The hydrolysis of dimethyl glutarate was studied in the presence of 001×7 styrene cation exchange resin.The effect of catalyst loadings
the oil bath temperatures
reaction time and different molar ratio of water to dimethyl gutarata were investigated.The highest glutaric acid yield up to 88.84% was obtained under the reaction conditions of the oil bath temperature 130 ℃
the molar ratio of water to dimethyl glutarate 12∶1
the reaction time 2 h and the catalyst concentration 170 g/L.Repeated tests of the reuse catalyst under the optimum reaction conditions indicated good reproducibility.
