Michael adduct thermal decomposition kinetics: BASFRecent Research Landscape

Fluctuating reactant ratios in continuous (meth)acrylate synthesis lead to yield loss and byproduct formation. Real-time sensor feedback loops stabilize the esterification process to ensure consistent high-purity output.

What technical problems is BASF addressing in Michael adduct thermal decomposition kinetics?

Product impurity accumulation

(43)evidences

Inefficient conversion pathways and byproduct formation during the synthesis of cyclic esters and acrylic precursors. Improving yield reduces feedstock waste and downstream purification complexity.

Low purity isobutene recovery

(14)evidences

Residual byproducts and structural isomers in raw hydrocarbon mixtures prevent the attainment of high-purity chemical standards. Eliminating these contaminants ensures feedstock suitability for sensitive downstream catalytic applications.

High feedstock processing costs

(9)evidences

Conventional transesterification relies on organotin compounds which pose environmental and health risks. Existing catalytic systems struggle with the conversion of diverse alcohol structures in fuel synthesis.
