The invention discloses a process and a device for preparing and purifying
undecylenic acid, and the process comprises the following steps: under the condition of negative pressure, firstly carrying out biological
enzyme catalytic hydrolysis on methyl undecylenate to obtain
undecylenic acid and
methanol, and then carrying out
filtration, liquid separation and melt
crystallization on reaction liquid to obtain purified
undecylenic acid, meanwhile, unconverted methyl undecylenate and water are recycled, and generated
methanol is recycled. The bio-
enzyme is used as a catalyst, the reaction condition is mild, the
reaction rate is high, compared with a
saponification acidification process, acid utilization and waste salt generation are avoided, and the method is relatively friendly to the environment and equipment; the reaction is carried out under a negative pressure condition, so that the
raw material hydrolysis conversion rate is effectively improved; by using a melt
crystallization method and a corresponding separation device, a high-yield and high-purity product is easy to obtain. The invention provides a novel process and device for preparation and purification of undecylenic acid, the
process conditions are mild, the device is simple, the
energy consumption is small, the production efficiency and quality of the product are improved, and the
environmental protection property of the production process is also improved.
