Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of preparation of high-molecular polymers, and discloses a production process for preparing polyaspartic acid based on solid superacid, which comprises the following steps: by taking aspartic acid as a raw material and solid superacid SO4 < 2-> / ZrO2-Al2O3 with the particle size of more than 80 meshes as a catalyst, reacting under a vacuum high-temperature condition to obtain a polymerization product, crushing the polymerization product, screening particles with the particle size of less than 100 meshes to obtain polysuccinimide, and hydrolyzing the polysuccinimide in a sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide aqueous solution to obtain a sodium polyaspartate or potassium polyaspartate aqueous solution; and carrying out filtration or electrodialysis treatment on the sodium polyaspartate or potassium polyaspartate aqueous solution, sterilizing, and drying to obtain the polyaspartic acid. According to the method, solid superacid SO4 < 2-> / ZrO2-Al2O3 is used as the catalyst, so that the water resource consumption is reduced, the process route is simplified, the treatment procedure of washing acidic wastewater is avoided, and the catalytic efficiency is high.
