Abstract

In the presence of an acid catalyst, PG react reversibly with acetaldehyde to form 2,4-dim-ethyl-1,3-dioxolane (24DMD). The effects of different operational parameters on PG conversion had been analyzed in paper, parameters included temperature, reaction time, amount of catalyst and aqueous acetaldehyde/PG molar ratio. Under optimal condition, 85% conversion of PG in aqueous solution was achieved within 180 min of reaction. The analysis of PG was conducted by gas chromatograph. Furthermore, reaction followed the second-order reaction kinetics, and the reaction rate constant was found to be 29.68min-1.
