1,4-Butanediol - Preparation Method
Open Data Verified Data
- in the acetylene method, 1, 4-butynediol was prepared by reacting acetylene and formaldehyde in the presence of Cu-Bi catalyst at 98kPa and 80-95 °c. The latter was catalyzed by the skeleton nickel. 372~2. 06MPa, 50~60 ℃ hydrogenation to 1, 4-butenedioic acid salt, followed by Ni-Cu- Mn/Al2 03 further catalytic hydrogenation (13.7~20. 6MPa, 120~140 deg C) into 1, 4-butanediol, the ion exchange resin to remove metal ions, and then purified by distillation to obtain pure product.
- butadiene method from 1,3 A butadiene and acetic acid and oxygen for acetyl oxidation reaction, the formation of 1,4-= acetoxy -2-butene, and then after hydrogenation, prepared by hydrolysis.

1,4-Butanediol - Safety
Open Data Verified Data
- toxic. When attached to the diseased or injured skin or drink, it will initially exhibit an anesthetic effect, causing special pathological changes in the liver and kidneys, and then due to central nerve paralysis (no prolonged latency) sudden death. Mouse oral LD50 210 ~ 420mg/kg. Production equipment should be sealed to prevent leakage, and operators should wear protective equipment. Contact with this product is strictly prohibited for people with skin trauma.
- the use of aluminum, stainless steel, galvanized iron drum or plastic drum packaging, or tank car according to the provisions of flammable and toxic goods storage and transport. Due to the melting point of up to 20 ° C, the tank car should be equipped with a heating tube.

Reagents for chemical analysis, used as gas chromatography stationary liquid. Used as solvent, non-toxic antifreeze, food emulsifier, moisture absorbent, used in organic synthesis. Pharmaceutical, food industry. Solvent. Humectant. Intermediate of plasticizer. Crosslinkers for the manufacture of polyurethane elasto bodies. Organic synthesis. Manufacture of tetrahydrofuran. |
| production method | 1. acetylene method firstly reacts with acetylene and formaldehyde in the presence of Cu-Bi catalyst at 98kPa and 80-95 ℃ to prepare 1, 4-butynediol. The latter is then hydrogenated to 1,4-butanediol by skeleton nickel catalysis at 1.372-2.06MPa and 50-60 ℃, followed by Ni-Cu-Mn/Al2O3 further catalytic hydrogenation (13.7-20.6MPa, 120-140 ℃) to 1,4-butanediol, metal ions are removed by ion exchange resin, and then purified by distillation. 2. Maleic anhydride hydrogenation method 3. Butadiene method is made by acetyl oxidation reaction of 1,3-butadiene with acetic acid and oxygen to generate 1, 4-diacetoxy-2-butene, which is then hydrogenated and hydrolyzed. 4.1, 4-dichlorobutene method 1,4-dichlorobutene is an intermediate product in the process of butadiene production of chloroprene. It is used as a raw material to obtain 1,4 through hydrolysis and hydrogenation. Butanediol. |
