                 RESEARCH REPORTING SERIES

 Research reports of the Office of Research and Development, U.S. Environmental
 Protection Agency,  have been grouped into five series. These  five broad
 categories were established to facilitate further development and application of
 environmental technology. Elimination of traditional grouping was consciously
 planned to foster technology transfer and  a maximum interface in related fields.
 The five series are:

     1.    Environmental Health Effects Research
     2.    Environmental Protection Technology
     3.    Ecological  Research
     4.    Environmental Monitoring
     5.    Socioeconomic Environmental Studies

 This report has  been assigned  to  the ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
 TECHNOLOGY series. This series describes research performed to develop and
 demonstrate instrumentation, equipment,  and methodology to repair or prevent
 environmental degradation from point and non-point sources  of pollution. This
 work provides the new or improved technology required for the control  and
 treatment of pollution sources to meet environmental quality standards.

                         SYNTHETIC PLASTICIZER INDUSTRY
 INDUSTRY  DESCRIPTION
     The  plasticizer  industry includes manufacturers who produce primary
 synthetic organic plasticizers.  Manufacturers who refine or otherwise
 upgrade natural plasticizers such as mineral oil or castor oil are not in-
 cluded.   Plasticizers are materials which are added to organic polymers to
 facilitate  processing, to modify the properties of the product, or both.
 In some cases  the plasticizer serves primarily as a processing aid, faci-
 litating  the fabrication of the polymer into its final product but perform-
 ing no function thereafter.  In other cases the plasticizer determines the
 physical  properties of the end product and is a critically important, func-
 tional component of the composite for the life of the end product.  In
 general,  workability, flexibility, extensibility and resilience are imparted
 to a polymer system by a plasticizer.  Distinctions among plasticizers,
 extender  oils, flame  retardants, processing aids and lubricants are often
 blurred.

     Amounts of plasticizer added vary from a few percent to amounts compar-
 able to the amount of organic polymer in the finished product.  Plasticizers
 compatible  with one polymer may not be compatible with another.  Primary
 plasticizers have a high degree of compatibility with the polymer at the
 projected use  level.  A second or extender plasticizer can be used safely
 only with substantial amounts of primary plasticizer for the polymer system
 to maintain satisfactory compatibility.  Extenders are used to reduce costs.
 The plasticizer industry uses raw materials produced by the industrial
 organic chemicals industry (Chapter 6) and produces products which are used
 as raw materials by the plastics and resins industry (Chapter 10).  There
 are more  than  600 plasticizers commercially available but only about 150
 of these  have  industrial significance.  The bulk of plasticizers used
 currently in the United States is employed in the formulation of flexible
 vinyl plastics.

     The major categories of synthetic plasticizers are carboxylic acid
 esters, phosphoric acid esters, linear polyesters and epoxidized esters.
 Most synthetic plasticizers are derived from some form of esterification.

     Seventeen manufacturing facilities owned by 13 companies accounted
 for 93 percent of the 1974 plasticizers production capacity (980 Gg/yr).
 Numerous small firms  are engaged in the production of plasticizers 'for
 specialty applications.

     According to the Standard Industrial Classification System, the
 plasticizer industry  is included in the group of industries which produces
 a wide range of synthetic organic chemicals.  Since industry statistics
 for this group of manufacturers are combined, no information was found
 describing  the approximate number of workers employed in the production
 of plasticizers.

     The United States InternationaT Trade Commission (formerly U. S.
Tariff Commission) reported total production of primary plasticizers
 in 1974 to  be 858 Gg  (1.89 billion pounds).  Table 1 lists the production
 figures reported by the Tariff Commission.  As indicated in Table 1 well


                                   1

-------
 over half  of  U.  S. synthetic plasticizer production is of phthalate esters,
 Production included  70 Gg of epoxidized esters (epoxidized soya oils and
 octylepoxytallates): 16 Gg of esters of natural fatty acids such as oleic,
 sebacic  and stearic  acids; and 56 Gg of other acrylic plasticizers.  It is
 possible that some of the production by some of these categories does not
 refer to the  synthetic plasticizer industry as it has been defined here.

