    摘要: A process for preparing alkylene glycols including reacting an alkylene oxide with water in the presence of a combination of additives and an anion exchange resin, wherein the combination of additives comprises carbon dioxide and an organic or inorganic base provided in an amount sufficient to maintain a pH of the reaction mixture between about 5.0 and 9.0, with the proviso that, when the base is bicarbonate or carbonate, then the anion exchange resin is a trimethyl benzyl ammonium anion exchange resin. A particularly preferred method of this invention is to react ethylene oxide with water in the presence of a halogenate or bicarbonate-type anionic exchange resin (such as a DOWEX.TM. MSA-1 type resin), carbon dioxide, and sodium hydroxide. Some advantages of this invention are that it provides desirable catalyst lifetime and activity, minimizes resin swelling, and provides a desirable, sustained selectivity to alkylene glycol.

    摘要: A method for operating an epoxide containing system which contains a catalyst is disclosed. The method comprises feeding carbon dioxide to the epoxide containing system at an amount of from 0.01 to 5.0 weight percent; and maintaining the epoxide containing system at a temperature of from 100° C. to 150° C. The catalyst has a half life of at least 40 days at 120° C. The present invention allows anion exchange resins in the bicarbonate form to be used for the hydrolysis of ethylene oxide at temperatures exceeding 100° C. The rate of catalyst swelling is minimized and lifetime of the catalyst enhanced.

    摘要: A method for making glycol in an adiabatic reactor system including feeding water and an epoxide into at least one adiabatic reactor under conditions such that epoxide and the water react to form a glycol product stream. The adiabatic reactor contains a catalyst bed which undergoes swelling during its useful lifetime, and the adiabatic reactor operates under conditions sufficient to reduce the rate of catalyst swelling relative to a non-adiabatic reactor system. Other aspects of the invention include the combination of splitting the feed between multiple adiabatic reactors in combination with the cross exchange of heat between feeds and products with heat exchangers, such that an energy efficient process that provides long catalyst stability and minimal catalyst swelling results.

    摘要: A method for recovering methanol from sulfur-based wood pulping process vapors, which contain at least methanol and dimethyl disulfide. The method involves three steps. The first step consists of introducing the vapors into a first distillation tower at a vapor introduction point. The second step consists of introducing water into the first tower at a point above the vapor introduction point. The third step consists of heating liquid which is in the first tower below the vapor introduction point so that a liquid stream flows from the bottom of the first tower and a gas stream flows from the top of the first tower. The liquid stream contains most of the methanol originally in the vapors. The gas stream contains most of the dimethyl disulfide originally in the vapors. The liquid stream can then be distilled in a second distillation tower by conventional distillation to produce dry methanol. The first and third steps can be combined by introducing sufficiently heated vapors. When the vapors contain more than sixty percent water, then there need be only two steps. The first step consists of introducing the vapors into a first distillation tower at a vapor introduction point. The second step consists of heating liquid which is in the first tower below the vapor introduction point so that a liquid stream flows from the bottom of the first tower and a gas stream flows from the top of the first tower.
