The optimum molar ratio of ethylhexyl glycidyl ether to acetone is 6

Ethylhexylglycerol is produced using ethylhexyl glycidyl ether and acetone, and a molar ratio exists between ethylhexyl glycidyl ether and acetone. When the molar ratio of ethylhexyl glycidyl ether to acetone is less than 4, the appearance of the product is yellow, the odor is heavy, and the yield is low; when the molar ratio is 6, the product yield is high, colorless and odorless; when the molar ratio exceeds 6, the product The quality is also good, but the economy is not high, the recycling fee of acetone is increased, and the effective utilization rate of the reactor is lowered. Therefore, the molar ratio of ethylhexyl glycidyl ether to acetone is preferably 6. Acetone is not only a reactant, but also a heat transfer medium, which can reduce the side reaction caused by the local high temperature of the addition reaction.
