  • Patent number: 11332431
    Abstract: A device for manufacturing dimethyl carbonate including a reaction section and a separation section is provided. The reaction section includes a first distillation column, a methanol supply device, a carbon dioxide supply device, a dehydrating agent supply device, and a side reactor. The methanol supply device is connected to the first distillation column. The carbon dioxide supply device is connected to the first distillation column. The dehydrating agent supply device is connected to the first distillation column. A feed nozzle of the side reactor is connected to a gas outlet of a top of the first distillation column. A discharge nozzle of the side reactor is connected to a recycle nozzle of the first distillation column. A catalyst is disposed in the side reactor. The separation section includes a second distillation column. The second distillation column is connected to a liquid outlet of a bottom of the first distillation column.

  • Patent number: 10570254
    Abstract: A preparation method of a polyurethane resin including the following steps is provided. A liquid polyamine compound is placed in a continuous reaction system, and the liquid polyamine compound is circulated in the continuous reaction system. A solid bis(cyclic carbonate) and a solid catalyst are placed in the continuous reaction system to mix the solid bis(cyclic carbonate), solid catalyst, and liquid polyamine compound to form a heterogeneous mixture. The heterogeneous mixture is heated in the continuous reaction system in a microwave manner, such that the heterogeneous mixture reacts to form a polyurethane resin.

  • Patent number: 10364162
    Abstract: A system and a method for treating salt-containing glycerin wastewater are provided, wherein the system for treating the salt-containing glycerin wastewater includes a mixing tank, a filtering device, a distillation column, and a water supply device. The mixing tank is adapted to mix salt-containing glycerin wastewater with a concentrated hydrochloric acid to obtain a mixture. The filtering device communicates with the mixing tank and filters the mixture to obtain an acidic filtrate and a precipitated salt. The distillation column communicates with the filtering device and receives the acidic filtrate from the filtering device. The water supply device supplies water to the acidic filtrate. The system and method for treating the salt-containing glycerin wastewater can effectively recycle hydrochloric acid.
