Abstract:
A process and reaction vessel for producing alkyl nitrite is disclosed the process comprising (a) contacting nitric oxide, lower alcohol and oxygen in a reaction zone such that alkyl nitrite is formed, said reaction zone comprising a reactor section and a rectification section, (b) supplying a liquid scrubbing agent to an upper portion of the rectification section, (c) withdrawing a gaseous alkyl nitrite product stream from the upper portion of the rectification section, and (d) withdrawing a liquid stream from a lower portion of the reactor section. The reactor section provides intimate vapor-liquid contact sufficient to enhance the conversion of nitric oxide to alkyl nitrite and the rectification section provides sufficient vapor residence time to enhance conversion of oxygen, as well as sufficient rectification capabilities to reduce the amounts of water and nitric acid in the gaseous alkyl nitrite product stream.
Abstract:
2-Perfluoroalkyl ethanols are obtained by reacting 2-perfluoroalkyl ethyliodides with at least the two-fold molar amount of nitric acid of about 70 to 98 percent strength and hydrogenating the intermediates, which are the nitrates of the desired ethanols. The products are useful as starting materials for the production of hydrophobic and oleophobic textile finishing agents, e.g. the polymer acrylates and methacrylates of said 2perfluoroalkyl-ethanols.

Abstract:
A method for producing nitrous acid ester in which nitric oxide, oxygen, and an alcohol are reacted, thereby generating nitrous acid ester includes a step of generating nitrous acid ester by supplying a bottom liquid from a bottom part of the reaction column, and nitric oxide and/or carbon monoxide, a step of supplying nitrous acid ester to the reaction column; a step of supplying a reaction liquid containing water, nitric acid, and the alcohol to a nitric acid condensing column from the reactor; and a step of separating a low-boiling point component by distillation from the reaction liquid under control of a concentration of the alcohol in a condensed liquid being generated at a bottom part of the nitric acid condensing column to be less than 4.0% by weight so as to introduce the condensed liquid into the reactor from the nitric acid condensing column.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to devices and methods for the preparation of amyl nitrite formulations at a point of use location from relatively shelf-stable reagents employing acidic cationic exchange resins.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for producing C1-C4 alkyl nitrite, comprising loading a resin catalyst layer and/or a porous filler layer into a reactor, passing nitrogen oxide, oxygen and C1-C4 alkanol as raw materials through the resin catalyst layer and/or porous filler layer in a counter current, parallel current or cross current manner, reacting under the conditions including a reaction temperature of from 0 to 150° C., a reaction pressure of from −0.09 to 1.5 MPa, a molar ratio of C1-C4 alkanol/nitrogen oxide of 1-100:1, a molar ratio of nitrogen oxide/oxygen of 4-50:1, to obtain an effluent containing C1-C4 alkyl nitrite, wherein said nitrogen oxide is NO, or a mixed gas containing NO and one or more selected from N2O3 and NO2.
Abstract:
An alkyl nitrite is produced with high efficiency by bringing a nitrogen monoxide gas into contact with an aqueous solution of an alkyl alcohol and nitric acid in a reactor 2, which aqueous solution may be a liquid fraction generated in an alkyl nitrite-production process in which an alkyl alcohol is reacted with nitrogen monoxide and oxygen in a reaction column 1.
