  • Patent number: 8697884
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing cyclic carbonate comprises a step of “preparation,” by preparing an ionic liquid polymer; and a step of “cyclization,” by feeding carbon dioxide and epoxide into a reactor containing the ionic liquid polymer to conduct a cyclization of the carbon dioxide and the epoxide in a batch or continuous reaction manner under the catalysis of the ionic liquid polymer, and finally to produce cyclic carbonate.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20130035497
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing cyclic carbonate with carbon dioxide including the steps of placing solid catalyst in a reaction tube, vaporizing epoxide molecules within a buffer tank to obtain an epoxide vapor, and injecting carbon dioxide into the buffer tank. The carbon dioxide mixes with the epoxide vapor in the buffer tank to obtain an air mixture. The air mixture is then conducted into the reaction tube, where catalysis by the solid catalyst generates cyclic carbonate.
