b. ozone oxidation: adding a mixed solvent into the hydrolysate, and then introducing ozone to carry out oxidation reaction at the reaction temperature of 0-5 ℃ for 2-3.5 h; obtaining an ozonide, wherein the adding amount of the mixed solvent is 0.5-1.5 times of the using amount of the mixed solvent in the step a;

the mixed solvent is a mixture of methanol and an organic solvent I, wherein the volume ratio of the methanol to the organic solvent I is 1: 1-3; the organic solvent I is ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, n-hexane, cyclohexane or trichloromethane.
In order to improve the reaction yield, the organic solvent I is preferably ethyl acetate.
The volume ratio of methanol to ethyl acetate is preferably 1: 2. experimental research shows that the volume ratio of methanol to ethyl acetate is 1:2 as the reaction solvent, the yield of glyoxylic acid after the reaction is the highest.
The invention adopts a methanol, ethyl acetate and distilled water three-solvent system, which is beneficial to the dispersion of gas and the absorption of ozone, and when a mixed solvent of polar solvent methanol and non-polar solvent ethyl acetate is adopted, the reaction liquid always keeps homogeneous phase during the reaction, so that the mass transfer effect is good, the reaction yield is high, and the by-product is less. The glyoxylic acid monohydrate is readily formed when the water addition is primarily an ozone intermediate reduction.
Each step is described in detail below.
Step a is a hydrolysis stage of maleic anhydride.
In the step a, the maleic anhydride is hydrolyzed by adopting a mixed solvent, so that low-temperature hydrolysis can be realized, and the hydrolysis time can be shortened. The optimal hydrolysis temperature is 55-70 ℃, and the hydrolysis time is 30-70 min; more preferably, the hydrolysis temperature is 65 ℃ and the hydrolysis time is 50 min.
Preferably, 25mL of water and 75mL of mixed solvent are mixed with each mole of maleic anhydride; at this time, the mass fraction of maleic anhydride exceeds 50%, which can improve the yield and reduce the dosage of organic solvent.
a certain amount of water is added in the step a, so that maleic anhydride can be hydrolyzed, and glyoxylic acid monohydrate can be easily formed during the subsequent reduction of an ozone intermediate.
Step b is an ozone oxidation stage.
The ozone oxidation in the step b is the core stage of the reaction of the invention, a bubble reactor can be adopted for ozonization, and ozone is blown from the bottom of the maleic acid solution (namely the hydrolysate in the step a), so that the ozone and the solution can be fully contacted, and the sufficient contact time is provided, thereby being beneficial to the reaction. After a period of reaction, a small amount of reaction liquid can be taken from the reactor into a small test tube, 5% bromine carbon tetrachloride solution is dripped, the color change of the liquid in the test tube is observed, and the reaction is finished when the bromine water begins to fade.
The amount of the mixed solvent added in the step b has an influence on the reaction yield. The larger the amount of the solvent, the lower the concentration of the maleic acid, the lower the viscosity of the reaction liquid, the better the mass transfer effect, and the possibility of self-polymerization reaction is reduced when the ozonide is oxidized and decomposed, and the amount of the ozonide taken away due to the loss of the solvent is also reduced. However, the amount of the solvent used is too large, the amount of the product is reduced, the utilization rate of equipment is reduced, and the load and the cost of solvent recovery are increased, so that the amount of the mixed solvent added in the step b is preferably the same as that in the step a.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, 1mol of maleic acid is preferably hydrolyzed by adding 25mL of water +25mL of methanol +50mL of ethyl acetate, and after the hydrolysis is completed, 25mL of methanol +50mL of ethyl acetate are supplemented for ozone oxidation.
And (c) regarding the reaction temperature in the step b, the diffusion effect of ozone is poor in a lower range, the reaction is mainly controlled by diffusion, and in a higher range of the reaction temperature, the ozone activity is stronger, so that the product is easily oxidized to generate oxalic acid, and the product yield is low. At too high a temperature, the product crystals are slightly yellowish and may be contaminated with small amounts of decomposition products. Therefore, the reaction temperature is preferably controlled to 0 to 5 ℃. The preferred reaction temperature is 5 deg.C, at which time the crystalline color of the product obtained is better.
The reaction time of the step b is related to the reaction progress degree, the reaction degree is nearly complete along with the increase of the reaction time, the overoxidation of the product can be caused by the overlong reaction time, the theoretically calculated reaction time is 2.5h, but the actual utilization of ozone cannot reach 100%, so the theoretical reaction time is properly prolonged, the reaction time is too short, the raw materials cannot be completely reacted, and the reaction yield is reduced and the raw materials are wasted. Therefore, the reaction time is preferably 2 to 3.5 hours, and more preferably 3 hours.
