REACTIVE RECOVERY OF DIMETHYL CARBONATE FROM DIMETHYL CARBONATE/METHANOL MIXTURES

摘要

To provide a processing method for effective utilization of a mixture of dimethyl carbonate (DMC) and methanol.SOLUTION: A method of producing a carbonate product includes: mixing a DMC and methanol mixture with an alcohol; reacting the DMC with the alcohol to form a carbonate corresponding to the alcohol; and removing a substantial portion of unreacted DMC and methanol. In a method, the method of producing the product is repeated by adding an additional DMC and methanol mixture.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
