CHAPTER 3 KINETIC STUDY OF LIQUID PHASE PROPYLENE DIRECT HYDRATION 3.1 Introduction 3.1.1 Propylene Hydration Catalyst Catalyst that is effective for the direct hydration of propylene is acidic in nature. Some of the direct hydration processes previously described in the literature use supported mineral or inorganic acid in a relatively low pressure, essentially vapor phase process for propylene hydration. Suitable catalysts include silicophosphoric acid, phosphoric acid on Celite, and tungstic acid on alumina. The catalyst that can be used in propylene direct hydration process must have hydrothermal stability in the presence of liquid phase water at the required reaction temperature. The most commonly utilized catalyst for this process is tungsten oxide (Kaister, et al., 1962). Acid zeolites and supported Group VI and Group VIII metals have also been reported to be active in the hydration of propylene (Eguchi, 1987; Iwamoto, 1986; Fajula, 1984). Ion-exchange resins were found to be effective for the direct hydration of olefins at selected process conditions (Kaister et al, 1962; Petrus et al, 1984; Delion, 1987). Equilibrium conversion to IPA can be obtained with ion-exchange resin at process temperature lower than previously found necessary with other catalysts. Since the high activity displayed by ion-exchange resins occurs at lower process temperature, process can be operated at conditions where hydration reaction and product separation through distillation can proceed simultaneously. The activity of ion-exchange resins, which 49 appear to be superior solid catalyst for pro
