Pentaerythritol Production from Base-Catalyzed Poly-Addition Reaction

This report provides the cost structure of pentaerythritol production by base-catalysed poly-addition reaction process. In this process, formaldehyde and acetaldehyde are reacted to form pentaerythritol and sodium formate, which is then evaporated to remove unconverted formaldehyde, and concentrated. Finally, the solution is crystallized, and dried.
