摘要:
Ester polyol esters are a unique class of lubricants that have adjustable molecular weights, viscosities, and pour points based on the character of their reaction materials and relative ratios. There is provided a method for preparing at least one ester polyol ester, the method comprising esterifying an ester polyol reaction mixture to produce ester polyol, the reaction mixture comprising an ozone acid mixture and at least one primary polyol, wherein the ozone acid mixture comprises at least one dicarboxylic acid and at least one monocarboxylic acid; and capping the ester polyol with at least one capping carboxylic acid to produce ester polyol ester.

Disclosed is a method for controlling a vinyl acetate production process. The method comprises reacting ethylene, acetic acid, and an oxygen-containing gas in the presence of a catalyst in a reactor to produce vinyl acetate, measuring the concentration of a component involved in or associated with the reaction and/or any of the subsequent steps by Raman spectroscopic analysis, and adjusting the conditions in the reactor or in any of the subsequent steps in response to the measured concentration of the component to achieve a proper control of the reaction or any of the subsequent steps.

This invention provides an integrated two stage economical process for the production of vinyl acetate monomer (VAM) from acetic acid in the vapor phase. First, acetic acid is selectively hydrogenated over a hydrogenating catalyst composition to form ethylene either in a single reactor zone or in a dual reactor zone wherein the intermediate hydrogenated products are either dehydrated and/or cracked to form ethylene. In a subsequent second stage so formed ethylene is reacted with molecular oxygen and acetic acid over a suitable catalyst to form VAM. In an embodiment of this invention reaction of acetic acid and hydrogen over a hydrogenation catalyst and subsequent reaction over a dehydration catalyst selectively produces ethylene, which is further mixed with acetic acid and molecular oxygen and reacted over a supported palladium/gold/potassium catalyst.

The invention relates to a method for producing vicinal diols or polyols from an organic reaction mixture containing formic acid esters of vicinal diols or polyols. The reaction mixture is treated with water without adding bases and thermally treated afterwards, whereby the formic acid esters are hydrolyzed, the aqueous formic acid is separated and the vicinal diols or polyols remain.

The invention relates to a process for preparing vinyl acetate by means of a) heterogeneously catalyzed, continuous gas-phase reaction of ethylene, acetic acid and oxygen at a pressure of from 1 to 30 bar and at a temperature of from 130°C to 200°C, where the process heat is dissipated by means of heat exchange to water whose temperature is from 120°C to 185°C at a pressure of from 1 to 10 bar, b) separation of the product gas stream comprising in essence ethylene, vinyl acetate, acetic acid, water, carbon dioxide and further inert gases, and c) entire or partial return of ethylene to the gas-circuit process, which comprises compressing, to the extent of a difference in pressure of at least 0.5 bar, all of some of the steam formed by means of heat exchange during the gas-phase reaction with a temperature of from 120°C to 185°C at a pressure of from 1 to 10 bar, and making further use thereof.
摘要:
An integrated process for making methanol, acetic acid, and a product from an associated process is disclosed. Syngas (120) is produced by combined steam reforming (109) and autothermal reforming (118) of natural gas (102) where a portion (112) of the natural gas bypasses the steam reformer (109) and is blended with the steam reformer effluent for supply to the autothermal reformer (ATR) (118) with C02 recycle (110). A portion of the syngas is fed to C02 removal (122) to obtain the recycle C02 and cold box (130) to obtain a hydrogen stream (131) and a CO stream (135). The remaining syngas, hydrogen stream (131) and C02 from an associated process are fed to methanol synthesis (140), which produces methanol and a purge stream (124) supplied to the C02 removal unit. The methanol is supplied to an acetic acid unit (13)6 with the CO (135) to make acetic acid, which in turn is supplied to a VAM synthesis unit (148). Oxygen for both the ATR and VAM synthesis can be supplied by a common air separation unit (116), and utilities such as steam generation can further integrate the process.
