Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of inorganic phosphorus chemical industry, and particularly relates to a method for preparing phosphorous acid crystals by a one-step method from yellow phosphorus and phosphorous acid crystals. Background Art

[0002] Phosphorous acid (H3PO3) is a fine phosphorus chemical product with great market prospects, mainly used for the preparation of phosphites, phosphite esters, glyphosate pesticides, etc., and is also widely used in the production of chemical products such as industrial water treatment agents, polymer stabilizer intermediates, flame retardants, pharmaceuticals, and corrosion and scale inhibitors. At present, the mainstream process for industrial production of phosphorous acid is the hydrolysis method of phosphorus trichloride, that is, phosphorus trichloride reacts with water to generate phosphorous acid and by-product hydrochloric acid (PCl3 + 3H2O → H3PO3 + 3HCl). Since phosphorus trichloride comes from the chlorination of yellow phosphorus (2P + 3Cl2 = 2PCl3), it is actually a two-step process for preparing phosphorous acid from yellow phosphorus. However, this method has many disadvantages: firstly, both reactions are strongly exothermic reactions, the process is dangerous, and the operation needs to be strictly regulated; secondly, this process is a chlorine-containing process, and the presence of chlorine and hydrochloric acid leads to a harsh on-site environment and serious equipment corrosion; in addition, the atom economy is poor, chlorine is only used for synthesis requirements, and finally it is discharged in the form of hydrochloric acid, making it difficult to balance and utilize.

[0003] To solve the above problems, a patent (ZL202110453239.4) has proposed a method for preparing phosphorous acid by a one-step method from yellow phosphorus. This method uses hydrogen peroxide as an oxidant and has the advantages of a short process, chlorine-free environmental protection, and good atom economy. However, the obtained phosphorous acid aqueous solution has a complex composition, containing impurities such as phosphorous acid, phosphoric acid, hypophosphorous acid, and catalyst elemental iodine, and it is difficult to obtain phosphorous acid crystals by conventional crystallization methods. Usually, it is necessary to neutralize with an alkali to form phosphite and then crystallize.

[0004] However, if the phosphorous acid solution can be directly crystallized into phosphorous acid crystals for sale as a solid product, compared with liquid products, it is beneficial to save packaging and transportation costs and also beneficial to meet the needs of the downstream market. Therefore, developing a method that can directly crystallize phosphorous acid crystals from the phosphorous acid aqueous solution prepared by the one-step method of yellow phosphorus has important industrial application value and market prospects. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing phosphorous acid crystals by a one-step method from yellow phosphorus and phosphorous acid crystals, which solves the problem that it is difficult to obtain phosphorous acid crystals by conventional crystallization methods in the existing one-step method for preparing phosphorous acid from yellow phosphorus.

[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides a method for preparing phosphorous acid crystals by a one-step method from yellow phosphorus, including the following steps:

[0007] S1. Dissolve the dispersant in water and heat it up. Add yellow phosphorus. After the yellow phosphorus melts, start stirring and ultrasonic treatment, and maintain the stirring rate, ultrasonic frequency and temperature. Then add a catalyst to the solution, dropwise add an oxidant, and continue the reaction to obtain a yellow transparent aqueous solution, that is, obtain an aqueous solution of phosphorous acid;

[0008] S2. Cool the aqueous solution of phosphorous acid to room temperature and then filter it, and concentrate it under normal pressure to obtain a concentrated solution of phosphorous acid;

[0009] S3. Ultrasonic the concentrated solution of phosphorous acid and then cool it to room temperature. Sprinkle in the phosphorous acid crystal seeds, and seal and place it in a set temperature for crystallization. After taking it out, filter it to obtain crystals;

[0010] S4. Wash the obtained crystals with atomized water, and then place them in a vacuum drying oven for drying to obtain phosphorous acid crystals.

[0011] Preferably, in the step S1, the dispersant is one or more of PEG400, alkyl glycoside, sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate, carboxymethyl cellulose, cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide. The dispersant is preferably cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide.

[0012] Preferably, in the step S1, the catalyst is elemental iodine or hydroiodic acid, and the oxidant is hydrogen peroxide.

[0013] Preferably, in the step S1

[0014] The mass ratio of the dispersant to yellow phosphorus is 0.05 - 0.2:1;

[0015] The mass ratio of water to yellow phosphorus is 8 - 12:1;

[0016] The mass ratio of the catalyst to yellow phosphorus is 0.001 - 0.003:1;

[0017] The mass ratio of the oxidant to yellow phosphorus is 5.5 - 6.6:1.

