摘要:
Polyoxyalkylene glycols are prepared by a process in which tetrahydrofuran is polymerized with a total of not more than 95 mol %, based on the amount of tetrahydrofuran used, of one or more comonomers from the group consisting of the cyclic ethers and acetals in the absence of water and in the presence of a monohydric alcohol or of a monocarboxylic acid with the aid of an anhydrous heteropoly acid catalyst, and the polyoxyalkylene glycol is liberated from the resulting polyoxyalkylene glycol monoethers or polyoxyalkylene glycol monoesters by cleavage of the monoether or monoester bond.

摘要:
The average molecular weight of polyoxyalkylene glycols and polyoxyalkylene glycol derivatives is adjusted in the heteropolyacid-catalyzed polymerization of cyclic ethers and/or acetals with ring cleavage in the presence of proton donors by a process in which the amount of the relevant proton donor present in the reaction system is regulated in the course of the reaction by the measurement of the electrical conductivity.

摘要:
A process is described for the purification of crude polyalkylene ether glycols contaminated by heteropolyacids or salts thereof, by treatment with solvents, which comprises mixing the crude polyalkylene ether glycols with a liquid hydrocarbon and water, allowing the phases to separate, and isolating the purified polyalkylene ether glycols from the upper phase.
