What to do if propylene oxide and carbon dioxide evaporate too much during the reaction at atmospheric pressure?
Thread Content
During the reaction of propylene oxide and carbon dioxide at atmospheric pressure, due to the very low boiling point of propylene oxide, it volatilizes significantly during the reaction; moreover, varying flow rates of carbon dioxide can also cause significant loss of propylene oxide, resulting in a low yield. What can be done?
React under pressure, or remove the heat of reaction in a timely manner.
