Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for purifying or isolating 2,3,5-trimethyl-p- benzoquinone by surely removing intermediates and by-products formed during production of the compound and avoiding degradation of the component by diminishing the thermal stress caused by the treatment by separating the compound by the crystallization. SOLUTION: A method is provided for purifying 2,3,5-trimethyl-p-benzoquinone (TMQ) or isolating TMQ from a TMQ-containing mixture by separating by crystallizing preferably at -6 to 32 deg.C. A TMQ-containing mixture to be purified or TMQ contains TMQ preferably at 1-99.999 wt.%, more preferably at 90-99.999 wt.%. The TMQ-containing mixture is formed preferably by the catalytic oxidation of trimethylphenol. TMQ is a useful intermediate for the production of trimethylhydroquinone which is a precursor for the synthesis of α-tocopherol.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a crystalline solid of the subject compound substantially not containing an additive and having virtually sufficiently low hygroscopic property. SOLUTION: This crystalline solid constituted of a glycine-N,N-diacetic acid derivative represented by formula I [R is a 1-30C alkyl or a 2-30C alkenyl, a group of formula II (A is a 1-12C alkylene bridge, etc.; M is H or an alkali metal, etc.), etc.] is produced by distilling away water content of an aqueous solution of (A) glycine-N,N-diacetic acid derivative I [R is a 1-20C alkyl or a group of formula II, etc.] as a starting substance. Crystallization is carried out by adding a crystalline component A in an amount of 0.001-50wt.%, preferably 0.01-10wt.% based on an amount of the component A in a starting substance as a nucleus for crystallization and the crystallization temperature is controlled to 10-100 deg.C, especially 40-80 deg.C. The resultant crystalline solid has a purity of 70-99.9%, especially 80-99.5% based on total amount of solid.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a process for producing particles of neopentyl hydroxypivalate(NHP) free from the defects of conventional process while suppressing the generation of cake, provide a particulate NHP having low cake-generation rate and provide a process for granulating the particle with a granulator. SOLUTION: This process for the production of particulate NHP comprises the supply of a molten NHP containing >=3wt.% of NHP crystal based on the total weight of NHP to a cooling zone to solidify the molten NHP. A particulate NHP having low caking tendency can be produced by this process. The particles can be granulated by a method using a granulator for molten material provided with a precooling device 2, a precrystallizer 3, a liquid droplet forming machine 4 or a planar applicator, a cooling belt 6 and a crusher in the case of using a planar applicator.
