Solventless ketalization of glycerol to solketal with acetone over the ionic liquid[P(C4H9)3C14H29][TsO]

The ketalization of glycerol with acetone was conducted over an ionic liquid[P(C4H9)3C14H29][TsO](TTPT)in a batch reactor.A scheme to obtain the purified product using TTPT as a homogeneous catalyst is proposed and a maximum solketal yield of 86%is achieved at acetone/glycerol molar ratio of 6/1,reaction time of 0.5 h,reaction temperature of 303 K,catalyst amount of 5 wt%of glycerol.TTPT was recycled and reused for ten times without obvious losses in terms of quantity and activity.Furthermore,effects of various experimental parameters(stirring speed,catalyst loadings,temperature and reactant composition)on the reaction kinetics are investigated.In terms of kinetics modeling,Kγis fitted by reactant composition at the temperature range 298 K–323 K,which was a concise strategy that showed good precision in the kinetics fitting.The activation energy for this ketalization reaction was evaluated to be 28.2 kJ·mol^-1.In addition,the kinetics of the reaction at a temperature exceeding the boiling point of acetone were also studied.We believe that all the results are important for further development of a technology for the continuous synthesis of solketal.

Fe doped aluminoborate PKU-1 catalysts for the ketalization of glycerol to solketal: Unveiling the effects of iron composition and boron

An inexpensive Fe doped aluminoborate consisted of 18% Fe in PKU-1 material that exhibits high selectivity of 4-hydroxymethy-2,2-dimethyl^(-1),3-dioxolane (Solketal, 98.3%), considerable activity (TOF 51.7 h-1), and recyclable ability in the ketalization of glycerol to Solketal with acetone at 318 K has been developed. Our study demonstrated that the structure of Fe (less agglomerated iron species vs. FeO clusters) can be tuned by changing Fe loading in the PKU-1 material, which correlated well with experimental observations. Furthermore, the surface boron sites were promoted by iron loading and behaved as Lewis-acid sites to facilitate the reaction process of glycerol ketalization, while the Solketal selectivity was closely related with the structure of iron species in PKU-1, which was proved by kinetic studies, density function theory (DFT) calculations, and a series of spectroscopy studies. This investigation demonstrates that the surface B sites can play important roles in the reaction instead of being spectators.

Vapor-Phase Transport Synthesis of MnSAPO-34 and Its Catalytic Properties

MnSAPO-34 molecular sieves were synthesized by vapor-phase transport （VPT） method using triethylamine （Et3N） as a structure directing agent （SDA）, and were characterized by XRD, BET, SEM, UV-Vis, FT-IR, and TG analy- ses. The influence of the zeolite crystallization conditions and the dry-gel composition were investigated. The results showed that the synthesis conditions had an effect on the crystalline phase. Pure MnSAPO-34 had been obtained when it was crystallized at 140 C for 18 hours. The ratio of MnO/A1203 in the starting gel ranging from 0.1 to 0.2 resulted in pure MnSAPO-34 with a CHA topology. Beyond this scope, MnSAPO-5 with an AFI topology structure was obtained as an impurity substance. UV-Vis spectroscopy and FT-IR spectroscopy study indicated that manganese was incorporated into the framework of the molecular sieve. The catalytic performance of MnSAPO-34 molecular sieve was tested by ketalization reaction of l, 2-propanediol with cyclohexanone. High yield of cyclohexanone-1, 2-propanediol ketal was obtained.

PHOTOINITIATED CROSSLINKING OF EPDM/INORGANIC FILLER BLENDS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF RELATED PROPERTIES

Photoinitiated crosslinking of ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer （EPDM） blends filled with calcium carbonate, talc and calcined kaolin （CK） in the presence of benzil dimethyl ketal as photoinitiator and trimethylolpropane triacrylate as crosslinker and their related properties have been studied by different analytical methods, The results from gel content and heat extension determination show that the efficiency ofphotocrosslinking of EPDM increases with increasing the content of diene and its molecular weight. The EPDM blends with 100 phr different inorganic fillers can be photocrosslinked to gel content of above 60% by 5 s UV-irradiation under optimum conditions. Under the same conditions of irradiation, the orders of photocrosslinking rate and final gel content are EPDM/CaCO3 〉 EPDM/talc 〉 EPDM/CK. The data from thermogravimetric analysis, dynamic mechanical thermal analysis, electrical properties, mechanical tests and scanning electron microscopy show that UV irradiation crosslinking apparently enhances the thermal stability, mechanical properties and electrical properties of the photocrosslinked EPDM/inorganic filler samples. Although the attenuated total-reflection FTIR data show that inorganic fillers can promote the surface photo-oxidation of EPDM/inorganic filler samples with increasing the irradiation time, the above related properties of the photocrosslinked EPDM blends irradiated within 5 s are enough to satisfy many applications in the cable industry.