     About 80 percent of all plasticizers are consumed in poly(vinyl
chloride) (PVC) formulations; therefore, trends in the synthetic plastici-
zer industry generally follow those of flexible poly(vinyl chloride)  pro-
duction.   Table 2 lists total U.S. production of plasticizers as reported

     Production of poly(vinyl chloride) resins and  products dropped approx-
imately 25 percent from 1974 to 1975.  Assuming plasticizer production
followed the same trend, 1975 production would be estimated at about  645 Gg.
This drop in production was brought on by greatly decreased demand  from the
automotive and housing industries.   The only other  annual  decrease  in plas-
ticizer production in the past 10 years is correlated with the 1969-70 eco-
nomic slowdown.  Economic recovery is expected to return the growth rate for
Plasticizers to the 5-10 percent per year range.

     Despite these optimistic predictions uncertainties exist in the  long-
range future of poly(vinyl chloride) based products and therefore in  the
future demand for synthetic plasticizers.  These uncertainties arise  from
solid waste disposal problems and toxicity problems.  Solid waste disposal
problems include the nondegradability problems associated with plastics in

-------
 general when  the  landfill method of disposal is used.  In addition, incin-
 eration of  unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) resin yields 0.6 kg of HC1,
 a  corrosive and toxic gas, per kg of resin.  (In a typical flexible (plas-
 ticized]  product  containing approximately 35 percent plasticizer the amount
 of HC1 emitted would be proportionately reduced.)  At low combustion temper-
 atures the  presence of chlorine retards combustion.  Environmentally accept-
 able  incineration of large amounts of poly(vinyl chloride) requires the use
 of specially  designed incinerators to promote combustion, resist corrosion,
 and prevent hazardous emissions.

      Toxicity questions associated with poly(vinyl chloride) revolve around
 the discovery of  previously unknown toxic properties of vinyl chloride mon-
 omer  in the early seventies.  These discoveries resulted in stringent emis-
 sion  standards which have raised some doubts about the future of vinyl chlo-
 ride.  The  toxicity of phthalate esters has been a matter of concern.  However,
 possible  effects  on humans have not been clearly demonstrated.  So far,
 concerns  related  to the environment and safety have not influenced the
 plasticizer market nearly so much as have economic factors.

      Short-term estimates of raw materials supplies (phthalic annhydride,
 branched  alcohols and linear alcohols) indicate adequate supplies in most
 cases for the next two to four years.  The long-term outlook for feedstock
 supply and  price  (which impact product prices) is tied to the political and
 economic  complexities associated with the increasing reliance of the United
 States on imported petroleum.

      The  plasticizer industry, along with the entire petrochemical industry,
 has the flexibility to rapidly change the amount and type of materials pro-
 duced, within wide limits, in response to raw materials shortages and market
 demands.  This capacity and willingness to change production emphasis makes
 even  moderate-term predictions about growth trends quite risky.

      No specific  information was found concerning on-site generation of
 steam or  electricity.  It is to be expected that steam, when required, will
 be  generated  on site.  It is believed that electric power generally will  be
 purchased from utility companies by contractual agreement, even for very
 large installations.

 Raw Materials

      Most plasticizers are products of esterification reactions between
 hydroxyl  compounds such as alcohols or glycols and carboxylic or  phosphoric
 acids.  Commonly  used catalysts are sulfuric acid and p-toluene-sulfonic
 acid  for  carboxylic acid esters and magnesium chloride for phosphoric  acid
 esters.   Appendix A contains a complete list of raw materials.

