Preparation of Pentaerythritol:
Pentaerythritol is manufactured by reaction of formaldehyde and acetaldehyde in the presence of a basic catalyst, generally an alkali or alkaline-earth hydroxide.
In the process (Fig. 1), the main concern in mixing is to avoid loss of temperature control in this exothermic reaction, which can load to excessive by-product formation and/or reduced yields of pentaerythritol. The reaction time depends on the reaction temperature and may vary from about 0.5 to 4 hours at final temperatures of about 65 and 35 °C, respectively. The reactor product, neutralized with acetic or formic acid, is then stripped of excess formaldehyde and water to produce a highly concentrated solution of pentaerythritol reaction products. This is then cooled under carefully controlled crystallization conditions so that the crystals can be readily separated from the liquors by subsequent filtration.
Staged reactions, where only part of the initial reactants is added, either to consecutive reactors or with a time lag to the same reactor, may be used to reduce dipentaerythritol content. This technique increases the effective formaldehyde-to-acetaldehyde mole ratio, maintaining the original stoichiometric one. It also permits easier thermal control of the reaction. Both batch and continuous reaction systems are used.
Dipentaerythritol and tripentaerythritol are obtained as by-products of the pentaerythritol process and may be further purified by fractional crystallization or extraction.
