Usage

General Description

(2-N-Butoxyethoxy)acetic acid, also known as DEGBE or diethylene glycol monobutyl ether, is a chemical compound that is commonly used as a solvent or a cleaning agent. It is a clear, colorless liquid with a mild, pleasant odor, and it is soluble in water, alcohol, and ether. This chemical has a variety of industrial applications, including as a solvent in paints, varnishes, and inks, as well as a component in some cleaning products and industrial degreasers. It is also used in the production of pesticides and in pharmaceutical manufacturing. Additionally, (2-N-Butoxyethoxy)acetic acid has been found to be relatively low in toxicity; however, it can cause irritation to the skin and eyes and may be harmful if ingested or inhaled in large quantities.

Ceria supported gold-platinum catalysts for the selective oxidation of alkyl ethoxylates

This work covers the development of a ceria based AuPt catalyst for the selective aerobic oxidation of alkyl ethoxylates to their corresponding carboxylic acids. By optimizing metal loading and the Au to Pt ratio the activity of the catalyst could be increased significantly, while maintaining total selectivity. Although the choice of ceria as a support helped to suppress intermediate metal leaching, the catalyst still showed poor long-term stability in repeated batches. The cause for deactivation could finally be identified by TPR studies as over-oxidation. These suspicions were confirmed by a long-term stability study in continuous-mode. It proved to be possible to deactivate the catalyst on purpose by employing unfavourable oxidising reaction conditions, i.e. low substrate concentrations and excess oxygen. By avoiding such unfavourable conditions either in continuous-flow mode or in repeated batches, the long-term stability of the catalyst increased tremendously. A substrate screening of various ethoxylates showed that the catalyst was very well-suited to selectively oxidize a wide range of alkyl ethoxylates.