     Raw  materials for carboxylic acid esters are primarily aliphatic  or
aromatic  dicarboxylic acids or anhydrides and C6-C13 branched chain alco-
hols.   The most important aromatic diacid derivatives are the phthalate esters.
This group of plasticizers employs phthalic anhydride as  the aromatic  diacid
precursor.  Terephthalic acid and isophthalic acid are used to a  much  smaller
extent.   The major aliphatic dicarboxylic acid used in the production  of
dicarboxylic acid esters is adipic acid.  Other less frequently used diacids
are sebacic and azelaic acids.   Mono- and tri-functional  acid esters are also

-------
produced to a small extent in the industry from mono- and tri-acids.  Benzoic
acid, citric acid and trimellitic anhydride are examples of acidic compounds
used in the production of these less widely used plasticizers.  The most im-
portant plasticizer alcohol for combination with carboxylic acids is 2-ethyl-
hexanol (commonly referred to as octyl alcohol).  Other important alcohols
include isooctyl alcohol, isodecyl alcohol and butyl alcohol.  In some cases
mixtures of closely related alcohols rather than pure compounds are used.

     Polyester plasticizers are usually of the linear variety and are made
primarily from dicarboxylic acids and glycols.  The acid and glycol are com-
bined and polymerized to the required molecular weight range.  Adipic acid
is the most frequently used acid.  Azelaic and sebacic acids are also used.
The glycols vary and can be mixed.

     Phosphate esters of phenolic compounds are the most important materials
produced for fire-retardant plasticizers.  The major acidic phosphorous compound
used in the production of cyclic phosphate esters is phosphorous oxychloride,
POC13, which is derived from phosphorous trichloride or phosphorous pent-
oxide and chlorine.  Phenols are the hydroxyl bearing precursor.  Tricresyl
phosphate is produced by the reaction of POC13 with a mixture of meta and
para cresols.  Mixtures of cresols and phenol will  yield esters such as
cresyl diphenyl phosphate.  Aryl-alkyl phosphates are produced in signifi-
cant quantities from mixtures of aryl-alkyl alcohols.  The most important
ester of this type is 2-ethylhexyl diphenyl phosphate.

     Epoxidized plasticizers are prepared from natural oils (esters) such
as soybean oil or linseed oil or by epoxidation of synthetic esters such
as the 2-ethylhexyl ester of tall oil or oleic acids.  The most widely used
natural oil is soybean oil and the most important synthetic is 2-ethylhexyl
tall ate.

     Phthalic, trimellitic and adipic acids are derived primarily from
petroleum with smaller amounts of raw materials coming from coal tar.  Oleic,
stearic, and palmitic acids are made from animal fats.  Palmitic acid is also
derived from cottonseed oil.  Laurie acid comes from coconut oil and ri-
cicionleic acid from castor oil.  Azelaic acid is made by ozonolysis of
oleic acid.  Sebacic acid is obtained by hydrolysis of castor oil.  Overall,
the amounts of raw materials derived from petroleum and coal greatly exceed
the amounts derived from non-fossil sources.

     Plasticizer alcohols can be broadly categorized as branched chain
alcohols in the C6-Ci3 range and straight chain alcohols in the C6-Cn
range.  These alcohols are prepared almost exclusively from olefins derived
from petroleum by the "Oxo" process, by aldol condensation, by a combination
of the "Oxo" process with aldol condensation or by the use of aluminum alkyls
(Ziegler catalysts).  These alcohols may be prepared by reduction of fatty
acid esters derived from coconut oil or tallow, but currently only small amounts
of alcohols are actually prepared this way.  Branched-chain alcohols or
mixed isomers of branches alcohols are commonly designated by the prefix iso
even though this usage does not conform to the strict chemical definition
of the term.  In some cases mixtures of alcohols containing 7 to 11 carbon
atoms are used.

to the finished product.  Phthalic esters find substantial  general  purpose
use in PVC film, sheeting, extrusion products, and wire and cable coatings.
Adipates are used to impart low temperature flexibility to  PVC formulations
(e.g., vinyl meat-wrapping films).  Phosphate esters are added to PVC in
order to restore the fire retardancy of the unplasticized polymer when this
has been dimished by addition of other plasticizers not containing a fire-
retardant element (P, Cl, B ).  Polyesters are more resistant to extraction
and migration than monomeric esters.

