In the first stage of this invention, renewable carbon resources are utilized to produce diammonium succinate through biological fermentation. In the second stage of this present invention, diammonium succinate is converted into 2-pyrrolidone and N-methylpyrrolidone through a two step reaction. Both the steps of the reaction leading to the production of 2-pyrrolidone and N-methylpyrrolidone are carried out in a solvent phase to prevent the loss of succinimide through hydrolysis.

  • Patent number: 8519157
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for producing of ultra-clean and high-purity N-methyl pyrrolidone through using industrial grade N-methyl pyrrolidone as raw material. After the pretreatment, sorption and dehydration with 4A molecular sieve, twice membrane filtrations are carried out through using ?-cyclodextrin composite membrane for the first and 18-crown-6 composite membrane for the second. The filtrate is rectified under vacuum and filtered through using complexant composite microporous membrane to obtain the product. The ultra-clean and high-purity N-methyl pyrrolidone, produced by the method provided by the present invention, is up to the SEMI C8 standard. And the purity of the product is over 99.8%, the moisture content is less than 0.03%, and the content of single metal ion is less than 1 ppb. Comparing to the prior art, the present invention has the advantage such as the stable quality of the product, simple operation, and is suitable for industrial continuous production.
