Patent number: 7777067Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide, for the case of continuously producing aromatic carbonates containing a diaryl carbonate as a main product by taking an alkyl aryl carbonate as a starting material, which is obtainable through a transesterification reaction between a dialkyl carbonate and an aromatic monohydroxy compound, using a continuous multi-stage distillation column in which a catalyst is present, and continuously feeding the starting material into the continuous multi-stage distillation column, a specific process that enables the diaryl carbonate to be produced with high selectivity and high productivity stably for a prolonged period of time on an industrial scale of not less than 1 ton per hour.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2005Date of Patent: August 17, 2010Assignee: Asahi Kasei Chemicals CorporationInventors: Shinsuke Fukuoka, Hiroshi Hachiya, Kazuhiko Matsuzaki

Publication number: 20100197952Abstract: Processes for producing diaryl carbonates are disclosed, where such processes may provide for the production of diaryl carbonates from green house gases, such as carbon dioxide. The processes disclosed advantageously integrate diethyl carbonate and diaryl carbonate production, eliminating the need for solvent-based extractive distillation, as is commonly required when producing diaryl carbonates from dimethyl carbonate, providing for the integration of separation equipment and raw material usage, and reducing the operating and capital requirements for such processes. In some embodiments, processes disclosed herein may be operated essentially closed-loop with respect to ethanol usage, for example.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 31, 2009Publication date: August 5, 2010Applicant: Catalytic Distillation TechnologiesInventor: J.

Patent number: 7732629Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the preparation of a diaryl carbonate by transesterification of an aromatic alcohol with a dialkyl carbonate in the presence of a transesterification catalyst during a period of time [ta], in which the aryl moiety is selected from unsubstituted phenyl and mono-, di- and trisubstituted phenyl groups, in which the alkyl moiety is selected from C2 to C4 linear and branched alkyl groups, in which the catalyst concentration is designated [ca], expressed as gram catalyst per gram of aromatic alcohol and dialkyl carbonate, in which the period of time [tm] and catalyst concentration [cm] are determined to arrive at a pre-set approach to the equilibrium for the transesterification of the aromatic alcohol with dimethyl carbonate to methyl aryl carbonate and methanol, in which the product [ca]*ta is at least 1.5*[cm]*tm under otherwise the same reaction conditions.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2008Date of Patent: June 8, 2010Assignee: Shell Oil CompanyInventors: Evert Van Der Heide, Timothy Michael Nisbet, Garo Garbis Vaporciyan, Cornelis Leonardus Maria Vrouwenvelder