     Although the plasticizers listed in Table 4 are used principally in
formulation of poly(vinyl chloride) products, many are compatible with
other polymers.  Appendix B contains a complete list of commercially avail-
able plasticizers and includes information on physical properties,  compati-
bility with various polymers, and manufacturers.

Companies

     The companies which dominate the industry are large, integrated chemi-
cal or petrochemical companies which also produce a number  of other products.
In several  cases the companies produce the acids  and/or the alcohols from
which the plasticizers are made.   Some manufacturers produce poly(vinyl  chlor-
ide) monomer and resins as well.   Thirteen companies which  had approximately
93 percent of the synthetic plasticizer capacity for the United States in
1974 are listed in Table 5.

     Appendix C lists companies engaged in the manufacture of materials
used as plasticizers.  Plant locations and materials produced are included.
Capacities are listed if available.  Some companies engaged in the manufacture
of cosmetics, Pharmaceuticals or industrial specialties also manufacture
plasticizers.


Environmental Impact

     The synthetic plasticizer industry produces gaseous, solid and liquid
wastes.  Waste water is the major environmental problem of this industry.
Hydrochloric acid gas emissions, for example, are largely controlled in
phosphate ester manufacture by gas scrubbers.  Solid waste is a minor poll-
ution source which results from ester purification processes.  Solid wastes
include spent activated carbon and insoluble sulfate salts.

     A major source of waste water from esterification of carboxylic acids
is the water from neutralization and washing operations and filter backwash.
These types of plasticizers are normally washed and neutralized to remove
traces of H2SOi, or other acid catalyst.  Waste water can contain dilute
caustic, additives, sulfates (from acid catalyst) and organics such as al-
cohols, monoester, and small amounts of product.

     The waste water from one plant which produces diethylphthalate had
very high values for biological oxygen demand, chemical oxygen demand, total
organic carbon, sulfate, oil, total dissolved solids and copper.  Exact
values are given in Process Description 1.  The waste water flow rate was
0.65 liter waste water per kg product.  If these values are typical  of
processes involving esterification of carboxylic acids, the waste water
problem lies not so much in the volume of water produced as in its poor
quality.  The copper concentration found for this plant is high enough to
interfere with biological treatment of the water.

     The waste load values from the diethylphthalate plant may be compared
with those from a plant producing tricresylphosphate (TCP) (see Process 2).
The comparison reveals that the TCP plant had a much higher waste water flow
rate (28 liters per kg product) and much lower waste loadings for bio-
chemical oxygen demand, chemical oxygen demand, total organic carbon, cy-
anide, oil, copper and total dissolved solids.  Sulfate loads were comparable
for the two processes.  Waste loads were higher for the TCP process for all
other contaminants listed.  Chloride loads were quite high for the TCP pro-
cess.  Phenol levels are of potential  concern.  Although not listed in the
table of contaminants, permanganate is added to phosphate esters during the
purification process and manganese will be found in wash waters.

     The contaminants listed are for untreated waste water and many of the
potential  problems with such wastes can be avoided by appropriate water
treatment.   Plasticizer production usually occurs at a plant at which other
organic chemicals are manufactured.  Pollutant emissions from the plant will
depend on waste management practices,  segregation or combination of waste
streams, composition of wastes from other organic chemical processes conducted
at the site, and waste treatment facilities.

-------
     The amount of solid waste  (spent  activated clay or activated charcoal)
is not large.  However,  if the  solids  are disposed of by landfill, materials
of unknown composition may be leached  and might pose a threat of local ground-
water contamination.

