A Cationic Surfactant as a Phase-Transfer Catalyst for Reactions in Liquid/Liquid and Solid/Liquid Systems. Its Use in the Manufacturing of Trichlorobenzene from Lindane Wastes and Vitamin A Production

The results of pilot plant experiments on phase-transfer-catalysed dehydrochlorination of hexachlorocyclohexane and vitamin A manufacturing using phase-transfer catalysis are discussed. A long-chain cationic surfactant (Katamine AB) was a suitable catalyst in these cases. Phase-transfer catalysis is...

Description
Summary:The results of pilot plant experiments on phase-transfer-catalysed dehydrochlorination of hexachlorocyclohexane and vitamin A manufacturing using phase-transfer catalysis are discussed. A long-chain cationic surfactant (Katamine AB) was a suitable catalyst in these cases. Phase-transfer catalysis is shown to provide advantageous process results and characteristics for these two commercially important reactions under scaled up conditions.