[0018] Preferably, in the step S1, the stirring rate is 300 - 400 rpm, the ultrasonic frequency is 20 - 40 KHz, the temperature is 55 - 70 °C, the oxidant is dropped within 1 - 1.5 h, and the reaction continues for 0.5 - 1 h.

[0019] Preferably, in the step S2, the temperature for concentration under normal pressure is 90 - 95 °C.

[0020] Preferably, in the step S3, the ultrasonic time is 15 - 45 min, the addition amount of the phosphorous acid crystal seeds is 0.5 - 1.5% of the concentrated solution of phosphorous acid, the crystallization time is 2 - 6 h, and the set temperature is -5 - -20 °C.

[0021] Preferably, in step S4, the number of times of atomized water washing is two, the vacuum degree is 0.08 - 0.09 MPa, and the drying temperature is 60 - 70 °C.

[0022] A phosphorous acid crystal is prepared by using the method for preparing a phosphorous acid crystal by the one-step yellow phosphorus method described above.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following advantages:

[0024] 1. By adding a dispersant and controlling other reaction conditions, the present invention solves the problems of uneven dispersion caused by the insolubility of yellow phosphorus in water, small contact area between yellow phosphorus and the oxidant, and low reaction rate, in order to improve the conversion efficiency of yellow phosphorus in the liquid-phase reaction system, eliminate the by-product of hypophosphorous acid, and make the phosphorous acid aqueous solution obtained contain only the by-product of phosphoric acid, creating favorable conditions for the subsequent separation of phosphorous acid. It has been proved by experiments that a small amount of hypophosphorous acid will interfere with the crystallization of phosphorous acid to varying degrees.

[0025] 2. The present invention preferably uses cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as the yellow phosphorus dispersant. The long-chain alkyl group and Br- in the CTAB molecule have a synergistic effect on the adsorption of iodine, so that CTAB has a strong adsorption capacity for iodine. It will form a yellow complex with elemental iodine. After the reaction is completed, the CTAB adsorbed with elemental iodine spontaneously precipitates from the obtained phosphorous acid aqueous solution, and the yellow phosphorus dispersant CTAB and the catalyst I2 are cleverly separated by simple filtration. In this way, the composition of the obtained phosphorous acid aqueous solution is greatly simplified to mainly phosphorous acid, phosphoric acid and water, which greatly improves the crystallization rate and shortens the crystallization time.

[0026] 3. When other yellow phosphorus dispersants are selected in the present invention, although they will not precipitate and remain in the reaction solution, their crystallization time is relatively long, but they can be removed together with phosphoric acid by subsequent atomized water washing of the crystals. The washing process is less difficult than that of other dispersants, and a large amount of phosphorous acid will not be lost due to a large number of washing times.

[0027] 4. The present invention adopts a crystallization method, which can reduce the content of phosphoric acid impurities in phosphorous acid crystals to less than 0.6%, meeting the requirements of qualified product indicators. The current industry standard for phosphorous acid (HG / T 2520-2023) stipulates that the content of phosphoric acid impurities should not be higher than 0.6%, which is formulated based on the phosphorous acid obtained by the hydrolysis process of phosphorus trichloride. Since the content of phosphoric acid impurities in the phosphorous acid obtained by the hydrolysis process of phosphorus trichloride is extremely low, it is not difficult to meet the requirement of not being higher than 0.6%. In the process of preparing phosphorous acid by the one-step method of yellow phosphorus in the present invention, the content of phosphoric acid impurities reaches about 10% of phosphorous acid, and it is generally difficult to reduce it to the required index by ordinary crystallization. Ultrasonic waves are added during the crystallization process, so that phosphoric acid is highly dispersed, thereby reducing its viscosity. When phosphorous acid crystallizes, the phosphoric acid attached to the surface of phosphorous acid crystals is greatly reduced, thus avoiding negative impacts on crystal precipitation. In the subsequent process, it is further washed with atomized water, and finally the content of phosphoric acid impurities attached to phosphorous acid crystals is further reduced; since other impurities are all lower than 0.01%, therefore, the content of phosphoric acid impurities in the phosphorous acid prepared by the present invention is not higher than 0.6%.
