Isobutyraldehyde → isobutyraldehyde AEEA

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a typical experiment, isobutyraldehyde and aminoethylethanolamine (AEEA) were pumped separately from weighed feed tanks using adjustable metering pumps. Isobutyraldehyde was pumped at a rate of 0.29 lb/hr and AEEA at a rate of 0.37 lb/hr, giving an isobutyraldehyde/AEEA feed mole ratio of approximately 1.10/1 and a liquid hourly space velocity of 0.5 g total liquid feed/hr/ml catalyst. The two liquid feeds were brought together and allowed to react in a 6-foot coil of 1/4-inch tubing before entering the main reactor. Maximum temperature in this coil of tubing was 64° C.
