Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a method and a device for recovering and refining high-purity acetonitrile in polypeptide synthesis, belonging to the field of high-purity solvent recovery. Background Art

[0002] Peptides generally refer to compounds composed of less than one hundred amino acids spliced ​​together through peptide bonds. As drugs, they have the advantages of strong activity, good specificity, and strong penetration. They have significant therapeutic effects in the treatment of tumors, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, immune diseases, and antiviral and antibacterial effects. With the increasing maturity of peptide synthesis technology, more and more peptide drugs have begun to be put into actual production. Among them, as a purification solvent for peptide products, the demand for high-purity acetonitrile is also increasing. The acetonitrile mother liquor is separated and refined to obtain high-quality indicators of high-purity acetonitrile, which is then recycled as a purification solvent, which can significantly reduce the production of finished products and environmental protection costs. In the production process, acetonitrile is inevitably mixed with water and other impurities, generating a large amount of acetonitrile waste liquid. Acetonitrile will form an azeotrope with water (the water content of the acetonitrile-water azeotrope under normal pressure is about 16 wt.%). The conventional distillation method cannot directly separate and purify the acetonitrile waste liquid into a high-purity acetonitrile solvent that can be reused (content ≥99.9%, water ≤0.05wt.%, 200nm ≥90%, 210nm ≥94%, 220nm ≥96%, 240nm ≥98%, 250nm ≥99%). At the same time, if only conventional processes (extractive distillation, pressure swing distillation or membrane dehydration technology) are used, the acetonitrile waste liquid can only be recovered into industrial-grade acetonitrile with good quality, which cannot meet the requirements of recycling in production. As a purification solvent, the quality of high-purity recovered acetonitrile has a decisive influence on the quality of polypeptide products.

[0003] The existing technology for preparing high-purity acetonitrile includes one or more of oxidation, adsorption, drying and distillation processes. For example, Chinese patent CN104058994A "High-purity acetonitrile and its preparation method and device" describes that industrial acetonitrile is subjected to adsorption, oxidation and distillation to obtain high-purity acetonitrile; Chinese patent CN104072388A "A method for preparing gradient-grade high-purity acetonitrile" describes that industrial acetonitrile is subjected to adsorption, drying and distillation to obtain high-purity acetonitrile. The raw materials for preparing high-purity acetonitrile are limited to qualified industrial-grade acetonitrile on the market, the preparation cost is high, and the range of raw material sources is narrow. In addition, Chinese patents CN107382775A "Method for Recovering Acetonitrile-Containing Waste Liquid Produced by Chemical Synthesis Drugs" and CN107445863A "Method for Recovering Acetonitrile-Containing Waste Liquid Produced by Biopharmaceuticals" describe the recovery of high-purity acetonitrile through neutralization, dichloromethane extraction, fractionation, rectification and other steps, which can meet the requirements for acetonitrile application in chemical synthesis drugs or biopharmaceuticals. However, the process requires the use of dichloromethane as an extractant during implementation, which has the following problems: adding dichloromethane as the third component may cause trace amounts of dichloromethane to exist in acetonitrile; light components such as methanol and acetone in acetonitrile waste liquid will be enriched in dichloromethane, and it is difficult to completely separate light components such as acetone and methanol from dichloromethane, which affects the extraction efficiency after long-term operation; a large amount of dichloromethane volatilizes, leading to VOC emission problems.

The percentages described in the present invention refer to weight percentages unless otherwise specified.

[0055] The "one embodiment", "another embodiment", "implementation method" and the like mentioned in this specification refer to the specific features, structures described in conjunction with the embodiment or included in at least one embodiment generally described in this application. The same expression appearing in multiple places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. Furthermore, when a specific feature, structure or characteristic is described in conjunction with any embodiment, it is claimed that the realization of such feature, structure or characteristic in conjunction with other embodiments also falls within the scope of protection of this application.

[0056] The crude polypeptide is purified by a high performance liquid phase system, specifically using an HPLC preparative column as an adsorption carrier, and high-purity acetonitrile and high-purity water as a separation system. The crude polypeptide is eluted at a certain flow rate and gradient. The composition of the acetonitrile mother liquor produced at this time is: acetonitrile dry purity 85-99%, water content 40-95wt.%.

[0057] The indicators for recovered acetonitrile are 200nm≥90%, 210nm≥94%, 220nm≥96%, 240nm≥98%, 250nm≥99%, acetonitrile content≥99.9%, water content≤0.05wt.%.

