isopropanol

This paper reports the synthesis of isopropyl laurate while using a mixture of metal oxides as a catalyst. The best conversion value was obtained in the following conditions: 393 K, isopropanol:lauric acid molar ratio is 10:1, composition of the catalyst is 33 % CuO, 33 % Ag2O and 33 % Al2O3, catalyst/lauric acid ratio is 8 % (w/w), and reaction time 2 h. Isolation of the catalysts after esterification showed that the oxides were not converted into other materials.

The results of comparative studies of the chloride extraction from a mixture of sulfate salts of chloride by aqueous and organic extractants based on ethanol, isopropanol and acetone are given. It was found that the most effective reagent for obtaining chlorine free product is ethanol. 
Наведені  результати  порівняльних  досліджень  екстрагування  хлоридів  із  суміші сульфатно-хлоридних  солей  водно-органічними  екстрагентами  на  основі  етанолу, ізопропанолу  та  ацетону.  З'ясовано,  що  найефективнішим  реагентом  для  одержання безхлоридного продукту є етанол.
