MANUFACTURE OF TERTIOBUTYL HYDROPEROXIDE FROM RENEWABLE MATERIALS, TERTIOBUTYL HYDROPEROXIDE THUS OBTAINED, AND USES THEREOF

摘要

The present application relates to a method for manufacturing tertiobutyl hydroperoxide that includes the following steps: a) fermenting renewable raw materials and optionally purifying the same to produce a mixture containing at least butanol; b) dehydrating the butanol into butane; c) converting the butane into isobutene; d) reacting the isobutene with hydrogen peroxide so as to produce tertiobutyl hydroperoxide; and e) isolating the tertiobutyl hydroperoxide. The invention also relates to tertiobutyl hydroperoxide containing carbon atoms from renewable resources, to the compositions containing said tertiobutyl hydroperoxide, and also relates to the use thereof as a polymerization initiator.