INDUSTRY ANALYSIS

     There are some inconsistencies in reported production data.  Plasti-
cizer production for  1974 was reported as 858 Gg by the U.S. International
Trade Commission and  as 745 Gg by Modern Plastics magazine.  These figures
contrast with a production capacity of 980 Gg/yr estimated by the Chemical
Economics Handbook.   Demand for plasticizers was very strong in 1974, ex-
ceeding production.   Part of the gap between reported production and capacity
figures can  be attributed to raw materials shortages and normal plant down
time.

     Other factors impact reported capacity and production values for
plasticizers.  In many cases the distinction between plasticizers, extend-
ers, fire retardants, etc. is not clear.  Different authors may define pri-
mary plasticizers in  different ways.  Second, chemicals which are used pri-
marily as plasticizers may have other uses, and some authors report only
production which is to be used as plasticizers.  Third, much of the equip-
ment used to manufacture plasticizers can be used to make more than one
plasticizer, or even  materials with entirely different use patterns.  The
capacity of  a given system can be expected to be different for each material
produced.

     The production figures used in this report represent total production
of chemicals which are used mainly as primary plasticizers.  Secondary
plasticizers or extenders such as mineral oil or chlorinated hydrocarbons
are not  included.

     Quantitative waste stream compositions reported in the process descrip-
tions are the results of measurements made for processes producing one
phthalate ester plasticizer and a typical phosphate ester plasticizer.  These
compositions are specific for the plant and product investigated and are not
intended to  represent raw waste loads for other processes.  Specifically,
diethyl phthalate (DEP), a plasticizer not used in PVC, is produced by a
batch process in insignificant quantities.  Since large scale production
of plasticizers used  in PVC such as di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (OOP),
diisooctyl phthalate  (DIOP) and diisodecyl phthalate (DIDP) generally in-
volves continuous rather than batch processing, the waste streams resulting
from the production of OOP, DIOP and DIDP can be expected to have little re-
lationship to the data found for DEP.  No information was found regarding
waste stream composition associated with the production of epoxy-type
plasticizers.


Synthetic Plasticizer Processes

     Esterification of dicarboxylic acids and fatty acids with monohydric
alcohols and the production of polyesters by esterification/polymerization
of dicarboxylic acids with glycols are chemically similar processes.  They
are treated by Process Description No. 1.  Esterification of phosphoric
acid (phosphorous oxychloride) requires special equipment and techniques
because of the corrosive nature of the reactants and products and is
treated in Process No. 2.   Epoxidation is described in Process No. 3.
Figures  1,2  and 3 are flow sheets describing their respective processes.
Production of ester and epoxidized ester plasticizers is a relatively
simple industrial  process  and the flow sheets reflect this simplicity.

PLASTICIZER  INDUSTRY

                     Esterification of Carboxylic Acids

1.   Function -  In this process an acid or an acid anhydride combines with an
alcohol to produce an ester.  Most plasticizers are synthesized in simple es-
terification reactions, which can be carried out in the liquid phase in heated
kettles with stirring and water take-off provisions.  Many plants still produce
plasticizers by batch methods, but newer plants operate on a continuous basis.
Esterification  catalysts such as sulfuric acid or p-toluene sulfonic acid are
removed in a washing step.  The crude product is purified by distillation,
steam stripping, filtration, and treatment with activated clay or activated
charcoal.

     Reactions  of dicarboxylic acids (or anhydrides) may be typified those
of  phthalic anhydride.  The general reactons for their formation are shown
in  equations (1-1) and (1-2) where R and R1 are alkyl groups.
                                 ROH
                                 R'OH
                                                                      (1-1)
                                          H20
      Reaction of the anhydride (1-1) proceeds under much milder conditions
than  does the esterification of the remaining carboxyl group (1-2).  Often the
anhydride is reacted with an alcohol under relatively mild conditions to pro-
duce  the monoester which is then transferred to another vessel  for conversion
to the diester.  If a diester with R and R1 the same is desired, the same
alcohol will be used in both reaction steps.  If a mixed diester is desired,
remnants of the first alcohol will be removed from the monoester before reac-
tion  of the second carboxylic acid group with a second alcohol.  Usually an
excess of alcohol is used and the unreacted portion recycled.  Water formed-
by the second esterification is removed from the system to drive the reaction
to completion.

