Abstract:
ANHYDROUS HYDROGEN PEROXIDE SOLUTIONS ARE PREPARED FROM A HYDROGEN PEROXIDE CONTAINING WORKING SOLUTION PRODUCED IN THE ANTHRAQUINONE PROCESS AFTER THE OXIDATION STEP BY EMPLOYING A STRIPPING DISTILLATION UNDER REDUCED PRESSURE USING AN ORGANIC SOLVENT AS THE STRIPPING AGENT.
Abstract:
Esters of trialkyl acetic acids; preferably pivalic acid, with higher alkanols, glycols, phenols or cycloalkanols are employed as solvents for the reaction carriers in the anthraquinone process for preparing hydrogen peroxide.
Abstract:
In situ regeneration of noble metal catalysts for the synthesis of hydrogen peroxide by the anthraquinone process is provided by employing as the working solution coming from the extraction or desorption step and being introduced into the hydrogenation step a solution which contains at least 250 mg/liter of hydrogen peroxide, to thereby completely regenerate the noble metal catalyst by full capacity of the hydrogenation step.
Abstract:
Process for continuous production of propylene oxide (FIG. 1) from propylene and aqueous hydrogen peroxide. The aqueous hydrogen peroxide is first reacted with propionic acid in the presence of acid catalyst to form perpropionic acid (1). The perpropionic acid is taken up by extraction in benzene (5 , 12), and following drying of the benzene solution (16), the perpropionic acid in the solution is reacted with propylene (18) for oxidation of the propylene to propylene oxide and conversion of the perpropionic acid back to propionic acid. The reaction mixture is worked up to separate propylene oxide, propionic acid and benzene (25, 27, 31, 33), and the latter two are recycled. In the benzene extraction (5, 12), an aqueous raffinate (7) is formed containing hydrogen peroxide and acid catalyst. Water is removed from the aqueous raffinate (8) and the concentrate is recycled to the propionic acid reactor. Make-up hydrogen peroxide can be added to the aqueous raffinate before the removal of water.

In the benzene extraction (5), an aqueous raffinate (7) is formed containing hydrogen peroxide and acid catalyst. The aqueous raffinate can be divided into a stream which is recycled to the propionic acid reactor (1), and a second stream which can be distilled to remove water with the concentrate being recycled to the propionic acid reactor.

Abstract:
Process for preparing perpropionic acid, by reaction of hydrogen peroxide with propionic acid, in the presence of sulfuric acid, under explosion-proof conditions, characterized in that the reaction of hydrogen peroxide with propionic acid in the presence of sulfuric acid is carried out, in a molar proportion of application of hydrogen peroxide; propionic acid of more than 3.5: 1, the reaction temperature is limited to a maximum temperature of 60º c. And the weight ratio of hydrogen peroxide (100% by weight): water is limited, before the start of the reaction with propionic acid, at most 0.8, the concentration of the sulfuric acid in the reaction mixture increasing to 10 to 40% by weight.

Abstract:
1343052 Non-aqueous hydrogen peroxide solutions DEUTSCHE GOLD-UND SILBERSCHEIDEANSTALT 21 May 1971 [23 May 1970] 16188/71 Heading C1A [Also in Division B1] A non-aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide is obtained by passing a working solution containing hydrogen peroxide obtained by the anthraquinone process through a film forming evaporator in the presence of the vapour of at least one organic solvent for hydrogen peroxide which is chemically stable under the process conditions and which boils at 30 to 180‹ C. at normal pressure, and thereafter condensing the vapour containing H 2 O 2 , produced in the evaporator by desorption of H 2 O 2 from the working solution, either by direct evaporation cooling with the liquid organic solvent or solvents used, preferably in supercooled form, or by a heat exchanger. The working solution may be preheated-before being passed to the evaporator and during evaporation, the organic solvent/s vapours may be guided in parallel current with or in counter current to the working solution. Alternatively, the vapour of the organic solvent/s may be produced in situ from the working solution in the evaporator. The desorption of H 2 O 2 is preferably carried out under a reduced pressure of 5 to 60 Torr. and the organic solvent/s used in the desorption are preferably carboxylic acids, esters, alcohols, ketones and ethers or mixtures of these or combinations with hydrocarbons.
