The invention belongs to the field of the
chemical industry, and relates to a preparation method of large-particle
crystal type high-bulk-density
calcium 2-hydroxy-4-(methylthio)
butyrate. The preparation method of the large-particle
crystal type high-bulk-density
calcium 2-hydroxy-4-(methylthio)
butyrate comprises the following steps that 2-hydroxy-4-(methylthio)
butyric acid, a
calcium compound and a crystallizing agent are arranged in an
aqueous medium, the pH is adjusted to be 5-7, the temperature is 60-80DEG C, stirring and full reactions are carried out, cooling
crystallization is carried out to obtain calcium 2-hydroxy-4-(methylthio)
butyrate crystals, separation is carried out to obtain crystals and coarse product mother liquid, and the crystals serve as calcium 2-hydroxy-4-(methylthio)butyrate coarse products. The calcium compound is one or more of calcium salt,
calcium oxide and
calcium hydroxide, and the use amount of the crystallizing agent is 50ppm-3000ppm of the
mass of the 2-hydroxy-4-(methylthio)
butyric acid. Materials produced through the preparation method of the large-particle
crystal type high-bulk-density calcium 2-hydroxy-4-(methylthio)butyrate are high in purity,
dehydration is easy,
drying is rapid, crystal particles obtained after
drying are large, good in mobility and large in
bulk density, the amount of dust is low, glossiness is high, and the materials are more applicable to
fodder.
