MZ Solid Catalysts for Synthesis of 1-Methoxy-2-Propanol with High Selectivity

Abstract:

This document explains and demonstrates the problem of Methanol and propylene oxide propoxylation, ZrO₂ load active alkali metal oxides MgO the catalytic propoxylation method, analyzed a new type of catalyst activity and selectivity. The results show that the synthesis of MZ complex oxide as a catalyst for the reaction of Methanol substrate, through the catalytic reaction of propylene oxide, selective access to the propylene glycol ether, High selectivity synthesis 1-Methoxy-2-propanol. Synthesis of complex oxide catalyst MZ series in the course of the performance of the primary ether good selectivity, Primary ether, second ether ratio greater than 12, and the catalytic activity is also high (about 91% of all).
