The invention discloses a method for preparing
xylose acid through
electrodialysis desalination and acid transformation by a one-
step method. The method comprises the following steps of treating
xylose acid salts by bipolar membrane
electrodialysis, and using an
electric field as driving force to realize
dialysis desalination and electrolyze the
xylose acid salts at the same time so as to generate the xylose acid; and therefore, the effect of completing
desalination and acid transformation by the one-
step method so as to prepare the xylose acid is realized. The xylose acid salts (
sodium,
potassium and
zinc) are used as raw liquid, after impurities of
colloid and the like are removed through adsorption, bipolar membrane
electrodialysis is adopted, and deionized water of which the resistivity is higher than 18 megohms is added to an acid chamber and an alkali chamber, and 0.1mol / L-0.5mol / L
sodium sulphate is used as a conducting medium between a connecting film group and a film
electrode; and xylose
acid salt liquid is treated under the condition that the
voltage is 15-20V, and the
electric current is 0-10A, until the electrical
conductivity of product liquid is reduced to 300ms / cm or below, and falls down no longer, the xylose acid product liquid is obtained. The desalinization ratio of the xylose
acid salt raw liquid is higher than 99%, the conversion rate of
sugar acid is higher than 97%, and the effect of preparing the xylose acid by the one-
step method is realized. The method disclosed by the invention has the advantages of being simple to operate, high in production efficiency and low in cost.
