycine is converted into anions and removed from the resin. The eluate can be collected.
[0083] (3) The collected solution was freeze-dried in a freeze dryer at -40 to -60°C for 20-30 hours, and the sample was collected and then dried in an oven at 60°C for 6 hours to obtain glycine powder.
[0084] Test Example 3:
[0085] The XRD spectrum of the purified glycine powder obtained in Example 3 is shown in Figure 7 ,pass Figure 7 It can be seen that sulfuric acid was successfully removed through the ion exchange method, and glycine was obtained with high purity and good crystallinity.
[0086] Comparative Example 2:
[0087] The same preparation method as described in Example 3, except that:
[0088] The resin volume was 5 ml, the product obtained in this comparative example was less, and the purified glycine powder had poor quality, low yield and low yield.
