Preparation methods of gamma-Butyrolactone 96-48-0
In industry, the synthesis of gamma-Butyrolactone is mainly through the esterification of 4-hydroxybutyric acid itself. In addition, there are other ways.
Maleic anhydride hydrogenation method
This method is an advanced process developed in 70s. Butylene oxide and gamma-Butyrolactone can be produced at any proportion by a hydrogenation reaction, the usual proportion is 3:1 or 4:1. The production enterprise is more, but the scale is small.
Dehydrogenation of 1,4-butanediol
The reactor is tubular. The reaction temperature is controlled at 230-240℃. The product is crude product of gamma-Butyrolactone, final products can be obtained by reduced pressure distillation.
1,4-butanediol catalysis
The raw material is 1,4-butanediol, the first step is preheat, 1,4-butanediol reacts with hydrogen in the presence of copper catalyst. The temperature is controlled at 230-240℃, get the crude product of gamma-Butyrolactone, final products obtained by reduced pressure distillation.
Succinic anhydride hydrogenation dehydration
Now succinic anhydride has got by the hydrogenation of maleic anhydride, further gamma-Butyrolactone is obtained by hydrogenation dehydration.
Allyl alcohol method
Storage and transportation method of gamma-Butyrolactone 96-48-0
Store in a cool, ventilated storeroom. Stay away from fire and heat. gamma-Butyrolactone should be stored separately, separate from oxidant, acid, alkali, and edible chemicals. Equipped with the corresponding variety and quantity of fire equipment. The storage area should be equipped with leakage emergency treatment equipment and suitable collection materials.
