Abstract

Solvent-free direct preparation of dichloropropanol (DCP) from glycerol (by-product of bio-diesel production) and hydrochloric acid gas was carried out over acetin catalyst in a gas-liquid batch reactor. For this purpose, acetin mixture and triacetin were used as a homogeneous acetin catalyst. Performance in the acetin-catalyzed reaction was compared to that in the non-catalytic reaction under the same reaction conditions ($110^{\circ}C$, 3 bar, 3 h). Conversion of glycerol in the acetin-catalyzed reactions was ca. 3% higher than that in the non-catalytic reaction, and selectivity for dichloropropanol in the acetin-catalyzed reactions was ca. 50% higher than that in the non-catalytic reaction. It was also revealed that the catalytic performance of triacetin was ca. 2% higher than that of acetic mixture.

아세틴 촉매상에서 글리세롤(바이오디젤 제조과정의 부산물)과 염화수소 가스로부터 무용매 상태로 디클로로프로판올(DCP)을 직접 제조하는 반응을 기상-액상 회분식 반응기에서 수행하였다. 이를 위해 균일계 아세틴 촉매로 아세틴 혼합물(acetin mixture)과 트리아세틴을 사용하였다. 아세틴 촉매의 활성을 동일한 반응조건($110^{\circ}C$, 3 bar, 3시간)에서 수행된 무촉매 상태에서의 반응성과 비교하였다. 무촉매 반응에 비해 아세틴촉매를 사용한 반응에서 글리세롤의 전환율은 3%정도 증가하였으며 디클로로프로판올의 선택도는 50%가량 증가하였다. 또한 아세틴 혼합물보다는 트리아세틴의 촉매활성이 2% 정도 우수한 것으로 나타났다.
