Controlling propylene oxide and ethylene oxide ratios helps lubricating oil compounds resist electric leakage in motor drives.
Acidifying low molecular weight starters prevents double metal cyanide catalyst deactivation during continuous oxyalkylation at high temperatures.
Segmented alkoxylation with water removal prevents exothermic secondary reactions, ensuring reactor safety while increasing productivity.
Microstructured flow channels split and recombine liquid reaction mixtures to achieve ideal plug flow profiles in polyether alcohol synthesis.
A continuous oxyalkylation process uses a double metal cyanide catalyst to produce low molecular weight polyether polyols.
