The invention discloses a method for recovering
triethylamine in a preparation process of bis (fluorosulfonyl)
imide triethylamine salt, which comprises the following steps: (a) taking
sulfuryl fluoride,
ammonia gas and
triethylamine as raw materials, and reacting in an
organic solvent to obtain a reaction solution containing bis (fluorosulfonyl)
imide triethylamine salt and triethylamine hydrofluoride; (b) adding a
phase transfer catalyst and an inorganic alkaline substance, and carrying out heat preservation reaction; (c) filtering to obtain
solid fluoride salt and filtrate; and (d) carrying out
vacuum evaporation concentration on the filtrate to obtain a concentrate and a triethylamine-containing recovered
solvent, and using the triethylamine-containing recovered
solvent for the next batch of reaction. According to the method, under the action of the
phase transfer catalyst, the added inorganic alkaline substance reacts with the triethylamine hydrofluoride to generate the
solid fluoride salt and dissociate the triethylamine, and the triethylamine can be recovered through
vacuum evaporation and concentration, so that the method is simple to operate and convenient for industrial implementation, the triethylamine
recovery cost is greatly reduced, and the method is suitable for industrial production. Meanwhile, the
wastewater treatment difficulty is also reduced.
