Rectification and Separation
After esterification, rectification is needed to separate maleic anhydride from by-products. This process requires stable equipment and standardized operations. The separated maleic anhydride then undergoes further dehydration, decolorization, and impurity removal to ...
Maleic Anhydride Reaction Condition Control
Maleic anhydride is produced via oxidation reactions, with key conditions including temperature, time, and pressure. Typical parameters are: temperature between 170–220°C, reaction time of 2–6 hours, and pressure of 1–3 MPa. These parameters should be a...
Maleic Anhydride Catalyst Selection
Oxidation reactions in maleic anhydride production rely on catalysts; commonly used options are organic salts and ammonium salts. Catalyst selection should consider activity, stability, and cost. Additionally, the concentration and dosage of the catalyst must b...
Maleic anhydride is a critical organic chemical, widely used in industries such as plastics, rubber, coatings, and pharmaceuticals. Below are the technical requirements for its production:
Raw Material Selection
The main raw materials for maleic anhydride are benzene and acetic acid. Benzene must...
Papermaking Industry.maleic anhydride MA-modified resins are used as paper treatment agents; maleic anhydride MA-modified rosin (maleated rosin) is an internal sizing agent. Fumaric acid-modified rosin gum (a highly used acidic sizing agent) enhances paper stability with excellent oxidation and a...
Textile Auxiliaries.A composite softener (based on thiodisuccinic acid long-chain ester, synthesized from MA maleic anhydride and stearyl alcohol) is used for softening cotton, silk, and polyester fabrics. MA is also used to make fluorescent whitening agents and dye dispersants for textile printi...
Plasticizers.Maleic anhydride-derived dibutyl maleate and dioctyl maleate are excellent internal plasticizers for plastics. Hexahydrophthalic anhydride and diphenyl maleate (made from MA Maleic anhydride) are high-performance external plasticizers.
Food Industry.Fumaric acid (from MA Maleic anhyd...
In coatings, maleic anhydride serves as a film-forming component for water-based, oil-based, and synthetic resin coatings (e.g., alkyd, polyester, maleic anhydride-modified rosin, and tung oil-maleic acid resins).
Pesticides.Malathion (synthesized from maleic anhydride and P205) is a low-toxicity...
Synthetic Resins
Maleic anhydride reacts with polyols (followed by cross-linking with styrene) to form unsaturated polyester resins (UPR), a thermosetting resin. UPR is divided into fiber-reinforced plastics (FRP, commonly known as fiberglass-reinforced plastic) and non-reinforced plastics.
FRP i...
Maleic anhydride applications are extremely broad, primarily used in the production of unsaturated polyester resins (UPR) (both reinforced and non-reinforced), coatings, paints, inks, engineering plastics, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, papermaking, textile auxiliaries, food additives, feed additiv...
