Methods for the ozonolysis of organic compounds

摘要

A method for producing ozone for use in ozonolysis reactions. Oxygen is separated from the mixture of ozone and oxygen from an ozone generation unit and is fed back to the oxygen feed to the generation unit. Nitrogen is fed to the ozone separation unit and the mixture of nitrogen and ozone is fed to the ozonation reactor where the ozone will react with organic compounds to produce desired end products.

主权项

1. A method for generating ozone for use in ozonolysis of organic compounds comprising the steps of:
a) feeding liquid oxygen to a heat exchanger thereby forming gaseous oxygen; b) feeding gaseous oxygen to an ozone generator; c) feeding a mixture of ozone and oxygen to an ozone separation unit; d) feeding liquid nitrogen to a temperature control unit whereby said liquid nitrogen is heated and becomes gaseous; e) feeding said gaseous nitrogen to said ozone separation unit; f) feeding a mixture of ozone and nitrogen to an ozonation reactor; and g) transferring cooling from said temperature control unit to a cooling jacket surrounding said ozonation reactor.
