Absorption of carbon dioxide into glycidyl methacrylate solution with quaternary onium salts

摘要

Carbon dioxide was absorbed into organic solutions of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) in a semi-batch stirred tank with a plane gas-liquid interface at 101.3 kPa to measure absorption rates of carbon dioxide, from which the reaction kinetics between carbon dioxide and GMA with quaternary onium salts as catalysts was obtained. The reaction rate constants were estimated by the mass transfer mechanism accompanied by the pseudo-first-order reaction method. An empirical correlation formula between the reaction rate constants and the solubility parameters of solvents such as toluene, N-methyl-2-pirrolidinone, and dimethyl sulfoxide was presented.
