Process for preparing 2-mercaptoethanol

摘要

Process for preparing 2-mercaptoethanol by reaction of ethylene oxide with dehidrógeno sulfide in the presence of a catalyst and / or solvent at elevated temperatures and under superatmospheric, characterized pressure because the reaction is carried out in a reaction zone microstructured channels paralelosde an internal surface area of ​​a total of more than 2000 m2 / m3, mixing together the ethylene oxide elsulfuro hydrogen and catalyst or the solvent, and transported to the reaction zone in liquid fasehomogénea under pressure 4-250 bar and reacting at a temperature of 40 to 200C in elintervalo 0.1 to 15 min, and discharging the reaction product.
