  • Publication number: 20240083863
    Abstract: Described herein is a method for preparing acesulfame potassium, comprising: pressing an acetoacetamide-N-sulfonic acid triethylamine salt solution and a cyclizing agent solution into a Venturireactor via different inlets, mixing same at a mixing section and a diffusion section of the Venturireactor, and then injecting the obtained mixture into a flow reactor, wherein the cyclizing agent solution is formed by dissolving sulfur trioxide in a first organic solvent; subjecting the mixture passing through the flow reactor to a sulfonation cyclization reaction under the action of a supported solid base heterogeneous catalyst preset in the flow reactor, and entering the obtained sulfonated cyclized product into a hydrolysis reactor; subjecting the sulfonated cyclized product and a hydrolysis agent preset in the hydrolysis reactor to a hydrolysis reaction to obtain a hydrolysis product solution; and adding potassium hydroxide into an organic phase of the hydrolysate solution for a salt-forming reaction to obtain the

  • Publication number: 20230382877
    Abstract: Provided is a method for refining acesulfame potassium (Ace K), including: adding hydrogen peroxide and activated carbon to an Ace K crude product-containing solution to obtain a mixture, maintaining the mixture at a first preset temperature for a first preset time, and filtering the mixture to obtain an Ace K mother liquor; conducting concentration on the Ace K mother liquor to a preset concentration to obtain a concentrated solution, allowing the concentrated solution to stand at a second preset temperature for a second preset time to form an Ace K crystal nucleus, and obtaining a crystal nucleus-containing solution; conducting programmed freezing on the crystal nucleus-containing solution to obtain a solution with a large number of Ace K crystals; and conducting centrifugation, water washing, and drying on the solution with a large number of Ace K crystals to obtain an Ace K crystal product.
