Preparation method for low residual granular sodium alkoxide or potassium alcoholate

The invention provides a preparation method for low residual granular sodium alkoxide or potassium alcoholate. The method includes using sodium or potassium and alcohol as raw materials, mixing the mixture with a solvent, reacting in inert gas atmosphere by using a microwave heating method, and removing the residual alcohol and solvent in the presence of microwave after the reaction to get the granular sodium alkoxide or potassium alcoholate. The microwave frequency is 2450 +/- 50 MHz. The method can prepare sodium alkoxide or potassium alcoholate with low residual solvent, and the prepared sodium alkoxide or potassium alcoholate is large granular solid, so that the development from powdered product to granular product can be realized, and the problems of residual solvent and potential risk troubled human for a long time can be overcome.
