Dibenzyl ether oxidation process
Thread Content
We plan to launch a project for benzyl alcohol, but due to the large amount of dibenzyl ether produced as a by-product, and because it is difficult to achieve product quality that meets the standards of the synthetic method through purification, we intend to oxidize it directly into benzaldehyde (using mixed acids, air, etc.). Does anyone know anything about this process? Any relevant literature would also be helpful!
The oxidation reactor and oxidation tower can be used for direct oxidation, and benzaldehyde product is obtained through vacuum distillation
What is an oxidation tower used for? To increase internal and external recirculation, and to carry out preliminary distillation?
