Abstract

Acetaldol containing acetaldehyde, neutralized to a pH to 6.5 to 7.5, is passed in the form of a liquid film over a surface heated to a temperature of 90 DEG to 110 DEG C., the contact time being adjusted to a value not exceeding that required to reduce the concentration of acetaldehyde in the liquid to the equilibrium concentration at the temperature employed. The preferred contact times are from 0.5 to 5 seconds. The process may be carried out in a climbing film evaporator such as an S-shaped copper tube ( 1/4 inch to 3/8 inch I.D.) 3 feet long, the middle part of which is vertical and provided with a steam-jacket. Crude acetaldol, containing not more than 70 per cent aldol, is fed in at the bottom at such a rate that the evolution of acetaldehyde is rapid enough to cause the liquid to climb upwards as a film. The vapours and concentrated liquid are discharged into a wider heat-insulated tube wherein they are separated, the latter being withdrawn to a cooler to prevent crotonisation. A series of parallel tubes connected at the bottom to a single feed tube, and at the top to a single separator, may be used in place of the S-shaped tube. A second stage operating under reduced pressure may be employed, if desired. Specification 573,334, [Group IV], is referred to.ALSO:Acetaldol containing acetaldehyde is concentrated by neutralizing it to a pH of 6.5 to 7.5 and then passing it in the form of a liquid film over a surface heated to a temperature of 90 DEG to 110 DEG C., the contact time being adjusted to a value not exceeding that required to reduce the concentration of acetaldehyde in the liquid to the equilibrium concentration at the temperature employed. The preferred contact times are from 0.5 to 5 seconds. The purified acetaldol so obtained has a high degree of reactivity and may be readily hydrogenated to 1.3-butylene glycol at atmospheric pressure and at 70 DEG C. using a Raney nickel catalyst. The purified acetaldol may be rapidly oxidized to betahydroxybutyric acid by treating it between 50 DEG and 80 DEG C. with oxygen in the presence of an oxygen - carrier catalyst. Specification 573,334 is referred to.
