Problems solved by technology

[0003] Alkaline hydrolysis of chloroacetic acid produces glycolic acid and sodium chloride. This process requires concentration and esterification to remove most of the sodium chloride, and then ion membrane electrodialysis to remove residual sodium chloride. This process requires large investment and raw material costs. High and consumes a lot of electricity, and the final product still has chloride and sodium ions
[0004] Ethylene glycol reacts with air in the presence of a catalyst to form ethyl alde

Embodiment 1

[0038] Add 80 milliliters of water and 210 grams of 98% sulfuric acid earlier in the 1000 milliliter flask equipped with stirring thermometer, dropping funnel and reflux distillation condenser, heat with oil bath, add dropwise 228 grams of 50% hydroxyacetonitrile aqueous solution under stirring, Keep the temperature at 120°C for hydrolysis reaction for 5 hours, distill off 100 grams of aqueous solution, then add methanol for esterification reaction under reflux conditions and distill out the mixture of reaction product methanol, water, and methyl glycolate, and esterify with methanol, which The esterification process is carried out in three times by normal pressure and reduced pressure distillation. The amount of methanol added is 250 grams, 130 grams and 80 grams respectively. The time of esterification reaction is 5 hours, 3 hours and 1 hour respectively. Put the evaporated mixture and 250 grams of distilled water in a 1000 ml flask equipped with a stirring thermometer, a rec...

Embodiment 2

[0040] In a 200-liter glass-lined reaction kettle with a stirrer, a thermometer, a reflux pipe, a distillation pipe and a drip feeding pipe, first add 16 kilograms of water and 40 kilograms of 98% sulfuric acid to heat with steam, and gradually add 50% of hydroxyacetonitrile. The aqueous solution was 45.6 kg, the reaction temperature was maintained at 115-120°C, the hydrolysis reaction was carried out for 6 hours, and 19.5 kg of the aqueous solution was distilled off under reduced pressure. According to the conditions of Example 1, methanol was added three times for esterification, and the reaction product was distilled off under normal pressure and reduced pressure. The amount of methanol added three times was 48 kg, 25 kg, and 25 kg respectively. Collect the distilled aqueous solution and the distilled mixture after esterification and 50 kg of distilled water in the same reaction kettle as in this example, heat and stir with steam for 4 hours for hydrolysis, keep the temperat...
