    摘要: Disclosed are methods for purifying polyols containing oxyalkylene units that is an alkali metal catalyzed alkoxylation reaction product of an alkylene oxide and an H-functional starter. The methods include neutralizing the alkali metal ions with an aqueous solution comprising water and sulfuric acid, in which: (i) the sulfuric acid is present in an amount of no more than 5% by weight, based on the total weight of the aqueous solution, and (ii) the sulfuric acid is used in an amount of 2% to 10% more than the theoretical amount necessary to neutralize all of the alkali metal ions present. The methods can produce polyols having a low content of 2-methyl-2-pentenal.

    摘要: Processes and production plants for preparing a polyol. The process includes continuously producing an intermediate polyol in a first reactor, b) continuously discharging the intermediate polyol from the first reactor, continuously mixing the intermediate polyol with an aqueous solutions of alkali metal to provide a mixture comprising the intermediate polyol, alkali metal, and water, continuously dehydrating the mixture comprising intermediate polyol, alkali metal, and water, thereby continuously producing a dehydrated mixture comprising the intermediate polyol and the alkali metal, transferring the dehydrated mixture to a second reactor, and producing the polyether polyol in the second reactor by feeding an alkylene oxide to the second reactor to thereby react the intermediate polyol with the alkylene oxide in the presence of the alkali metal.
