PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF PERCARBOXYLIC ACIDS

摘要

A process for the preparation of percarboxylic acids by the action of hydrogen peroxide on water miscible carboxylic acids in the presence of a boric acid catalyst and a solvent capable of forming a heteroazeotrope with the water and continuously eliminating the water which may have been added with the hydrogen peroxide and the water formed during the reaction by azeotropic distillation.
