The invention relates to a preparation method of 4, 5-diaminobenzene-1, 3 disulfonic acid, which comprises the following steps: a, adding concentrated
sulfuric acid into a container provided with a
thermometer and a stirring device, controlling the temperature and slowly adding o-phenylenediamine to obtain a
sulfuric acid solution of o-phenylenediamine; b, slowly dropwise adding fuming
sulfuric acid into the sulfuric acid solution of o-phenylenediamine in the step a, carrying out heat preservation reaction, and cooling; c, pouring the product in the step b into an ice-water mixture, adding
activated carbon, stirring, and filtering to remove the
activated carbon to obtain a
diluent; d, carrying out reduced pressure
distillation, concentration and cooling on the
diluent; e, cooling, stirring, filtering and taking a
solid to obtain a 4, 5-diaminobenzene-1, 3 disulfonic acid crude product; and f, adding the crude product into an
organic solvent, pulping, washing acid, stirring, filtering to obtain a
solid, and
drying to obtain the 4, 5-diaminobenzene-1, 3-disulfonic acid. The method has the advantages of mild
reaction conditions, normal pressure reaction, high yield, easily available raw materials and simple process, can be directly obtained by one-step sulfonation, and is suitable for industrial production.