[0058] The preparation process of high-purity acetonitrile of the present invention is as follows:

[0059] Step 1: transport the acetonitrile waste liquid generated in the peptide synthesis to a conditioning tank to adjust the pH; the purpose of this step is to adjust the pH of the acetonitrile waste liquid to neutral to reduce the impact on subsequent processes; here, it can be mainly achieved by adding alkaline substances, and the added conditioning solution can be one or more of sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, and sodium bicarbonate solution. The end point pH of the conditioning is 6 to 9. The acetonitrile mother liquor entering the conditioning tank in the first step has a water content of 40 to 95 wt.%, a pH range of 1 to 4, and other organic impurities include one or more of methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, acetone, ethyl acetate, trifluoroacetic acid, amino acids, and ammonia. The content of organic impurities accounts for 1 to 15% of the total amount of organic matter.

[0060] Step 2: The neutralized acetonitrile waste liquid in step 1 is transported to a first distillation tower for distillation and concentration; the purpose of the first distillation is to remove a portion of heavy components in the acetonitrile waste liquid, such as amino acids, by-products generated by the reaction, and excess water, which can improve the purity of the recovered acetonitrile on the one hand, and remove a portion of water on the other hand, reducing the workload of the pervaporation membrane;

[0061] In the third step, the acetonitrile distillate obtained in the second step is fed as a feed to a pervaporation membrane separation unit for separation to obtain crude acetonitrile. Water and a small amount of acetonitrile in the solution on the feed liquid side pass through the pervaporation membrane in the form of steam to obtain a permeate. The permeate is condensed and returned to the conditioning tank to recover the acetonitrile therein again. The purpose of pervaporation is to concentrate the recovered acetonitrile. Due to the subsequent oxidation treatment, when the system contains more water, it is easy to cause a low concentration, which affects the oxidation efficiency and causes the acetonitrile recovered to be of low purity. In addition, the present invention uses a pervaporation membrane separation unit for dehydration, which is not limited by azeotropic factors, has a simple process, a high safety factor, does not introduce a third component, and reduces unnecessary impurity residues. In the third step, the water content of the low-water-content acetonitrile is controlled at 0.05-5 wt.%, and the optimal is 0.5-1.5 wt.%; the feed liquid side pressure is 0.1-0.3 MPa (gauge pressure), and the permeate side pressure is controlled at 1000-3000 Pa. The acetonitrile distillate vapor is further superheated to 70-180°C and then sent to the pervaporation membrane separation unit. The pervaporation unit uses a NaA molecular sieve membrane.

[0062] Step 4: The crude acetonitrile obtained in step 3 is sent to an oxidation tank for oxidation. After the oxidation, the acetonitrile oxidation liquid is sent to an adsorption tower for adsorption and impurity removal. The acetonitrile desorption liquid generated during the adsorption process is returned to the third distillation tower to recover the acetonitrile therein. The purpose of this step is to oxidize some components in the acetonitrile into small molecules, such as amino acid residues. Since the present invention is to treat acetonitrile waste liquid in polypeptide synthesis, the amino acid residues, synthetic by-products and decomposition products contained in the eluent are not easy to be separated from the acetonitrile, which affects the recovery quality. Since the amino acid is oxidized and deaminated to keto acid, it can continue to be oxidized, and the products are carbon dioxide and water. The decarboxylation product of the amino acid is an organic amine, which can also continue to be oxidized, and the products are ammonia and carbon dioxide. After being effectively decomposed into small molecules, it is more suitable for the adsorption range of the 4A molecular sieve (its adsorption range is adsorption of water, methanol, ethanol, hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, ethylene, and propylene), so that the oxidation and adsorption operations cooperate with each other, thereby improving the recovery purity of acetonitrile. The oxidant required for oxidation in the fifth step can be a metal inorganic salt, such as potassium permanganate, potassium dichromate, silver nitrate, etc.; it can also be an inorganic acid, such as concentrated sulfuric acid, fuming sulfuric acid, concentrated nitric acid, etc.; it can also be a peroxide, such as sodium peroxide, hydrogen peroxide, etc.; preferably, it can be a mixture of two or three of them, such as concentrated sulfuric acid and potassium permanganate, concentrated sulfuric acid, sodium peroxide and potassium permanganate; in the adsorption process, some small molecular impurities that are easily adsorbed are removed by the adsorbent; in the fifth step, the adsorbent uses 3A molecular sieve, 4A molecular sieve, 13X molecular sieve, coal-based activated carbon, coconut shell activated carbon, carbon fiber, preferably two or three of them are mixed. The ratio of the height to the inner diameter of the adsorption column is 100:3, and the column loading is 70% to 90% of the column height; if the transmittance of the crude acetonitrile before entering the oxidation tank at a wavelength of 200nm is ≥70%, the oxidation section can be skipped and the adsorption tower can be directly entered for adsorption. As an improvement, the acetonitrile desorption liquid produced in the adsorption process in the fifth step needs to be returned to the third distillation tower to recover the acetonitrile therein; the present invention also provides the use of the above-mentioned adsorbent in the process of adsorption and impurity removal of crude acetonitrile.

