The direct methyl esterification reaction for MMA was commercialized. Precisely synthesized Pd 3 Pb 1 catalyst and the catalysis at the proposed reductive oxidation reaction condition (PROC) realized and guaranteed high MMA yield and long catalyst life. Controlled Pd distribution in a catalyst particle drastically decreased Pd loss from the catalyst during reaction. Unit processes are introduced as well.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
