ABSTRACT: Liquid−liquid equilibrium (LLE) for the ternary system of 3-mercaptopropionic acid (3-MPA) + water + trichloromethane (TCM) was measured at temperatures of (303.2, 313.2, and 323.15) K under atmospheric pressure, and the corresponding phase diagrams were illustrated. Moreover, it was demonstrated that the presence of NaCl in the system can promote the separation of the two liquid phases, which favors the extraction of 3-MPA from water by TCM. The experimental data were correlated by using the nonrandom two-liquid (NRTL) equation, which showed that the calculated data are in good agreement with the experimental data, and the NRTL model can accurately predict the LLE of the ternary system at specific temperatures using the obtained interaction energy parameters.

1. INTRODUCTION 3-Mercaptopropionic acid (3-MPA) is a critical intermediate for the synthesis of O-desmethylvenlafaxine (an important antidepressant)1 and a raw material for manufacturing various crosslinking agents, resin additives, plastic stabilizers, etc.2−4 The most common industrial process to produce 3-MPA is from sodium hydrosulfide and acrylonitrile, during which, the aqueous solution of 3-MPA is obtained via two reaction pathways.5−10 In the first pathway, acrylonitrile reacts with sodium hydrosulfide to form 3-mercaptopropionitrile via an addition reaction, which was then hydrolyzed to 3-MPA under an acidic condition; while in the second pathway, the synthesized 3-mercaptopropionitrile further reacts with acrylonitrile to 3, 3′-dithiodipropionic acid, which is subsquently reduced to 3-MPA by using reductants such as Fe or Zn powders. The raw product obtained after the reation is the aqueous solution of 3-MPA containg the impurities of NaCl, thiodipropionetrile, etc. The liquid−liquid extraction process was then employed to obtain the final product of high-purity. The reported extractants include acetic ether, chloroform, trichloromethane (CHCl3, TCM) etc.; however, the systematic studies on the liquid−liquid equilibrium of the related ternary systems that is essential not only for the production of 3-MPA © XXXX American Chemical Society

using liquid−liquid extraction, but also the treatment of waster water containing 3-MPA, are surprisely scarce in the literature.11,12 In this paper, the LLE data of the ternary system of 3-MPA + water + TCM were first measured at different temperatures (303.2, 313.2 and 323.2) K under atmospheric pressure, and the corresponding phase diagrams were illustrated. Since NaCl always exists in the aqueous solution of 3-MPA obtained from the industrial reaction process of sodium hydrosulfide with acrylonitrile, the LLE data of the ternary system containing different concentration of of NaCl (0, 2, 6 wt %) were also measured at 313.2 K under atmospheric pressure. The experimental data were first verified by the Hand and Othmer−Tobias equations,3,4 and then correlated by using the nonrandom two-liquid (NRTL) model.13

calculated to be 0.67 %, demonstrating a good repeatability of the analyzing method. The mass concentration of 3-MPA in the organic phase (wI1) and aqueous phase (wII1) was determined by using an iodometric titration method with starch serving as the indicator.14 Before each measurement, 2 g of the aqueous phase or organic phase was diluted using 150 mL of water and TCM, respectively. High efficiency liquid chromatography (HPLC) was demonstrated to be accurate in analyzing 3MPA1,15Z; however, it is not applicable in this study since the existence of Cl− anions in the ternary system could result in equipment corrosion. The same as for the analysis of TCM, each sample was also analyzed at least three times, and the average values were reported. The corresponding maximum relative deviation was calculated to be 0.61%. It is noteworthy that we have also tried to determine the concentration of 3MPA using the methods of GC and acid−base titration, and verified the better accuracy of the iodometric titration method. According to the measured data, the phase diagrams with the tie-lines of the ternary system at different conditions were w illustrated, and the distribution coefficient (D = w I1 ) of 3-

99 wt %) was purchased from Alfa Aesar Chemical Co. Ltd. (China), and was further purified by using vacuum distillation. The purity of 3-MPA after the purification was measured to be 99.91 wt % by using a iodimetric titration method. Trichloromethane (chromatographic grade), the purity of which was measured to be higher than 99.8 wt % by GC (gas chromatography), was purchased from Kelong Chemical Reagent company (Chengdu, China). Acetone (AR, purity > 99.5 wt %) was purchased from Chuandong (Chongqing, China) Chemical Reagent company. Other chemicals used in this work, K2Cr2O4, NaCl, Na2S2O3, concentrated H2SO4, hydrochloric acid (Chuandong Chemical Reagent company, Chongqing, China), and KI, soluble starch (Kelong Chemical Reagent company) are all analytical grade and were used without further purification. All the water used in the experiments was deionized water (conductivity < 0.5 us/cm) that was self-made in the laboratory. 2.2. Experimental Procedure. The LLE of the ternary system was performed in a self-made glass mixer equipped with a SHA-C thermostatic water-bath oscillator (Huapuda, Changzhou, Jiangsu Province, China). Then, different amounts of 3-MPA, TCM, water, and NaCl, measured by using an electronic balance (FA2004 model, accuracy = ±0.0001 g, Shanghai Hengping Scientific Instrument Co. Ltd., China), were added and mixed in a glass bottle (50 mL), which was then sealed and put into the glass mixer. After the mixture was heated to the expected temperature (measured by a precision and calibrated thermometer, ±0.1°C), and oscillated for 4 h, it was allowed to rest for another 4 h, and the resulting mixture was separated into two phases. The organic phase and the aqueous phase (2 g) were, respectively, carefully sampled for component analyses without disturbing the equilibrium. The mass concentration of TCM in both the organic phase (wI3) and aqueous phase (wII3) were analyzed using a GC (GC7900, Shanghai Tian Mei Scientific Instruments Co. Ltd., China) equiped with a ϕ 2 mm × 3000 mm Porapak Q column and a flame ionization detector (FID). The temperature of the injector and detector port was kept at 523.15 K, while the column room temperature was controlled at 473.15 K. Moreover, nitrogen was used as the carrier gas, and the precolumn pressure was set to be 0.3 MPa. An internal standard method was used to quantify the mass concentration of TCM by using acetone as the internal standard, and a standard curve between the mass ratio of TCM and acetone versus their GC peak ratio was determined first. Each sample was analyzed at least three times, and the average values were reported. The maximum relative deviation of the measured data was

