摘要:
A reactive-separation process converts glycerin into lower alcohols, having boiling points less than 200 °C, at high yields. Conversion of natural glycerin to propylene glycol through an acetol intermediate is achieved at temperatures from 150° to 250 °C at a pressure ranging from 1 and 25 bar. The preferred applications of the propylene glycol are as an antifreeze, deicing compound, or anti-icing compound. The preferred catalyst for this process in a copper-chromium powder.
摘要:
A process for converting acetol to propylene glycol with high selectivity, comprising the steps of: combining an acetol-containing feedstock with less than 80% by weight water with a catalyst that is capable of hydrogenating acetol to form a reaction mixture; and heating the reaction mixture to a temperature ranging from 50° to 250°C at a pressure ranging from 0.2 to 25 bar.
摘要:
A composition for use as an antifreeze, deicing agent, or anti-icing agent produced from the crude glycerol byproduct of the C 1 to C 4 alkyl alcohol alcoholysis of a glyceride comprised of: on a water-free basis, from about 0.5% to about 60% glycerol, and from about 20% to about 85% propylene glycol.
摘要:
A process for converting glycerol to propylene glycol with high selectivity, comprising the steps of: heating a glycerol-containing feedstock material in presence of a catalyst that is capable of dehydrating glycerol at a temperature from 170°C to 270°C and a pressure from 0.2 to 25 atmospheres with hydrogen as a limiting reagent to prevent formation of propylene glycol such that there is resultant formation of acetol in the feedstock material; liberating the acetol in vapor phase from the feedstock material; and reacting the acetol in vapor phase with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst that is capable of hydrogenating acetol at a hydrogen partial pressure ranging from 0.2 to 50 bars to form propylene glycol.
