Background
The ethylene sulfite is a colorless transparent liquid and is stable to heat. The boiling point is 170 ℃.
The Ethylene Sulfite (ES) is an additive which can make the use effect of the lithium ion battery electrolyte more excellent. After the vinyl sulfate is added into the electrolyte of the lithium ion battery, the storage stability of the battery can be greatly improved, and the low-temperature performance of the battery can also be improved.
In the prior art, the synthesis method of the ethylene sulfite is disclosed as follows:
CN109776361A, CN109369609A, CN106187989B and CN112375064A disclose that ethylene glycol and thionyl chloride are used as raw materials, reacted in dichloromethane, and then washed with alkali to synthesize the ethylene sulfite. The methods have the defects of generating a large amount of hydrogen chloride gas, generating a large amount of salt-containing wastewater and having large environmental protection treatment pressure.
CN107987052A discloses a method for preparing ethylene sulfite by using ethylene glycol and dimethyl sulfite as raw materials and carrying out ester exchange in the presence of a catalyst. The dimethyl sulfite used by the method is not easy to obtain, and has high toxicity and high potential safety hazard.
The synthesis process of the ethylene sulfite has many hidden dangers in the aspects of safety, environmental protection and the like. The production costs are also relatively high.
In addition, the method has the advantages of improving the product yield, simplifying reaction steps, avoiding potential safety hazards, reducing emission, and being green and environment-friendly, and is a problem which must be considered in modern chemical production.