MPA was calculated. Since the operating temperature for the industrial extration of 3-mercaptopropionic acid is usually around 313.2 K, the LLE data for the ternary system were measured at temperatures of (303.2, 313.2, and 323.2) K under atmospheric pressure, and those for the system with the addition of NaCl were measured at 313.2 K. 2.3. Verification of the Experimental Data. The reliability and consistence of the experimental tie-line data were verified by using the Hand3 equation (eq 1) and Othmer−Tobias4 equation (eq 2), the effectiveness of which to ascertain the experimental LLE data was validated by a large number of systems.16 ij w yz ij w yz lnjjj I1 zzz = A + B lnjjj II1 zzz jw z j wI3 z k II2 { k {

preferred to correlate them to theoretical models. The NRTL and universal quasichemical (UNIQUAC) equations are the two most used thermodynamic models to simulate the liquid− liquid equilibrium. By a comparison with the UNIQUAC model, in this study, the experimental LLE data was correlated with the NRTL model (eq 3), using the Aspen Plus 7.2 software 16−18 due to the better agreement with the experimental data, especially at the high 3-MPA concentration. ln γi =

It can be seen that the partial miscibility region of the ternary system decreases with an increase in temperature as the solubility between TCM and water is enhanced. The experimental distribution coefficients of 3-MPA at different temperatures versus its concentration in the organic phase (Fig. 3a) show that the distribution coefficients decrease with an increase in temperature, which is a general observation in the liquid−liquid equilibrium of the ternary system.26−28 Table 3 lists the LLE data of the ternary mixture at 323.2 K with the addition of different amounts of NaCl (the mass fraction of NaCl in the original aqueous solution of 3-MPA is 0, 2, and 6 wt %, respectively), the corresponding phase diagram and tie-lines are plotted in Figure 4 and the phase diagrams with the addition of different amounts of NaCl is compared in Figure 5, demonstrating that the addition of NaCl can promote the extraction of 3-MPA from the aqueous phase by TCM. This effect is also verified by the results of the distribution coefficients (Fig. 3b), showing that the distribu-

tion coefficients can be significantly increased by adding NaCl in the aqueous phase due to the “salting out” effect.29−37 At the present study, we were not able to analyze the distribution of NaCl in the two phases due to the poor solubility of NaCl in the organic phase (the measured solubility of NaCl in TCM and 3-MPA, is 0.0004 g/L and 0.0015 g/L at 30 °C, respectively), which is, however, very important for deeply understanding the “salting out” effect and will be investigated in future studies. 3.2. Verification of the Experimental Data. The experimental data were verified by fitting with the Hand and the Othmer−Tobias plots. The Hand and Othmer−Tobias plots of the ternary systems at various temperatures were displayed in Figure 6; and those at 313.2 K with different concentrations of NaCl were displayed in Figure 7.

was obtained between the experimental data with the fitting lines, ascertaining the accuracy of the experimental data. 3.3. Correlation of the Experimental Data by the NRTL Model. In this section, the experimental data were correlated by using the NRTL model (eq 3) and setting the nonrandomness parameter between TCM and water, 3-MPA and water, and 3-MPA and TCM to be 0.2, 0.3, 0.3,17,19 respectively, in which, the binary interaction parameters were obtained (Table 4) by minimizing the objective function in eq 4. For validating the predictability of the obtained NRTL model, 6 of 8 experimental data were used for the correlation of the NRTL model and achieving the corresponding binary interaction parameters, and then the obtained model was used to predict the other two data and compare with the experimental data. The comparison of the calculated data with the experimental data (Table 2 and 3, Figures 1 and 4) showed that the calculated data by the NRTL model show good agreement with the experimental data. The maximum total RMSD for the five experimental scenarios is 0.0109 and the maximum RMSD for the 30 groups of data (6 for each experimental scenario) is 0.0173, demonstrating that the NRTL model can correlate well with the experimental data. Moreover, the NRTL model can

also predict the LLE data of the ternary system with good accuracy by using the obtained interaction energy parameters at specific temperatures (Table 4). For the involved 10 groups of data, the maximum RMSD is 0.0247, which ensures that the NRTL model is reliable to be used in the prediction of the LLE data for the investigated system at each experimental scenario. However, the developed NRTL model can not be employed to predict the LLE data at different temperatures since the the obtained interaction energy parameters are not correlated well with the temperature, which could be solved by measuring more experimental data at different temperatures and correlating the data using different thermodynamic models, for example, the extended UNIQUAC model.

4. CONCLUSIONS LLE for the ternary system of 3-mercaptopropionic acid + water + trichloromethane was investigated at different temperatures of (303.2, 313.2, and 323.2) K under atmospheric pressure, and the effect of the presence of NaCl in the system was also clarified, showing that the addition of NaCl can promote the extraction of 3-MPA from the aqueous phase by TCM due to the “salting out” effect. Furthermore, the F