[0063] In step 5, the acetonitrile obtained after adsorption in step 4 is sent to the second distillation tower for refining to obtain the finished acetonitrile, and the fore fraction distilled from the second distillation tower and the refined acetonitrile kettle liquid are returned to the third distillation tower to recycle the acetonitrile therein. Preferably, the ultraviolet transmittance index of the qualified acetonitrile fraction in step 5 is 200nm≥90%, 210nm≥94%, 220nm≥96%, 240nm≥98%, 250nm≥99%, acetonitrile content≥99.9%, and water content≤0.05wt.%. In step 5, the fore fraction and kettle liquid of the second distillation tower need to be returned to the third distillation tower in step 3 to recycle the acetonitrile therein.

[0064] In one embodiment, the dehydrated low-water acetonitrile obtained in step 3 is sent to the third distillation tower for further impurity removal to obtain a crude acetonitrile, wherein the light-removed liquid obtained by distillation can be returned to the third distillation tower and the acetonitrile therein can be recovered again to enrich the impurities and improve the acetonitrile yield; this step is to purify the acetonitrile by means of segmented distillation, first distilling out the low-boiling impurities, then distilling out the acetonitrile, and finally leaving the heavy component impurities in the bottom liquid of the kettle. The light-removed liquid extracted from the third distillation tower needs to be returned to the third distillation tower for distillation again to enrich the impurities in the light-removed liquid, and after the secondary light-removed liquid is treated again, the purity of acetonitrile needs to be ≤70% when the waste liquid is discharged for treatment; the third distillation tower adopts intermittent operation, the operating pressure is -70~50kPa(G), the acetonitrile distillate is extracted in stages, and the qualified fraction is collected, and the reflux ratio is controlled at 5~10, and the optimal is 7. The qualified fractions collected had a transmittance of ≥50% at a wavelength of 200-220 nm, an acetonitrile purity of ≥99%, and a water content of 0.02-0.1 wt.%;

[0065] In addition, since the present invention processes acetonitrile, the eluent in peptide synthesis, acetonitrile containing trifluoroacetic acid is usually used as the eluent. In order to eliminate the influence of trifluoroacetic acid on the separation factor of acetonitrile / water of the pervaporation membrane, the acetonitrile distillate obtained by the first distillation can be adsorbed using a sepiolite adsorbent modified with a surface sulfonic acid group. The preparation method of the sepiolite adsorbent modified with a surface sulfonic acid group used here is mainly to first graft a mercaptosilane coupling agent onto the surface of the sepiolite, and then convert the mercapto group into a sulfonic acid group by oxidation. After the adsorption treatment, the separation factor of the pervaporation membrane for acetonitrile / water in the treatment of acetonitrile liquid can be effectively improved. The present invention also provides the use of the above-mentioned adsorbent in the process of adsorption and impurity removal of acetonitrile distillate.

[0104]

[0105] As can be seen from the above table, the acetonitrile obtained by the present invention has a very high purity. From the comparison between Example 1 and Example 5, it can be seen that for acetonitrile waste liquid in polypeptide synthesis, if the purity requirements meet the regulations, the oxidation process can be omitted. In order to make the purity higher, adding an oxidation step can improve the purity; from the comparison between Example 1 and Example 6, it can be seen that for some acetonitrile waste liquid in polypeptide synthesis, it can also be directly entered into the oxidation process without distillation and dehydration after pervaporation dehydration, and acetonitrile of a certain purity can be obtained after subsequent steps, but the purity of the final product acetonitrile can be improved after dehydration; from the comparison between Example 1 and Reference Example 1, it can be seen that after the pervaporation treatment in the present invention, the concentration in acetonitrile can be effectively increased, which can be more conducive to the treatment effect of the oxidant in the oxidation process and improve the purity of the product. From the comparison between Example 1 and Reference Example 2, it can be seen that the use of oxidation to treat the polypeptide acetonitrile eluate can effectively decompose the amino acids therein into small molecular substances, which is conducive to molecular sieve adsorption and improves the purity of the product. By comparing Example 1 with Examples 3 and 4, it can be seen that the treatment with sulfonic acid-modified sepiolite can effectively remove the components in the first distillation and prevent them from affecting the separation factor in the pervaporation operation process.
