This invention belongs to the field of oxyacid synthesis technology of
phosphorus, specifically relating to a method for producing
phosphorous acid. The production method includes: (1) adding a
metal precursor, organic ligand, reaction
promoter, structure directing agent and swelling resistant agent to a pore-forming agent and heating to react, to obtain a mixture; then mixing the mixture with a
polymer monomer, crosslinking agent and initiator to obtain an
oil phase for later use; mixing a dispersant with water and removing
oxygen to obtain an aqueous phase for later use; (2) mixing the
oil phase and the aqueous phase to carry out a crosslinking reaction to obtain a crude product; (3) washing, acidifying and
vacuum drying the crude product to obtain a porous
polymer carrier; (4) after the porous
polymer carrier swells in water, adding
phosphorus trichloride to it, carrying out a heat preservation reaction, and post-treatment to obtain
phosphorous acid. This invention improves the production efficiency of
phosphorous acid while ensuring a high yield of phosphorous acid by preparing a porous polymer carrier and using it as a medium for the
hydrolysis of
phosphorus trichloride to prepare phosphorous acid.