     The synthesis of 2-ethylhexyl tall ate proceeds according to the typical
esterification reaction shown in equation 1-3.   The reaction may be catalyzed
by sulfuric acid or hydrogen chloride:
RCOOH + R'OH £  RCOOR1 + H20
                                                                       (1-3)
The equilibrium reaction may be driven toward completion by several methods.
With alcohols of intermediate chain length (such as 2-ethylhexanol) which
are insoluble in water, stoichiometric quantities of the reactants are used
and the water is removed by azeotropic distillation.  With short chain alcohols,
molar ratios of alcohol to fatty acid in the order of 10 or 20 to  1 are used.
At such high ratios the reaction equilibrium is shifted in accordance with  the
law of mass action, giving yields of 95 percent or better.
                                    15

-------
     Polymeric plasticizers are linear polyesters produced by the  polymeri-
zation/esterification of an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid (usually adipic  acid)
with either pure or mixed glycols,  e.g.:
                                      ROH
 X HOOC-(CH2K-COOH
X|HOCH2-CHOH

        CH3
  0        0
  ii        it
•0-C-(CH2K-C-OCH2-CH-

                  CH3
OR1  (1-4)
R and R1 are monofunctional reactants which are introduced at a suitable
stage in the reaction to control the molecular weight and residual  functional-
ity.  Typically, the average molecular weight of these esters is about 2000,
but weights of from 800 to well over 6000 are produced for specialty applica-
tions.

2.  Input Materials - The feed to the esterification unit will  include an acid
(or acid anhydride), an alcohol, and a catalyst.  The reaction vessel  may be
sparged with an inert gas (C02 or N2) to suppress unwanted side reactions.  In
some cases an inert solvent will be added.  Besides phthalic anhydride, other
dibasic acids commonly used include adipic, sebacic, azelaic and fatty acids
such as oleic and stearic.

     Esters most commonly used as plasticizers  include those produced by com-
bining  dicarboxylic acids with aliphatic alcohols containing one to thirteen
carbon  atoms and polyesters from the combination of dicarboxylic acids with
polyhydric alcohols.  The specific alcohol (or  alcohols) and acid used to pre-
pare any given ester can be determined from the name of the ester.  For exam-
ple, di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate is prepared by  reacting two moles of 2-ethyl-
hexyl alcohol with each mole of phthalic acid  (phthalic anhydride).  One process
using a "non-acidic" catalyst  is reported to require 66.9 kg 2-ethylhexanol and
38.2 kg phthalic anhydride per 100 kg of di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (alternate
terminology:  dioctylphthalate, OOP) product.   High efficiency is claimed for
the process, so processes using other catalysts may require more input materials
for the same amount of product.

3.   Operating Parameters - Temperatures ranging from 35 to  180°C have been
reported for esterification processes.  In most cases, heat  is  required.
Temperatures of 150-160 C have been listed for  the production of di(2-ethyl-
hexyl phthalate.  Reported pressures range from atmospheric  to  170  kPa.   Batch
reaction times of 6 to 20 hours have been given.

     Catalysts for esterification of carboxylic acids are acids  (Lewis acids,
species having an electron deficit in the outer shell, may be used).   Sulfuric
acid and toluenesulfonic acid are the catalysts most often used.  Acidic  ca-
tion exchange resins may be used as catalysts,  particularly  in  large-scale
continuous processes.

4.   Utilities - One process for the preparation of di(2-ethylhexyl)  phthalate
lists a requirement of 75 kg steam per kg of product.   It is not clear whether
this value is representative of other processes.  Electricity will  be  required
for pumping and stirring and cooling water will be needed; no quantitative in-
formation  was available in the references consulted.
                                      16

-------
5.  Waste Streams - Atmospheric emissions consist primarily of fugitive emissions
from processing equipment and evaporation of volatile components from liquid
wastes.  In general, the most volatile compounds associated with plasticizer
esters prepared from carboxylic acids and alcohols are the alcohols used as raw
materials.  Unreacted alcohols are present in process streams and wastewater.

