The present invention relates to a process for simultaneously consecutive preparation of polyols by base-catalysed reaction of at least two different mid-chain aldehydes with formaldehyde. The simultaneous consecutive mode of operation makes it possible to achieve high conversions and high selectivities for both aldehydes, with additional achievement of a distinct reduction in the amount of unreacted formaldehyde remaining. This leads to improved process economics, since the energy costs for workup of the formaldehyde stream are distinctly reduced.
本发明涉及一种通过碱催化反应至少两种不同的中链醛和
甲醛同时连续制备多元醇的方法。同时连续的操作方式使得两种醛都能够实现高转化率和高选择性,并且还能显著减少未反应的
甲醛量。这导致了工艺经济性的改善,因为处理
甲醛流的能量成本明显降低了。