The step c is mainly a reduction stage.
At the end of the ozone oxidation stage, some glyoxylic acid is produced and some primary ozonides are produced, which ozonides are reduced using sulfurous acid as reducing agent in order to increase the yield. Introducing air to discharge residual ozone in a reaction system, adding the ozone into a certain amount of sulfurous acid with a certain concentration (the adding amount of the sulfurous acid is just negative in a potassium iodide starch test), wherein the reduction process is a strong heat release process, the temperature of the system is controlled to be 55-65 ℃, after the sulfurous acid is completely added, a certain amount of CaO is slowly added, then 5mL of water is added, the temperature is controlled to be below 10 ℃, standing the solution to precipitate the solution, and filtering to remove the CaSO4Precipitation gave a pale yellow solution. CaO is added mainly for removing sulfate radicals, and the adding amount of CaO can be obtained by theoretical calculation according to the using amount of sulfurous acid.
In the step c, the yield of the dropwise adding method of the ozonide into the sulfurous acid solution is obviously higher than that of the dropwise adding method of the sulfurous acid solution into the ozonide. This is because the reaction is performed by a dropwise addition method in which a sulfurous acid solution is added dropwise to an ozonide, and at the beginning of the reaction, the amount of the reducing agent is small, the polar solvent is not diluted, the concentration is high, and acetal is easily formed. And the reaction of dripping ozonide into the sulfurous acid solution is adopted, so that the defect is avoided. The reductive decomposition reaction is always carried out in the condition that the polar solvent is maximally diluted and the reducing agent is excessive, so that the formation of acetal is greatly inhibited, and the reaction yield is improved. Therefore, the present invention adopts a dropping manner of dropping the ozonide into the sulfurous acid solution.
Preferably, in the step c, the concentration of the sulfurous acid solution is 5-12 wt%; the concentration of the sulfurous acid solution is preferably 8 wt%.
In the method of the present invention, sulfurous acid in step c: and (a) maleic anhydride in the step (a) is 0.8-1.2: 1. The reaction yield is also influenced by the dosage of the reducing agent, and the reaction yield is increased along with the dosage of the reducing agent, when the molar ratio of the dosage of the reducing agent to the dosage of the maleic acid reaches 1: when 1 hour, the yield can reach 96.8 percent; and then, the dosage of the reducing agent is increased, so that the yield is not changed greatly. This is probably because when the amount of the reducing agent used is small, the amount of the reducing agent is insufficient and the reaction is incomplete; when the dosage reaches the molar ratio of 1:1, the reaction proceeds sufficiently, and the yield increases. But the dosage is more than 1:1, the reaction proceeds sufficiently, so that the yield is hardly affected. Therefore, the ratio of sulfurous acid in the step c: and (b) maleic anhydride in the step a is 1: 1.
In the reduction reaction, the reaction yield does not change greatly with the temperature within the range of 55-65 ℃. The reaction yield increases with the time of the reduction reaction, and when the reaction time is 20min, the reaction yield is 73.2%, and when the reaction time reaches 40min, the reaction yield is almost unchanged after the time is prolonged. Therefore, the preferred reaction temperature in step c is 60 ℃ and the reaction time is 40 min.
And d, a reduced pressure distillation stage.
The conventional vacuum distillation equipment is suitable for the invention.
Preferably, the final temperature of the step d is controlled to be 50-60 ℃ and the pressure is 4.7 kPa.
As an embodiment, the following specific operations may be employed: and c, transferring the filtrate obtained by filtering in the step c to a three-neck flask, adding a plurality of grains of zeolite, carrying out reduced pressure distillation under the water bath heating condition of 55 ℃, controlling the pressure to be 4.7kPa, constantly observing the temperature of the solution, controlling the temperature to be not more than 55 ℃, stopping heating and stopping a vacuum device when the temperature of the solution is constant, and recording the final temperature of the reduced pressure distillation.
In order to save cost, the solvent distilled under reduced pressure in the step d can be used as the mixed solvent in the step a. The method for synthesizing glyoxylic acid by ozonation of the maleic anhydride mixed solvent can realize solvent recovery and reuse, the yield of the generated formic acid is not influenced, the formic acid can be continuously used, and the formic acid can be further concentrated to be used as a byproduct after the concentration of the formic acid exceeds a certain value.
Step e is a crystallization stage.
And when the reduced pressure distillation is finished, cooling and crystallizing the residual solution, wherein the temperature is controlled to be 0-5 ℃, and the time is 2-3 days. The preferred time is 3 days.
