[0030] S05: then cooling and crystallizing, and separating the glyphosate mother liquor to obtain glyphosate technical when the temperature is lower than 40℃, at this time, the content of glyphosate in the separated mother liquor is reduced to below 1.5%, so that the recovery rate of glyphosate technical from the mother liquor is greatly improved, the glyphosate mother liquor is greatly reduced, the efficiency is improved, and cost savings are realized in the harmless treatment of the mother liquor in the subsequent process.
[0031] In the application, in step S03, the controlled temperature can be 30℃, 32℃, 34℃, 36℃, 38℃, 40℃, and of course can also be a range value with any of the above values as the upper limit or lower limit.
[0032] In the application, in step S04, the mass concentration of sodium chloride salt in the hydrolysis solution after the hydrolysis reaction is completed can be 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, and of course can also be a range value with any of the above values as the upper limit or lower limit.
[0033] Specifically, in step S02, the hydrogen ion concentration in the glyphosate mother liquor after absorbing the hydrochloric acid tail gas reaches 0.8 mol / L or more, and then the glyphosate mother liquor is fully mixed with hydrochloric acid and stored for later use.
[0034] Specifically, in step S03, the condensation liquid is derived from the process of producing glyphosate by the glycine method; that is, the condensation liquid is generated by reacting methanol, triethylamine, glycine, dimethyl phosphite, and paraformaldehyde.
[0035] Specifically, in step S03, the mass ratio of the mixed liquid to the condensation liquid is (3-5):(6-8); in the present application, the mixed liquid can be specifically 3, 4, or 5 parts by mass, and of course can also be a range value with any of the above values as the upper limit or lower limit, and the condensation liquid can be specifically 6, 7, or 8 parts by mass, and of course can also be a range value with any of the above values as the upper limit or lower limit, and most preferably, the mass ratio of the mixed liquid to the condensation liquid is 4:7.
[0036] Specifically, in step S04, the temperature of hydrolysis is 100-130°C, and can be specifically 100°C, 110°C, 120°C, or 130°C, and of course can also be a range value with any of the above values as the upper limit or lower limit; most preferably, the temperature of hydrolysis is 117-120°C.
[0037] Specifically, in step S05, the cooling crystallization time is 8-12 h, and can be specifically 8, 9, 10, 11, or 12 h, and of course can also be a range value with any of the above values as the upper limit or lower limit.
[0038] Specifically, in step S02, the hydrochloric acid can be 30% hydrochloric acid.
[0039] Specifically, in step S02, the mass ratio of the glyphosate mother liquor after absorbing the hydrochloric acid tail gas to hydrochloric acid can be 1:(1-4); in the present application, the glyphosate mother liquor after absorbing the hydrochloric acid tail gas is 1 part by mass, and the hydrochloric acid can be 1, 2, 3, or 4 parts by mass, and of course can also be a range value with any of the above values as the upper limit or lower limit.
[0040] In the present application, glyphosate mother liquor is used as an absorbent for hydrochloric acid gas, replacing the traditional process of using soft water as an absorbent, greatly reducing the amount of soft water entering the system, directly reducing the amount of mother liquor harmless treatment in the subsequent process; and thereby achieving cost savings;
[0041] In the method of the present application, the prepared glyphosate mother liquor and hydrochloric acid mixed solution replaces the traditional process mother liquor directly into the hydrolysis for production, which has disadvantages. For example, the direct entry of the mother liquor into the hydrolysis will cause uneven material concentration for a period of time, which directly affects the first yield of glyphosate. At the same time, the direct entry into the hydrolysis will cause the fluctuation of the hydrolysis temperature index, which will affect the quality and yield of glyphosate. The method of the present application adopts a plurality of means such as glyphosate mother liquor tail gas absorption, acid mixing, condensation liquid acidification, and stirring cooling to keep the reaction liquid in a homogeneous state and does not cause the influence of temperature control and concentration in the hydrolysis process, which fully guarantees the reaction conditions.
[0042] In step S03, the prepared condensation liquid mixed acid liquid is cooled before entering the hydrolysis, which avoids the rapid temperature rise of the mixed acid liquid entering the hydrolysis kettle directly, causing a large amount of methanol and methylal in the mixed acid liquid to volatilize, avoiding the boiling overflow of the hydrolysis kettle, causing the material to enter the gas phase and unable to generate glyphosate, which affects the yield;
[0043] In the present application, the glyphosate mother liquor recycling production system does not need to be desalted compared with the traditional process, and the hydrochloric acid tail gas is directly mixed with hydrochloric acid, which realizes the recycling of glyphosate TC in the glyphosate mother liquor, saves the desalting operation process required in the original process, and saves the process cost, energy consumption cost, equipment investment and depreciation cost;
[0044] In addition, in the present application, the mass concentration of sodium chloride salt in the hydrolysis liquid is 5%-8%, which is always greater than the sodium chloride salt concentration under the original process conditions. Since the solubility of the salt is always greater than that of glyphosate, the water in the crystallization liquid will preferentially dissolve the sodium chloride salt, so the corresponding water used to dissolve glyphosate is occupied, so the crystallization section will be more conducive to the crystallization of glyphosate, and indirectly realizes the increase of the yield of glyphosate.
