PURIFICATION OF RECYCLED 1,3-PROPANEDIOL DURING POLYESTER PREPARATION

A PROCESS FOR PREPARING A 1, 3-PROPANEDIOL-BASED POLYESTER IN WHICH A CARBONYL-CONTAINING 1, 3-PROPANEDIOL STREAM IS PURIFIED FOR REUSE OF THE 1, 3-PROPANEDIOL. THE PROCESS INVOLVES REACTING UNDER CONDENSATION POLYMERIZATION CONDITIONS, TEREPHTHALIC ACID AND A MOLAR EXCESS OF 1, 3-PROPANEDIOL, WITH...

Zusammenfassung:A PROCESS FOR PREPARING A 1, 3-PROPANEDIOL-BASED POLYESTER IN WHICH A CARBONYL-CONTAINING 1, 3-PROPANEDIOL STREAM IS PURIFIED FOR REUSE OF THE 1, 3-PROPANEDIOL. THE PROCESS INVOLVES REACTING UNDER CONDENSATION POLYMERIZATION CONDITIONS, TEREPHTHALIC ACID AND A MOLAR EXCESS OF 1, 3-PROPANEDIOL, WITH DISTILLATION AND CONDENSATION OF A MAJOR PORTION OF THE UNREACTED 1, 3-PROPANEDIOL. TO THIS CONDENSED STREAM IS ADDED A SUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF BASE TO RAISE THE PH TO A VALUE GREATER THAN 7, AND FROM THIS BASE-CONTAINING CONDENSATE THE 1, 3-PROPANEDIOL IS DISTILLED AND RECYCLED TO THE POLYMERIZATION REACTION.
