New Process for Etherification of Glycerol with Isobutene

Abstract:

A process was designed for etherification of glycerol with isobutene based on latest results of kinetic and thermodynamic study. A continuous stirred tank reactor was employed to carry out the reaction. Fresh glycerol was used to extract mono-ethers (ME) of glycerol in the reaction product and then returned to the reactor. Residual glycerol and ME were recovered by water washing and distillation. Isobutene and isobutene dimers were separated from high-ethers in a side draw distillation column. The new process was optimized, and a product yield of 97 wt% was obtained.
