Abstract
The present invention is based on the synthesis of triisoamyl citrate (triisopentanol citrate) and its applications as a plasticizer for polyvinyl chloride polymers, natural and synthetic rubbers, industrial solvents, replacing petrochemical-based products such as Phthalates (Dioctyl Phthalate, Diisononyl Phthalate, Dibutyl Phthalate), Acetylated tributylcitrate, epoxidized fatty esters, isoparaffins. It is a 100% renewable, high-performance, non-toxic, biodegradable product with an extremely competitive cost. With the increase in corn alcohol production in Brazil, this technology and product adds value to the fusel oil co-product generated in corn alcohol plants.
Claims3
A triisoamyl citrate (triisopentanol) wherein it is synthesized by the steps below:
- a 2000 ml reactor is charged with 192 grams of citric acid, 400 grams of isoamyl alcohol and 1.5 grams of methane sulfonic acid;
- under stirring, heat the product to 140° C. under reflux, separating the reaction water;
- after 4 hours at a temperature of 130° ° C. to 140° C., 50 grams of water are collected;
- place the system for distillation, raising the temperature to 160° C.;
- at the end, a vacuum of 20 mmHg is applied to remove volatiles and odorous substances;
- at this stage, 120 grams of recovered isoamyl alcohol were collected;
- the product obtained is cooled to 80° C.;
- the product is filtered through a buckner funnel and blue band filter paper.
