    摘要: A process for electrochemical oxidation of aldehydes to esters is provided. The invention includes electrooxidation at a pH where an intermediate hemiacetal is favored, thereby providing for maximum selectivity to the desired ester and for maximum reaction efficiency. In particular, the invention provides for the electrooxidation of acetaldehyde to methyl acetate. The invention is illustrated with reference reactants native to the carbonylation process for the manufacture of acetic acid. Processes described herein are readily adapted to an industrial scale, particularly for the removal of acetaldehyde from process streams.

    摘要: A low energy process for producing acetic acid by the carbonylation of methanol is disclosed. The process involves a rhodium-catalyzed system operated at less than about 14% water utilizing up to 2 distillation columns. The process is preferably controlled such that the product stream has a low level of propionic acid impurity and the level of aldehyde impurities is minimized by way of aldehyde removal or minimizing aldehyde generation. The level of iodides is controlled by contacting the product, at elevated temperatures, with ion exchange resins. In preferred embodiments, at least one silver or mercury exchanged macroreticular strong acid ion exchange resin is used to purify the product. The high temperature treatment provides the added benefit of controlling the Color Value (Pt—Co units) of the product stream.

    摘要: Disclosed is a method to manufacture high purity acetic acid. Although described in relation to that produced by a low water carbonylation process the present invention is applicable to other mechanisms for production of acetic acid which results in formation of permanganate reducing compounds such as acetaldehyde and its derivatives, and alkyl iodide impurities in intermediate process streams. It has been found that permanganate reducing compounds and alkyl iodides may be conveniently removed from a light phase of an intermediate stream in the reaction process by employing a multiple distillation process coupled with an optional post extraction of acetaldehyde. The distillation process involves first distilling a light phase to concentrate the permanganate reducing compounds, and in particular the acetaldehyde, and then separating the permanganate reducing compounds and alkyl iodides in a second distillation tower. The second distillation serves to remove the permanganate reducing compounds and alkyl iodides from methyl iodide, methyl acetate, and methanol mixture. As an optional third step, the twice distilled stream may be directed to an extractor to recover any remaining quantities of methyl iodide from the aqueous acetaldehyde waste stream. This process affords a final product in greater than 99% purity. It has been found that during shut down of the inventive process, higher molecular weight polymers of acetaldehyde tend to form in the base of the second distillation tower. To avoid or minimize the formation of these polymers, a constant flow of solvent is passed through the base of the column.

    摘要: A process for dehalogenation of alpha halogenated carbonyl compounds and/or the prevention of the formation of such. The process for dehalogenation generally comprises causing there to be in solution the halogenated compound, cuprous ions (such as from cuprous chloride) and hydrogen ions (such as from hydrochloric acid), the process to be conducted in the absence of molecular oxygen, or, if molecular oxygen is present, there being an excess of cuprous ions sufficient to completely react with the molecular oxygen present. The present method can also be used to suppress formation of halogenated carbonyl compounds in processes where conditions exist which favor such formation.

    摘要: The fouling of electrodes of pH meters used in anaerobic bacteria digestion processes may be prevented by intermittently immersing the electrodes in an aqueous bactericidal solution, which bactericidal solution is preferably buffered to a known pH. While immersed in such a buffered bactericidal solution, there is simultaneously accomplished the killing of the bacteria accumulated on the electrode and the calibration of the pH meter.
