A PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF ESTERQUATS

摘要

THE PRESENT INNOVATION RELATES TO A PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF ESTERQUATS. THE PROCESS INCLUDES THE STEPS OF TRANSESTERIFICATION OF METHYL ESTER WITH TRIETHANOLAMINE IN THE PRESENCE OF AN ALKALINE CATALYST AT A SUITABLE TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE. THE RESULTING TRIETHANOLAMINE ESTER IS QUATERNIZED WITH A QUATERNIZING AGENT IN THE PRESENCE OF ISOPROPANOL AT A SUITABLE TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE.
