3-methyl-but-3-en-1-ol distillation recovery: BASFRecent Research Landscape
Formaldehyde contamination in crude isoprenol streams degrades product purity and creates downstream processing hazards. This lever utilizes specific separation stages to isolate high-purity 3-methyl-but-3-en-1-ol from aqueous formaldehyde mixtures.
What technical problems is BASF addressing in 3-methyl-but-3-en-1-ol distillation recovery?
Byproduct accumulation and yield loss
(27)evidences
Inconsistent process parameters lead to yield loss and safety risks in continuous esterification. Precise closed-loop sensor control prevents thermal instability and maintains steady-state throughput.
Product impurity and yield loss
(27)evidences
Inefficient separation of 3-methyl-but-3-en-1-ol from complex reaction mixtures leads to yield loss and contaminated precursors. High-purity recovery ensures the viability of downstream chemical synthesis.
Low isobutene recovery yield
(12)evidences
Presence of unwanted isomers and contaminants in raw C4 streams prevents high-purity chemical feedstock production. Removing these impurities reduces downstream catalyst poisoning and improves product yield.
Low carboxylic acid yield
(2)evidences
Inefficient conversion or poor selectivity during the synthesis of medium-chain saturated aliphatic acids. Improving yield reduces feedstock waste and lowers production costs.
