Abstract: Disclosed is a method for preparing methyl methacrylate (MMA), the method including: (1) separating isobutene containing saturated hydrocarbon (n-butane and iso-butane), via a catalytic distillation process from a stream of C4 hydrocarbons containing butadiene, n-butene, and isobutene; (2) producing methacrolein via a first oxidation reaction of the separated isobutene; (3) producing methacrylic acid via a second oxidation reaction of the produced methacrolein; and (4) esterifying the produced methacrylic acid with methanol. By having a high heat capacity, the amount of nitrogen added is minimized to reduce the size of the reactor and the amount of gas production at a rear end, which has a high economic feasibility due to the effect of reducing investment and investment cost.

Abstract: Disclosed are a reduction method and reduction product of an alkenyl active methylene compound. The reduction reaction comprises the following steps: taking an alkenyl active methylene compound as a substrate, a metal hydride as a reducing agent, and a palladium compound as a catalyst, performing a reduction reaction to obtain a reduction product, and then reducing the alkenyl active methylene compound. The reduction system is a simple method for reducing the alkenyl active methylene compound, and the used hydride and palladium compound catalyst are both reagents that could easily be obtained in a laboratory. Compared with conventional hydrogen hydrogenation methods and reduction methods of reducing agents, the method is easier to operate, higher in safety, mild in conditions, and high in reaction yield, a reaction in a one-pot two-step manner can be achieved, and high atom economy and step economy can be obtained.
Abstract: A method for producing methyl methacrylate including: a distillation step including: supplying a reaction solution, which is obtained by subjecting methacrolein, methanol, and molecular oxygen to oxidative esterification in an oxidative esterification reactor and which contains the methyl methacrylate as a reaction product, to a first distillation column located at downstream of the oxidative esterification reactor, extracting a fraction containing the methacrolein and the methanol from a medium section of the first distillation column, and extracting a column bottom liquid containing the methyl methacrylate from a column bottom of the first distillation column, wherein a concentration of the methanol in the column bottom liquid is 1% by mass or more and 30% by mass or less.
Abstract: A process is described for the preparation of polyglycerol fatty acid esters from a reaction mixture to which a metallic catalyst is added, as well as to a method for the purification of an intermediate synthesis product which contains excess fatty acid in addition to polyglycerol fatty acid esters. Compared with the prior art, a significantly improved yield and a higher process speed is obtained along with more economic use of raw materials, auxiliary materials, solvents and energy.
