Abstract

<PICT:0499398/IV/1> Secondary alcohols are made by treating a gaseous or liquid olefine with aqueous sulphuric acid of 1-84 per cent, removing the solution to another vessel, and, without adding water, distilling off the alcohol, using heat or live steam and then adjusting the acid to its original value by adding water if the distillation was effected without steam. The partial pressure of the olefine may be 2-200 lb. The olefine is passed into an absorption tower 1 containing the sulphuric acid, by a pipe 3 at a partial pressure of at least 2 lb. Oil layers may be maintained on the surface of the aqueous acid in the tower 1. The acid is admitted by a pipe 6 and flows downwardly. It then passes to a stripping-tower 8. The tower 1 may be maintained at 30-130 DEG C. and the tower 8 is heated by a coil 10 or by live steam from a pipe 11. Alcohol and some ether pass by a pipe 17 to a fractionating tower 18 and the ether separated is returned to the absorption tower 1. When live steam is not employed for the distillation, water is added at the pipe 6 to restore the original concentration of the acid. The invention is described with reference to the production of isopropyl alcohol. Specifications 408,224, 428,792, and 499,490 are referred to. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 is not limited to the production of secondary alcohols or to the use of aqueous sulphuric acid. Other catalysts mentioned are phosphoric, hydrochloric and acetic acids and salts such as zinc and aluminium chlorides. The process is not limited to the use of two separate chambers. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
