  • PRODUCTION PROCESS FOR DIGLYCIDYL-CAPPED POLYALKYLENE GLYCOLS WITH IN-SITU REMOVAL OF 1,4-DIOXANE
    Publication number: 20180319934
    Abstract: Produce diglycidyl-capped polyalkylene glycol by (a) providing epihalohydrin, a polyalkylene glycol that contains and ethylene oxide component and a Lewis acid; (b) coupling the epihalohydrin to the polyalkylene glycol using the Lewis acid as a catalyst to produce a coupling product; (c) stripping 1,4-dioxane from the coupling product; and (d) epoxidation of the coupling product by addition of a base to form diglycidyl-capped polyalkylene glycol in an organic phase.

  • Process for separating one or more aliphatic diamines from reductive amination reaction solvents and impurities
    Patent number: 9187403
    Abstract: The instant invention provides a process for separating one or more aliphatic diamines from reductive amination reaction solvents and impurities, and aliphatic diamines obtained via such a process. The process for separating one or more aliphatic diamines from reductive amination reaction solvents and impurities according to the instant invention comprises the steps of: (1) feeding one or more cycloaliphatic cyanoaldehydes, hydrogen, ammonia, and optionally one or more solvents into a continuous reductive amination reactor system; (2) contacting said one or more cycloaliphatic cyanoaldehydes, hydrogen, and ammonia with each other in the presence of one or more heterogeneous metal based catalyst systems at a temperature in the range of from 80° C. to about 160° C.
