Abstract: A method for removing impurities from a taurine mother liquor and recovering the taurine mother liquor. The method is used in an ethylene oxide production process for taurine. The last mother liquor of taurine is ion-exchanged through an anion exchange resin; then the anion exchange resin is eluted and regenerated with alkaline solution, and the eluate is collected. The eluate is subjected to ammonia mixing treatment, and the treated mother liquor is generated after the impunity is removed from the eluate by solid-liquid separation. The treated mother liquor can then be returned to the ammonolysis step of taurine production.

Abstract: A process method for producing a pesticide by using carbon dioxide includes: weighing a 1,3-cyclohexanedione substrate 1(a-e), a catalyst and Cs2CO3 in a Schlenk bottle, degassing, and continuously introducing 1 atm of carbon dioxide; adding a solvent and reacting for 48 h in an oil bath at 50° C. After the reaction was completed, post-treatment was carried out to obtain a 2-carboxyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione compound 2(a-e). The obtained acid is acylated and then added dropwise to a dichloromethane solution containing aniline to react for 2 h at room temperature. After the reaction, column chromatography was performed to obtain a pesticide compound 3(a-e). Adding the pesticide compound 3(a-e) into 50% concentrated sulfuric acid and refluxing at 80° C. for 8 hours. Through separation, a pesticide product compound 4(a-e) was obtained. The process method is simple, with low requirements on equipment, wide sources of raw materials, low cost, low toxicity and easy industrial scale-up production.
