Abstract

<PICT:0446614/IV/1> Alcohols are produced from ethylene or propylene by absorption in sulphuric acid, under suitable conditions so as to obtain an acid reaction mixture containing a substantial proportion of dialkyl sulphate, distilling off the dialkyl sulphate under reduced pressure, such as 20 mm. and hydrolyzing the dialkyl sulphate, the dilute acid remaining after the separation of the alcohol being capable of reconcentration without loss as it is free from carbon. The absorption of ethylene may be effected with sulphuric acid of 95--96 per cent at 70--80 DEG C. under pressure such as 300 lbs. When in the course of the process carbonaceous materials accumulate in the reaction liquor, it may be diluted and hydrolyzed in the usual manner and the alcohol distilled off; a large proportion of the carbonaceous materials can then be mechanically separated for instance by a sand filter before reconcentrating the acid. Preferably, the absorption of ethylene is stopped when about 1,5 molecules have been absorbed per molecule of sulphuric acid, using 96 per cent acid at 80 DEG C.; with 98--100 per cent acid the amount absorbed may be 1,75--1,8 molecules. In an example, ethylene is absorbed in sulphuric acid in an absorber 4, the gas entering at 6. The absorption liquor is taken through a pipe 9 to a tower or chamber 11 to allow dissolved gas to escape by a pipe 12; the liquor then passes to a vacuum still 15 of suitable type, the diethyl sulphate vapour being condensed at 18 and led to a hydrolyzer 35, alcohol being separated in a still 31. The residual acid from the still 15 may be led back to the absorber 4 or passed to a hydrolyzer 26, the alcohol being distilled off in the still 31. Specifications 157,578, 175,077, and 336,681, [all in Class 2 (iii)], are referred to.
