[0002] The key process in the chlorohydrin-based propylene oxide production process is the chlorohydrinization step. Using water as the reaction medium, chlorine reacts with water to produce hydrochloric acid and hypochlorous acid. Hypochlorous acid then reacts with propylene to produce chloropropanol. The resulting chloropropanol solution is buffered and then saponified to produce crude propylene oxide. Propylene oxide is the primary raw material for the transesterification process to produce dimethyl carbonate. With the booming new energy vehicle and energy storage industries, demand for ethylene carbonate, an indispensable electrolyte solvent for lithium batteries, is also growing. Therefore, producing high-quality propylene oxide is crucial to improving product profitability.
