Abstract

This invention involves an industrial scale preparation method for hydroxyacetonitrile by using acrylonitrile production byproduct hydrocyanic acid through a synthesis reaction with acetonitrile at the presence of catalyst. The method is characterized by (1) taking acrylonitrile production byproduct hydrocyanic acid as the raw material with content of 95% or above, (2) controlling a molar ratio of hydrocyanic acid : formaldehyde : catalyst at 1 : 1.0~1.5 : 0.001~ 0.015, (3) adding catalyst in formaldehyde while stirring, adding hydrocyanic acid at 0-20DEG C, and reacting at 0~40DEG C for 1~6 h, and (4) adjusting pH of 6 or below with inorganic acid to obtain hydroxyacetonitrile. The invention has the advantages of low cost, product content of 50% or above, simplified aftertreatment, no wastes discharge, and product with formaldehyde and hydrocyanic acid content less than 0.05%. Hydroxyacetonitrile can be used as the intermediates of glycin, malononitrile, and indigo dye to solve transport inconvenience of hydrocyanic acid and geographical limitation of production.
