E. Milchert et al., DEHYDROCHLORINATION OF PROPYLENE CHLOROHYDRIN WITH SODIUM-HYDROXIDE AND WITH CATHOLYTE, Journal of chemical technology and biotechnology, 61(3), 1994, pp. 251-254
Dehydrochlorination of an aqueous solution of propylene chlorohydrin w
ith sodium hydroxide (12.5 and 30% by weight), with catholyte (5 or 10
% by weight NaOH + 14% by weight NaCl) and with milk of lime (15% by w
eight) were compared. The use of catholyte (10% by weight NaOH + 14% b
y weight NaCl) enables propylene oxide to be obtained in a yield of 94
.3%, with 100% conversion of chlorohydrin. The concentration of 1,2-pr
opylene glycol in the waste is 0.07% by weight.
