Abstract:
An apparatus for producing polyethylene glycol dinitrate. The apparatus includes providing continuously an acid composition and a glycol composition to a reaction apparatus; reacting the acid composition and the glycol composition in the reaction apparatus in a continuous manner to generate a reaction composition; using an alkaline composition to at least partially neutralize the reaction composition to cause at least a portion of the polyethylene glycol dinitrate to deposit from a solution of the reaction composition; and extracting the deposit of polyethylene glycol dinitrate.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a process for nitrating aromatic compounds without the need for a solid catalyst and/or any organic solvents and/or any other additives. A typical process includes combining or admixing a nitric acid and an anhydride compound under conditions sufficient to produce a reactive intermediate. The aromatic compound to be nitrated is then added to this reactive intermediate to produce a nitroaromatic compound. The nitroaromatic compound can be substituted with one or more, typically, one to three, and often one or two nitrate (—NO2) groups.
Abstract:
Branched decyl nitrates of the formula R1 R2 CH-CH 2-O-NO 2, wherein R1 denotes an n-propyl or iso-propyl group and R2 is a linear or branched alkyl group having 5 carbon atoms, are suited as combustion improvers and/or cetane number improvers in fuels.
