Methylation reaction
Thread Content
Have any experts worked with fixed-bed tubular reactors for liquid-liquid methylation or alkylation reactions? Or a liquid-liquid reaction – with a reaction pressure of 2.5–4.0 MPa. A reaction at a temperature of around 200-300°C. Or those who are aware of such a reaction. Thank you. It’s best if it’s in mass production.
I’m not sure whether such strict conditions are necessary for the methylation reaction (we have carried out one where both pressure and temperature were not high), but the conditions for alkylation are roughly similar. For large-scale production of alkylated products, such as the alkylation of aniline to produce 2,6-diethylaniline, or the alkylation of o-toluenine to produce 2-methyl-6-ethylaniline, these reactions take place either as liquid-liquid reactions or gas-liquid reactions. They are all reaction vessels, reaction towers, or jet-loop reactors. They are all mature technologies; I’m not sure what kind of product you are working on – is there any comparability?
