Abstract
An object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing methionine capable of achieving an improvement in ammonia removal efficiency. The manufacturing method of the present invention comprises a removal step of supplying a liquid containing a methionine salt, which is obtained by reacting 3-methylmercaptopropionaldehyde and hydrocyanic acid, or a compound obtained by reacting 3-methylmercaptopropionaldehyde and hydrocyanic acid, with carbon dioxide and ammonia to obtain a liquid containing 5-(2-methylmercaptoethyl)hydantoin and then hydrolyzing the 5-(2-methylmercaptoethyl)hydantoin, to a diffusion tower from an upper portion thereof while supplying a stripping gas to the diffusion tower from a lower portion thereof to remove ammonia contained in the liquid through stripping, and the stripping gas contains a process gas generated in a process of manufacturing methionine.