     Wastewater comes from distillation of crude products, from condensate from
steam stripping, from catalyst neutralization and crude product washing operations,
and from filter backwash.  Some equipment is used for the production of more
than one ester.  Equipment washdown which is required when changing from produc-
tion of one ester to another generates wastewater.  The wash water contains
dilute caustic (from catalyst neutralization), sulfates (assuming sulfuric
acid catalyst), unreacted alcohol, monoester, and relatively small  amounts
of other organic contaminants.

              Production of  Phosphate Esters by Esterification


 1.   Function  -  Phosphate plasticizers are prepared by condensation of POC13
 (phosphorous  oxychloride) with an alcohol or a mixture of alcohols.  Cresols,
 phenols  or xylenols are most  commonly used.  Mixed alkyl-aryl esters may be
 prepared by successive reaction with appropriate alcohols.  The reaction for
 cresols  may be  written:

    3m-, p-CsMCHsJOH + POC13  —*  [C6MCH3)0]3 PO +  3HC1           (2-1)

 The  production  of  HC1 causes  some processing problems.   Hydrogen chloride
 can  be removed  by  a current of air or neutralized by the addition of alkali.
 Glass-lined or  alloy  kettles  are used because the reaction mixture is highly
 corrosive.   The process may employ a distillation column for preliminary pur-
 ification  of the alcohol feed, a reactor, an ester refining column (for wash-
 ing),  a  stripping  column, and a filter.  Steam ejector jets and barometric
 condensers  may  be  employed  for providing reduced pressures.

     Although variations may exist  in the sequence of operations and the amount
 of purification required for  different  applications, standard purification
 techniques are  used.  Preliminary purification typically involves direct
 flash  distillation of the crude reaction mixture and washing with dilute
 caustic.   The dilute  caustic  neutralizes residual HC1, hydrolyzes and ex-
 tracts traces of partial esten"fication products, and extracts unreacted
 cresylic compounds.   Addition of lime to the crude reaction mixture before
 distillation  has been reported as a means of reducing corrosion.  Final
 purification  of plasticizer-grade products employs further washing with di-
 lute caustic  and water, steam stripping, treatment with dilute permanganate
 solution,  dehydration by heating under reduced pressure, bleaching with
 activated  carbon and  filtration.  The use of an amphoteric metal in conjunc-
 tion with  an  alkaline wash  has been reported to improve the color of the
 product.

 2.   Input Materials - The most common phosphate ester used as a plasticizer
 is tricresyl  phosphate.  Phosphorous oxychloride (POC13) and a mixture of
 m- and p-cresols,  which may contain as much as 30 to 40 percent xylenols,
 are input materials for plasticizer-grade tricresylphosphate.  The ortho
 form of  tricresyl  phosphate is considerably more toxic than esters derived
 from other  isomers.  Therefore, the o-cresol content of the cresol feed is
 usually  less  than  three percent.

 3.  Operating Parameters -   Condensation of cresols and phosphorous oxychlor-
 ide is carried  out at elevated temperatures.  Depending on the catalyst
 used,  temperatures range from 150 to 300°C.  A slight excess of cresol fa-
 vors complete esterification.   Condensation times of 6 to 9 hours at 200°C
 are typical when metal halide catalysts such as MgCl2 are used.  Condensation
may be carried out under moderate pressure to minimize loss of phosphorous
oxychloride in the HC1 off-gas; otherwise, each process step is carried out
under  reduced pressure.

4.  Utilities - No information was found in the literature consulted for this
study.  Steam, cooling water and process heaters will be required.

