WATER-ALKALI DEHYDROCHLORINATION CATALYST PREPARATION METHOD Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: organic synthesis catalysts.

SUBSTANCE: catalyst is prepared from allyl chloride production wastes comprising 30-50% 1,3-dichloropropenes, 30-60% 1,2-dichloropropane, and 3-5% 1,2,3-trichloropropane, which are treated at 5-10°C with 30-50% dimethylamine aqueous solution in such amount as to ensure stoichiometric ratio of dimethylamine with respect to 1,3-dichloropropenes. Resulting mixture is held at 20-25°C for 0.5-1.0 h and then 40-44 sodium hydroxide solution is added in stoichiometric amount regarding dimethylamine, after which clarified waste is added to dimethylamine at 60-70°C and stirring in amount ensuring stoichiometric ratio of dimethylamine to 1,3-dichloropropenes contained in clarified waste. Mixture is aged for 2-3 h, organic phase is separated, and remaining interaction phase is supplemented by C₁-C₄-alcohol or benzyl alcohol at alcohol-to-dimethylamine molar ratio 1:(1-3).

EFFECT: reduced expenses on starting materials.
