气-液半间歇反应器中甘油氯化:用于生产氯代醇的新型催化剂(英)

Glycerol from biodiesel production can be an important industrial feedstock for chemical commodities as it can be used in the food,cosmetic,pharmaceutical and tobacco industries.However,crude glycerol derived from biodiesel production has a low value because of impurities.The purification of this glycerol into a high grade involves high costs and is not economically feasible for small and medium size plants.The glycerol conversion into chlorohydrins was studied using new homogeneous catalysts and hydrochloric acid as chlorination agent.This is an interesting alternative route to epichlorohydrin and then to epoxy resins.The behavior of two series of homologous catalysts,glycolic acid series(glycolic acid,di-glycolic acid and thio-glycolic acid) and amminoacid series(glutamic acid,aspartic acid and cysteine),were investigated for their activity and selectivity.Glycolic acids were more active than amminoacids.The pK_a values had a strong influence on selectivity(mono-chlorohydrins/di-chlorohydrins) for the amminoacid series,which was not observed for the glycolic acids.A kinetic model and reaction mechanism developed in a previous work were used for interpreting the kinetic runs.
