摘要:
A process is described for the preparation of dialkyl carbonates by oxidative carbonylation of the corresponding alcohol in the presence of a copper-containing catalyst at elevated temperature and elevated pressure, which process permits simple separation of the copper-containing catalyst by sedimentation, and of the reaction water in the case of methanol by simple distillation from the reaction solution.
摘要:
A process is described for working up liquid reaction mixtures such as are formed during dimethyl carbonate preparation by oxidative carbonylation of methanol in the presence of a copper-containing catalyst, which process permits a simple separation of the water of reaction from the dimethyl carbonate. In this process, in a first distillation column, the water of reaction is taken from the bottom of the column; the top product from the first column is separated in a second column, under increased pressure, into dimethyl carbonate as bottom product and into a top product which is predominantly composed of methanol. The top product from the distillative working-up in the second column, which is predominantly composed of methanol, is recycled to the reaction process.
摘要:
The invention relates to a process for the continuous preparation of diaryl carbonates by reaction of an aromatic hydroxyl compound with carbon monoxide and oxygen in the presence of a catalyst containing a noble metal of group VIIIb of the Periodic Table of the Elements, a quaternary salt, a cocatalyst and a base. The catalyst is activated by treatment with carbon monoxide in the liquid phase. The reaction water is removed by excess reaction gas.
摘要:
Organic carbonates containing at least one aromatic ester group can be obtained in a continuous manner from carbonates containing at least one aliphatic ester group and a phenolic compound in the presence of a transesterification catalyst known per se by carrying out the reaction in at least two stirred containers connected one behind the other in such a way that, in each case, the phenolic compound is metered in liquid form into the first stirred container and the carbonate containing at least one aliphatic ester group is metered in liquid form into one or more of the stirred containers. The carbonate containing at least one aromatic ester group is removed in liquid form from the last stirred container. Volatile reaction products, for example alcohol which has been cleaved out or a dialkyl carbonate are removed in gaseous form from one or more stirred containers.

Organic carbonates which contain at least one aromatic ester group can be obtained continuously from carbonates, which contain at least one aliphatic ester group, and a phenolic compound in the presence of a transesterification catalyst known per se in that the reaction is carried out in a bubble column reactor or in a cascade of at least two bubble column reactors in such a way that the phenolic compound is metered into the first bubble column and the carbonate containing at least one aliphatic ester group is metered into each individual bubble column, but preferably only into the last bubble column. The carbonate containing at least one aromatic ester group is taken off in the liquid state from the last bubble column. Volatile reaction products, for example eliminated alcohol or a dialkyl carbonate are taken off at the upper end of each individual bubble column, preferably at the upper end of the first bubble column.

Catalyst systems with a content of a platinum-group-metal catalyst, a co-catalyst, a quaternary salt and a base for the oxidative carbonylation of aromatic hydroxy compounds to the corresponding diaryl carbonates are obtained according to the invention as a residual melt by melt crystallization and can be returned into the carbonylation reaction or worked up to valuable materials. The melt crystallizate, which consists predominantly of diaryl carbonate and the parent aromatic hydroxy compound, is worked up to pure diaryl carbonate and pure hydroxy compound.
摘要:
The invention relates to a process for preparing a diaryl carbonate by oxidative carbonylation of the basic aromatic hydroxy compound, in which the aromatic hydroxy compound is the one which is eliminated during melt polycondensation of this diaryl carbonate with a bisphenol. Accordingly the invention also relates to the preparation of polycarbonates by melt polycondensation of diaryl carbonates with bisphenols in which the aromatic hydroxy compounds which is eliminated is used again to prepare the diaryl carbonate. In the event that the aromatic hydroxy compound eliminated is also the basic unit in the bisphenol used, proportions of it may be used to prepare both the diaryl carbonate and the bisphenol.
摘要:
Diaryl carbonate and an aromatic hydroxy compound are simultaneously separated from a crude reaction mixture for producing diaryl carbonates by oxidative carbonylation of the aromatic hydroxy compound and containing the diaryl carbonate and excess hydroxy compound together with the catalyst system, consisting of a noble-metal catalyst, co-catalyst, quaternary salt and a base. The crude reaction mixture is mixed with a covalent aprotic extraction agent, a phase separation is carried out into a donor phase containing the catalyst system and a recipient phase containing the diaryl carbonate and the hydroxy compound in concentrated form, and the diaryl carbonate and the hydroxy compound are isolated from the recipient phase.

In the process for preparing an aromatic carbonate from an aromatic hydroxy compound, CO and O2 in the presence of a quaternary salt and a base using a platinum metal catalyst and a cocatalyst, use is advantageously made of supported catalysts containing, in the reaction-ready state, (i) a platinum metal, a platinum metal halide or a platinum metal halide complex and (ii) a metal compound acting as cocatalyst from groups IB, IIB, IIIA, IIIB, IVA, IVB, VB, VIB, VIIB, the iron group (atomic numbers 26-28) or the rare earth metals (atomic numbers 58-71) of the Periodic Table of the Elements (Mendeleev), each in an amount of 0.01-15% by weight, calculated as metal and based on the total weight of the catalyst.
