Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain the subject method for producing 2-methyl-5- nitrobenzenesulfonic acid and its sodium salt without discharging waste sulfuric acid and causing any remaining unreacted p-nitrotoluene in a method for sulfonating the p-nitrotoluene. CONSTITUTION:p-Nitrotoluene is sulfonated with SO3 gas containing an inert gas and then aged to reduce the contents of the unreacted p-nitrotoluene and SO3. The resultant aged reactional product is subsequently dissolved in water and distilled with water or subjected to steam distillation to remove the p- nitrotoluene. Thereby, sulfuric acid is reduced to an extent so as not to cause trouble in the next reaction. Purification is not especially required.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, P-nitrotoluene (hereinafter referred to as "P
Various methods have been studied as a sulfonation method for "NT"). For example, in the case of fuming sulfuric acid, a SO 3 concentration of 20 to 25 wt% is generally used, but since a large amount of waste acid is involved, it is sulfonated with 50 to 85 wt% of fuming sulfuric acid and diluted with water to a sulfuric acid concentration of 60 to 75 wt%. PNT-sulfonic acid is obtained by crystallization (JP-A-60-132950).

In the method of sulfonization using 100% SO 3 gas, a small amount of sulfuric acid (0.14 part / PNT1.0
Part) is used to promote the reaction and to improve the fluidity of the reaction solution at the end of the reaction (JP-A-58-118555). still,
When SO 3 gas is used, when 60 to 70% is sulfonated, the reaction is abruptly slowed down (Fine Aromatics Intermediate, Borochetsoff, p. 48; Gihodo). For this reason, it is necessary to use sulfuric acid or excess SO 3 for accelerating and completing the reaction. In any case, sulfuric acid remains in the PNT-sulfonic acid after the reaction product is dissolved in water (see JP-A-58-118555, Example 1; H 2 above).

However, when a PNT-sulfonic acid aqueous solution is used as a product, it is preferable to remove the unreacted PNT after removing the unreacted PNT from the viewpoint of effectively utilizing the heat generation amount when water is dissolved. When the sodium sulfonic acid salt is used as a product, the solubility of the soda salt is low. Therefore, it is preferable to remove PNT-sulfone before neutralization (that is, before removing unreacted PNT).

The reaction product after aging is dissolved in water to 30 to 30%.
A 45 wt% aqueous solution is prepared, and after cooling, PNT-sulfone that precipitates after filtration is removed by filtration, and then neutralized with a 30% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution to obtain a PNT-sodium sulfonic acid salt aqueous solution. After that, the unreacted PNT can be removed by further heating and distilling the PNT with water. At that time, a steam distillation method in which the same amount of water as the distilled water is replenished or steam is blown in order to maintain the solution concentration can be applied. When the PNT-sodium sulfonic acid salt aqueous solution from which unreacted PNT has been removed needs further concentration, the make-up water at the time of distillation with water can be reduced to a required concentration.

EFFECT OF THE INVENTION According to the method of the present invention, the reaction product obtained by sulfonating PNT with SO 3 gas produces residual P due to aging.
Both can be reduced by the mutual reaction of NT and SO 3 . The reaction product after aging can be decomposed into water to form an aqueous solution (further neutralized in the case of soda salt), and then unreacted PNT can be removed by water vapor distillation. This result P
No NT odor, and sulfuric acid (in the case of soda salt, sodium sulfate)
It is possible to obtain PNT-sulfonic acid or PNT-sodium sulfonate whose residual amount is controlled to be low. The method of the present invention does not discharge waste acid, which was difficult to avoid by the conventional method, and can deal with environmental problems. Further, the unreacted PNT distilled by steam distillation can be reused as a raw material.
