Reactive Recovery of Dimethyl Carbonate from Dimethyl Carbonate/Methanol Mixtures

摘要

A method of producing a carbonate product including mixing a DMC and methanol mixture with an alcohol, reacting the DMC with the alcohol to form carbonate product, and removing a substantial portion of unreacted DMC and methanol. In one embodiment, the method may be repeated to reach a desired alcohol conversion by adding more DMC and methanol mixture.
