Preparation:

1. Acetylene method: 1,4-butynediol is made by reacting acetylene and formaldehyde in the presence of Cu-Bi catalyst at 98kPa and 80-95℃. The latter is then catalyzed by nickel skeleton and hydrogenated at 1.372-2.06 MPa, 50-60°C to 1,4-butenedioate, followed by further catalytic hydrogenation with Ni-Cu-Mn/Al2O3 (13.7-20.6 MPa, 120-140°C) to 1,4-butanediol, which is then purified by distillation after removal of metal ions by ion exchange resin. 2. Maleic Anhydride Hydrogenation method 3. Butadiene method Acetyl oxidation reaction of 1,3-butadiene with acetic acid and oxygen to produce 1,4-diacetoxy-2-butene, then hydrogenated and hydrolyzed to make 4. 1,4-dichlorobutene method 1,4-dichlorobutene is an intermediate product of the process of producing chlorobutadiene from butadiene, which is used as raw material, hydrolyzed and hydrogenated to obtain 1,4-butanediol.

 

Uses:

1,4-butanediol is an important organic chemical and fine chemical raw material, and is the basic raw material for the production of polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) engineering plastics and PBT fiber; PBT plastic is one of the five most promising engineering plastics.

1,4 butanediol is the main raw material for the production of tetrahydrofuran, which is an important organic solvent. The polytetramethylene glycol ether (PTMEG) obtained after polymerization is the basic raw material for the production of high-elasticity spandex (Lycra fiber). Spandex is mainly used in the production of high-elasticity knitted products such as advanced sportswear and swimwear.

γ-butyrolactone, a downstream product of 1,4-butanediol, is the raw material for the production of 2-pyrrolidone and N-methylpyrrolidone products, from which a series of high value-added products such as vinylpyrrolidone and polyvinylpyrrolidone are derived, which are widely used in pesticides, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.

 

Applications:

Used as solvent and humidifier, also used to make plasticizer, drugs, polyester resin, polyurethane resin, etc.
