Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for producing sorbic acid useful as a food additive or the like, and more particularly, to a method for producing sorbic acid by decomposing a polyester which is a polymerization reaction product of octatonaldehyde and ketene.
- the present invention relates to a method for producing high-purity sorbic acid by efficiently removing impurities such as by-product tar-like substances.
- Sorbic acid and its salts have antiseptic and antifungal effects and, at normal use concentrations, show little toxicity to the human body, and are therefore useful as food additives.
- the wet cake of crude sorbic acid obtained by decomposing the polyester is dissolved in hot water, and the tar-like substances that are insoluble in hot water are separated and removed.
- the method of removing is a simple and preferable method for removing a large amount of tar-like substances without using a special solvent.
- the solubility of sorbic acid in water is at most about 3% even in hot water near 100 ° C, and it is necessary to increase the size of the equipment itself in order to treat large amounts of crude sorbic acid.
- an object of the present invention is to provide a method for efficiently removing impurities such as tar-like substances by-produced by the decomposition of polyester by simple means and producing sorbic acid of high purity with high productivity. It is in.
- the present inventors have conducted intensive studies in order to achieve the above object, and as a result, utilizing the fact that the solubility of sorbic acid sharply increases when the temperature of hot water exceeds 100 ° C.
- the present inventors have found that tar-like substances can be efficiently removed by extraction with hot water at a temperature of more than 100 ° C or activated carbon treatment in hot water at a temperature of more than 100 ° C, and have completed the present invention. .
- the present invention provides a reaction product of crotonaldehyde and ketene.
- Crude sorbic acid obtained by decomposing the formed polyester is 10 o.
- the temperature of the hot water is, for example, 120 ° C. or less.
- the amount of sorbic acid to be treated is, for example, equal to or less than the amount of sorbic acid dissolved in hot water at the treatment temperature.
- polyester is decomposed to produce sorbic acid.
- the polyester is obtained by polymerizing crotonaldehyde and ketene. More specifically, ketene is added to crotonaldehyde in the presence of a catalyst such as, for example, zinc acetate, zinc isobutyrate, ⁇ ; —picolin at a temperature of, for example, about 20 to 100 ° C. Synthesize polyester by blowing.
- the polyester to be subjected to the decomposition reaction may be decomposed by either acid or hydrolysis by acid or thermal decomposition.
- hydrolytic decomposition using a mineral acid, particularly hydrochloric acid is preferred.
- the reaction temperature for hydrolyzing the polyester is, for example, about 10 to 110 ° C.
- the concentration of hydrochloric acid when the polyester is hydrolyzed with hydrochloric acid is, for example, about 15 to 40% by weight, and preferably 23 to 36% by weight. /. It is about.
- the reaction mixture obtained by decomposing the polyester contains sorbic acid, the catalyst used in the reaction, and impurities such as tar-like substances by-produced in the reaction. Requires a purification step.
- An important feature of the present invention is that the sol At least one selected from (A) a hot water extraction process in which sorbic acid is extracted with hot water by adding boric acid to hot water exceeding 100 ° C, and (B) an activated carbon treatment in hot water. There are two processes. These treatments are usually performed under pressure to increase the treatment temperature to more than 100 ° C.
- the hot water extraction treatment (A) the crude sorbic acid and hot water are thoroughly mixed by stirring or the like, and then allowed to stand still to remove an aqueous layer containing sorbic acid and by-product tar-like substances insoluble in hot water. By separating the liquid into an organic layer containing sorbic acid, sorbic acid and impurities such as tar-like substances can be separated.
- the activated carbon treatment (B) impurities such as tar-like substances dissolved in hot water are adsorbed on the activated carbon, and the activated carbon is filtered off, whereby sorbic acid with high purity can be obtained.
- the treatments (A) and (B) can be performed at any point in the sorbic acid purification step after the polyester decomposition reaction step.
- the reaction mixture when a polyester is hydrolyzed in the presence of an acid, the reaction mixture is usually in the form of a slurry in which sorbic acid is dispersed in water. Therefore, the slurry-like reaction mixture is subjected to suction filtration and pressurization.
- the crude sorbic acid wet cake obtained by subjecting to solid-liquid separation such as filtration and the like is added to hot water to perform the above treatment.
- the crude sorbic acid wet cake contains a tar-like substance, and usually has a brownish brown to blackish brown color.
- the melting point of sorbic acid is generally said to be 134.5 ° C, but in the coexistence of water, it has dropped to a temperature slightly lower than 120 ° C, and the temperature exceeds 120 ° C It is thought that the excess sorbic acid that could not be completely dissolved in the aqueous layer would liquefy and separate from water. Therefore, in the hot water extraction treatment (A), sorbic acid migrates to the organic layer and is easily lost. In addition, in the activated carbon treatment (B), the liquefied sorbic acid itself dissolves the tar-like substance as a solvent, making removal by activated carbon difficult, and when cooled, the tar-like substance is incorporated into the crystal. It is easy to cause hue deterioration.
- the upper limit of the temperature of the hot water it is preferable to set the upper limit of the temperature of the hot water to 120 ° C, and to reduce the throughput of sorbic acid. It is desirable that the amount of sorbic acid at the treatment temperature be equal to or less than the saturated solubility in hot water.
- the activated carbon used in the activated carbon treatment (B) is not particularly limited. Activated carbon derived from plants such as wood, sawdust, and coconut shells, activated carbon derived from minerals such as peat, lignite, and lignite, phenolic resin, etc. Activated carbon etc. can be used.
- the specific surface area of activated carbon for example, 2 0 0 ⁇ 3 5 0 0 m 2 Z g, preferably 4 0 0 ⁇ 2 0 0 0 m 2 / g, further preferred properly is 1 0 0 0 ⁇ 2 0 0 0 m It is about 2 / g.
- the total pore volume of the activated carbon is, for example, 0.1 to 2 ml / g, preferably 0.2 to: 1.6 ml / g, and more preferably 0.8 to 1.6 ml / g. It is about.
- the amount of activated carbon used can be appropriately selected within a range that does not impair the purification efficiency and the like. Generally, 100 parts by weight of sorbic acid subjected to the activated carbon treatment is
- the treatment time with activated carbon is, for example, about 10 minutes to 5 hours, preferably 1 minute.
- the activated carbon is separated by filtration, and the filtrate is cooled to precipitate sorbic acid, and then filtered and dried to obtain purified sorbic acid.
- Either the hot water extraction treatment (A) or the activated carbon treatment (B) may be performed, or both treatments may be performed.
- the amount of the tar-like substance is small, sorbic acid having excellent hue can be obtained only by the activated carbon treatment (B).
- both the hot water extraction treatment (A) and the activated carbon treatment (B) are performed, it is sufficient to use hot water exceeding 100 ° C in at least one of the treatments. It is preferred to use more than hot water.
- the hot water extraction treatment (A) and the activated carbon treatment (B) may be performed stepwise, or may be performed in one step.
- crotonaldehyde To 600 parts of crotonaldehyde, 2 parts of zinc isobutyrate was added as a catalyst, and at 30 to 40 ° C., 170 parts of ketene gas was introduced to cause a reaction. After completion of the reaction, excess crotonaldehyde was distilled off under reduced pressure to obtain a high-viscosity polyester.
- Example 1 A similar operation was performed in Example 1 except that the temperature of the reaction vessel during the activated carbon treatment was raised to 100 ° C, and pure sorbic acid in the crude sorbic acid wet cake initially charged in water was obtained. The yield of purified sorbic acid recovered per minute was 60.5%.
