Using a self-made dinuclear quaternary ammonium salt catalyst to synthesize propylene carbonate (PC) from CO2 and propylene oxide (PO),the catalyst dosage,reaction temperature,reaction pressure and reaction time were optimized.A kinetic equation was established based on the nucleophilic reaction mechanism,and the laws of PO conversion rate and PC production rate changing with time under different temperatures were studied.The experiments showed that at 100℃,1.5 MPa and 2 h,with a catalyst dosage of 1.5%,the PO conversion rate was 99.74%,the PC selectivity was 99.64%,and the total reaction rate was linearly related to the PO concentration.
