Effects of different reaction conditions on the synthesis of propylene carbonate

Xiaoli Zhang

Themain properties of propylene carbonate have been introduced. Different catalysts that consist of inorganic salt like basic zinc carbonate-activated carbon, metal matrix composites of Al2O3 and MgO with loading Cu and magnaliumhydrotalcite with loading Snhave also been introduced. Effects of different reaction conditions such as the calcination temperature, the calcination time, the reaction temperature and the number of reusable catalyston the synthesis of propylene carbonate fromurea and propylene glycolare discussed. The optimumcalcination temperature, the calcination time, the reaction temperature and the number of reusable catalystare beneficial to improve the yield of the product, propylene carbonate.
