Study was carried out of extracting boron from underground brine in Pingluo, Sichuan using 2-butyl-2-ethyl-1,3-propanediol (BEPDO) as extractant, and chloroform as diluents. The condition experiments show that the optimal concentration of extractant was 1.0 mol/L, the ratio of organic phase to brine was 1:1, the extraction time was 10 min, and through a two-stage extraction, the extraction rate reached 98.56% while the extraction capacity reached 44.25 g/L (in terms of H3BO3). In the stripping process, sodium hydroxide was used as stripping agent. The stripping rate reaches 95.49% under the optimal conditions: 0.3 mol/L sodium hydroxide, 8 min stripping time, ratio of organic phase to stripping agent 1:1, two-stage stripping. The recovery of boric acid reaches 94.87% after two-stage extracting and two-stage stripping under optimal conditions. This study involved multiple reactions and reactants, such as 2-Butyl-2-ethylpropane-1,3-diol (cas: 115-84-4Application In Synthesis of 2-Butyl-2-ethylpropane-1,3-diol).
2-Butyl-2-ethylpropane-1,3-diol (cas: 115-84-4) belongs to alcohols. Alkyl halides are often synthesized from alcohols, in effect substituting a halogen atom for the hydroxyl group. Grignard and organolithium reagents are powerful tools for organic synthesis, and the most common products of their reactions are alcohols.Application In Synthesis of 2-Butyl-2-ethylpropane-1,3-diol
