The invention relates to a process and a device for producing
glycine by an
alcohol phase method. The main process comprises the following steps: taking
methanol as a
solvent, urotropin as a catalystand liquid or
solid chloroacetic acid as an initial
raw material, firstly introducing
ammonia to produce a
mixed crystal of
glycine and
ammonium chloride, centrifuging to obtain a
mixed crystal, repeatedly applying the filtrate to synthesis of the
mixed crystal, dissolving the mixed
crystal by using pure water, extracting a
glycine product by using
methanol; enabling filtrate after glycine is centrifuged out to enter a rectifying
tower to recover
methanol, enabling rectified residual liquid to enter a film
evaporator, concentrating the rectified residual liquid until water is completely evaporated to directly obtain an
ammonium chloride byproduct, and repeatedly using water evaporated from the film
evaporator to dissolve mixed crystals. The process mainly uses a
glycine synthesis kettle, aglycine extraction kettle, a mixed
crystal filtrate elevated tank, a centrifugal
machine, a mixed
crystal filtrate receiving tank, a
chloroacetic acid dissolving kettle, a methanol rectifying
tower,a film
evaporator, and the like. According to the method, the unit consumption levels of urotropin,
liquid ammonia, and steam can be greatly reduced, the production cost is further reduced, and no
wastewater is generated.
