摘要:
Ethylene glycol carbonate (EGC) can be obtained in purified form from contaminated material which contains impurities from the production or work-up process, by subjecting it to treatment with activated carbon. The treatment is carried out at 40.degree.-250.degree. C. and at 1-200 bar. The activated carbon has a BET surface area of 200-3,000 m.sup.2 /g.
摘要:
A process is described for the catalytic preparation of propylene glycol carbonate (PGC) by reacting propylene oxide (POX) and CO.sub.2 in PGC as reaction medium at elevated temperature and elevated pressure and separating off from the catalyst the PGC formed. The process is carried out continuously under adiabatic temperature conditions. Per unit of time, PGC as reaction medium flows into the reactor at 7 to 350 times the amount of the PGC formed per unit of time. At all points of the reactor a CO.sub.2 excess is maintained over the other reaction partner POX. Of the effluent reaction mixture, 80 to 98% by weight are returned to the entrance of the reactor, while the remainder is worked up to give PGC. The sensible heat of the reaction product resulting from the adiabatic temperature conditions can be used for the work-up.
摘要:
A bubble column reactor is described which is characterized by a slenderness ratio at a ratio of height to diameter of 2 to 50, a feed, at the bottom end of the bubble column, for the ethylene glycol carbonate (EGG) or propylene glycol carbonate (PGC) already present serving as reaction medium, one or more metering sites for the starting materials CO.sub.2 and ethylene oxide (EOX) or propylene oxide (POX) above the feed for the reaction medium, an outlet for the reaction mixture at the top end of the bubble column, a dividing apparatus connected thereto for the reaction mixture flowing off for dividing it into reaction mixture to be taken off and worked up on the one hand and reaction mixture to be recycled on the other hand and additionally a return line to the feed for the reaction mixture to be recycled. This bubble column reactor can be advantageously used in a process for the continuous preparation of EGG or PGC which is carried out in the temperature range from 100.degree. to 200.degree. C., in the pressure range from 5 to 200 bar and at a molar ratio of 1.01 to 1.5 mol of CO.sub.2 per mol of alkylene oxide in EGG or PGC already present as reaction medium in an amount which is 7 to 350 times that of the newly formed EGG or PGC.
摘要:
A process is described for the catalytic preparation of ethylene glycol carbonate by reaction of ethylene oxide and CO.sub.2 in ethylene glycol carbonate as the reaction medium at elevated temperature and at elevated pressure with work-up by distillation to separate the resulting ethylene glycol carbonate from the catalyst. The process is carried out continuously under adiabatic temperature conditions. Per unit of time, ethylene glycol carbonate as reaction medium runs into the reactor in a amount 10 to 120 times that of ethylene glycol carbonate formed per unit of time. A CO.sub.2 excess over the other reaction partner ethylene oxide is maintained at all sites of the reactor. 80 to 98% by weight of the reaction mixture flowing out is returned to the inlet of the reactor, while the remainder is worked up by distillation to give ethylene glycol carbonate. The sensible heat produced in the reaction product as a result of the adiabatic temperature conditions, is used for the work-up.
摘要:
Ethylene glycol carbonate (EGC) can be isolated in purified form from contaminated material which contains impurities from the group comprising starting materials, by-products and/or catalysts of the preparation process in that the contaminated EGC is subjected to a fractional melt crystallization and the crystals of the purified EGC formed in this case are mechanically separated off from the remaining impurities dissolved in the residual melt.
摘要:
Aromatic amines are produced by hydrogenation of the associated aromatic nitro compounds in the gas phase over fixed catalysts. The catalysts contain active hydrogenation metals on supports. The reaction is conducted at a pressure of 2-50 bar and at a temperature in the range 250.degree.-500.degree. C. under adiabatic conditions. A circulating gas is passed over the catalyst, which circulating gas contains 3-150 moles of hydrogen, 2-100 moles of the amino groups to be formed per mole of nitro groups, and 2 to 6 moles of water per amino group equivalent. The amine and water formed, as well as a purification stream, are separated from the circulating gas. Thereafter the circulating gas is enriched with volatilised aromatic nitro compound and fresh hydrogen and recycled.

Di-(C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl) carbonates can be prepared by catalysed counter-current reesterification of ethylene glycol carbonate or propylene glycol carbonate with a C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alcohol in a column, ethylene glycol carbonate or propylene glycol carbonate being introduced into the upper part of the column and a dialkyl carbonate-containing C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alcohol being introduced into the central or lower part of the column and pure alcohol being additionally introduced below the introduction of the dialkyl carbonate-containing alcohol.
摘要:
Diaryl carbonates are prepared from dialkyl carbonates and phenolic compounds by transesterification in the presence of a transesterification catalyst at 60.degree.-320.degree. C. in an apparatus composed of two columns in a continuous procedure. In the first column, the starting materials form essentially the associated alkyl aryl carbonate, from which, in the second column, the diaryl carbonate is produced by further transesterification and disproportionation.
