Abstract

Abstract A process for the treatment of waste water obtained in the condensation of thiocarbohydrazide and an aqueous solution of an α-keto carboxylic acid such as, e.g., 3,3-dimethyl-2-oxo-butyric acid, which comprises mixing said waste water with a water-immiscible ketone, preferably selected from the group consisting of methyl isobutyl ketone, cyclohexanone and pinacolone, said ketone being employed in an amount sufficient to form two phases, separating said two phases, and discharging as waste the aqueous phase. Advantageously the pH of the waste water is no higher than about 6 and its temperature is 20° to 50° C. The organic phase comprises the ketone containing dissolved therein an adduct of the ketone with thiocarbohydrazide and/or similar amino materials originally present in waste water. The excess of the ketone may be recovered from the organic phase by distillation, or the organic phase may be treated with alkali to effect hydrolysis of such adducts, the ketone separated and recycled and the amino materials recovered.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim 197 words
In the condensation of thiocarbohydrazide and an aqueous solution of an α-keto carboxylic acid of the formula R--CO--COOH (I) in which R is alkyl of from 1 to 18 carbon atoms, cycloalkyl of from 5 to 6 carbon atoms, aralkyl of from 6 to 10 carbon atoms in the aryl moiety and 1 to 4 carbon atoms in the alkyl moiety, or aryl of from 6 to 10 carbon atoms and such alkyl, cycloalkyl, aralkyl and aryl radical, respectively, which is substituted with at least one substituent selected from the group consisting of halo, nitro, carbo lower alkoxy, lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, aryloxy having 6-10 ring carbon atoms, lower alkylmercapto, arylmercapto having 6-10 ring carbon atoms and aryl-lower alkylmercapto having 6-10 ring carbon atoms in the aryl moiety, to produce a triazinone of the formula ##STR4## and waste water, and separating the triazinone from the waste water, the improvement which comrpises treating said waste water, said treatment involving mixing said waste water with a water-immiscible ketone solvent, said ketone being employed in an amount sufficient to form an aqueous phase and a ketone phase, and separating the thus purified waste water aqueous phase from the ketone phase.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 197 words
In the condensation of thiocarbohydrazide and an aqueous solution of an α-keto carboxylic acid of the formula R--CO--COOH (I) in which R is alkyl of from 1 to 18 carbon atoms, cycloalkyl of from 5 to 6 carbon atoms, aralkyl of from 6 to 10 carbon atoms in the aryl moiety and 1 to 4 carbon atoms in the alkyl moiety, or aryl of from 6 to 10 carbon atoms and such alkyl, cycloalkyl, aralkyl and aryl radical, respectively, which is substituted with at least one substituent selected from the group consisting of halo, nitro, carbo lower alkoxy, lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, aryloxy having 6-10 ring carbon atoms, lower alkylmercapto, arylmercapto having 6-10 ring carbon atoms and aryl-lower alkylmercapto having 6-10 ring carbon atoms in the aryl moiety, to produce a triazinone of the formula ##STR4## and waste water, and separating the triazinone from the waste water, the improvement which comrpises treating said waste water, said treatment involving mixing said waste water with a water-immiscible ketone solvent, said ketone being employed in an amount sufficient to form an aqueous phase and a ketone phase, and separating the thus purified waste water aqueous phase from the ketone phase.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 21 words
A process as claimed in claim 1, wherein R of formula (I) is alkyl of from 1 to 4 carbon atoms.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 14 words
A process as claimed in claim 1, wherein R of formula (I) is tert.-butyl.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 23 words
A process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the ketone is selected from the group consisting of methyl isobutyl ketone, cyclohexanone and pinacolone.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 24 words

Claim 9
Dependent Claim 35 words
A process as claimed in claim 6, wherein the organic phase is treated with alkali to raise its pH above 7 to effect hydrolysis of material contained therein prior to separation of the ketone therefrom.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 14 words
A process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the ketone is methyl isobutyl ketone.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 12 words
A process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the ketone is cyclohexanone.
