production method | a quaternary ammonium salt is formed from the bromination of bromine with trimethylamine. The trimethylamine aqueous solution is put into the vaporization kettle, heated to boiling, the generated trimethylamine gas is dried and absorbed with acetone, and the trimethylamine acetone solution is generated in the absorption tower, this was entered into the quaternization kettle. Bromodecane was then added dropwise with stirring in a molar ratio of 1.10: 1. During the dropwise addition, the temperature was maintained at 30-40 ℃, and the mixture was stirred for 1 h after dropping. The crystals were cooled to give a crude product, which was washed with acetone, spin dried and dried to give a product. |
