The invention discloses a method for preparing
taurine by adopting sulfonation of
ammonium sulfite. The method comprises the steps of: firstly carrying out
esterification reaction to synthetize an intermediate 2-aminoethanol
sulfate by taking concentrated
sulfuric acid and
ethanolamine as raw materials; carrying out sulfonation reaction to prepare
taurine by taking
ammonium sulfite and 2-aminoethyl
sulfate as the raw materials, wherein
ammonia is introduced to protect before the reaction, the temperature of the reaction solution is reduced after the sulfonation reaction is finished, and the conversion ratio of 2-aminoethyl
sulfate is analyzed by adopting a
sodium thiosulfate inverse
titration method; cooling the reaction solution to
room temperature, adding
calcium hydroxide, heating, agitating and filtering to remove
calcium sulfate, removing
ammonia in
mother liquor and repeatedly utilizing the
mother liquor; then purifying the
taurine by a cooling and crystallizing method to obtain
crystal, carrying out suction
filtration and baking the obtained
crystal, and analyzing the taurine
crystal by a
thermal analysis method. The method disclosed by the invention is an integrated preparation method of combining the synthesis and separation of the taurine. The method is the preparation method of the taurine with simple operating process and mild reaction condition, wherein the primary conversion rate of 2-aminoethyl sulfate can be up to 79% and the
desalination efficiency is 99.12%.
