Claims23
A method of performing ozonolysis or ozone-based oxidation on a liquid or emulsified reagent using an industrial scale tubular falling film reactor with multiple tubes wherein the combined ozone and carrier gas flow is co-current, and wherein the ozonolysis occurs continuously without accumulation of large amounts of hazardous intermediates, and wherein the tubes are cooled by flow of a coolant;
- wherein the liquid or emulsified reagent comprises a compound selected from hydroxycitronellene, methoxycitronellene, a rose ketone, fatty acid methyl esters, triglycerides, fatty alcohols, fatty esters, diterpenes, sesquiterpenes, monoterpenes, allyl ethers, alpha olefins, rosin acids, tertiary amines, alkenes, alkynes, amides, carboxylic acids, and aromatic compounds, provided that said compound is susceptible to ozone oxidation.
A method of performing ozonolysis or ozone-based oxidation on a liquid or emulsified reagent using an industrial scale tubular falling film reactor with multiple tubes wherein the combined ozone and carrier gas flow is co-current, and wherein the ozonolysis occurs continuously without accumulation of large amounts of hazardous intermediates, and wherein the tubes are cooled by flow of a coolant, wherein the liquid or emulsified reagent comprises a fatty acid susceptible to ozone oxidation, wherein the carrier gas is air and the ozone concentration in the carrier gas is from 2.5% to 10%.
