摘要:
The invention relates to a process for preparing polyether alcohols by catalytic addition of alkylene oxides onto a starter substance mixture comprising water-soluble H-functional starter substances which are solid at room temperature, alcohols which are liquid at the reaction temperature and water using alkali metal hydroxides and/or alkaline earth metal hydroxides as catalysts, wherein the amount of water is from 1.0 to 6.0% by weight, based on the weight of the starter substance mixture, and the starter substance mixture comprises no amine constituents.
摘要:
Process for preparing polyether polyols having an end block of ethylene oxide by addition of alkylene oxides onto H-functional starter substances, in which A) a polyether polyol precursor is prepared by means of double metal cyanide (DMC) catalysis in a semicontinuous mode of operation in which previously prepared polyether polyol together with the DMC catalyst are placed in a reactor and H-functional starter substance and propylene oxide are added continuously, B) the polyether polyol precursor from stage A) is reacted with propylene oxide or an ethylene oxide/propylene oxide mixture in the presence of the DMC catalyst in a continuously operating reactor to give a polyether polyol intermediate, C) the intermediate from stage B) is mixed with an alkali metal hydroxide as catalyst and D) reacted with ethylene oxide in a continuously operating reactor to give the final product, E) the catalyst is separated off from the final product obtained in stage D).
