SINGLE-STAGE PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF 1,1-DIETHOXYETHANE

摘要

A single-stage process for the preparation of 1,1-diethoxyethane involves vapor-phase heterogeneous catalytic transformation of ethanol by passing vaporous ethanol through reactor with heterogeneous solid catalyst. The process is conducted in two flow reactor connected in series with different catalysts. Copper-bearing oxide and acid catalyst are used as catalysts.