5.  Waste Streams - Emissions of cresols (and/or other aromatic alcohols) to
the atmosphere can be expected from barometric condensers.

    Waste water comes from barometric condensers, from HC1 scrubbers and from
preliminary and final purification steps.  Caustic washing produces waste
water containing dilute caustic, unreacted phenols and partial  esters.   Waste
water from final purification contains additives washed from the product such
as permanganate or permanganate reduction products.  Table 7 lists pollutants
from one facility producing tricresylphosphate.

    The major solid waste from the production of phosphate esters is spent
activated carbon from the final purification step.

                                   Epoxidation

 1.    Function - Epoxidation is defined as the reaction in which double bonds
 in unsaturated (olefinic) esters are converted to cyclic three-membered
 ethers by an active oxygen agent, as in equation 3-1.

                            (3-1)
 Hydrogen peroxide is the principal oxygen source for this  conversion  but it
 must be transformed into a more active form for effective  use in  commercial
 epoxidation.  Most production systems involve the preparation of  peroxyacetic
 acid (Equation 3-2) which is then thought to interact with this double  bond
 according to Equation 3-3.
                  22
                                                                     (3-2)

Where possible, epoxidation reactions are carried out with peroxyacetic acid
formed in situ.  A one step reaction is employed in which the peroxyacetic
acid is formed and used in the presence of the material  to be epoxidized.
The hydrogen peroxide is charged to the reaction vessel  or the unsaturated
ester, a catalyst, and glacial acetic acid.  Reaction conditions must be
controlled to minimize subsequent opening of the epoxy ring and formation
of unwanted by-products.

     In the widely used Archer-Daniels-Midland process,  epoxy ring opening by
the sulfuric acid catalyst is retarded because the system is heterogeneous,
consisting of an oil  phase and an aqueous phase containing the hydrogen per-
oxide and acetic acid.  In another process based on sulfuric acid catalyses
(FMC Corporation) an  inert solvent such as benzene or hexane is used to re-
duce the effect of sulfuric acid in catalyzing epoxy ring opening.  Epoxida-
tion may be catalyzed also by the addition of poly(styrenesulfonic acid) resin.
                                      24

-------
Resin catalyzed systems are characterized by high epoxy yields, little by-
product formation, nearly complete elimination of olefinic structure, low
reaction temperatures and short reaction times.  Because of the relative
expense of the resin catalyst, conservation measures are mandatory.  These
involve either recycle of the resin or the use of minimal quantities of
resin with corresponding increases in reaction temperature and time.

     Batch production methods are used for epoxidation reactions,  but con-
siderable work on development of continuous production systems has been
completed.   Such methods have been found to offer promise and might be
adopted if demand for epoxidized products continues to grow.

     In the FMC process described above, the reaction is carried out in  a
stainless steel reaction vessel  fitted with an agitator, cooling coils,
reflux condenser, vent, rupture disc,  sample line,  direct and recording
thermometers, feed lines and a manhole.   The vessel  is equipped with a system
for automatically flooding the reaction  with water in emergencies.

     The Archer-Daniels-Midland system is apparently a two-step epoxidation
process in which fresh unsaturated ester is partially epoxidized by con-
tinuous agitation with a semi-spent acid containing 1 to 2 percent sulfuric
acid, 25 to 30 percent acetic acid and 5 to 6 percent unused  active oxygen.
The partially epoxidized ester is then separated  from the aqueous  (acid)
phase and reacted with a fresh acid (hydrogen peroxide and acetic  acid with
sulfuric acid as a catalyst) to complete its epoxidation.  The acid from
this final  epoxidation is then used to partially  epoxidize fresh unsaturated
ester as described above.

2.   Input Materials - The unsaturated ester may  be a natural  oil  such as
soybean oil or linseed oil  or it may be  one of a  number of synthetics such
as the n-butyl or 2-ethylhexyl esters  of tall  oil  acid or oleic acid.
Peroxyacetic acid may be preformed and added in a solvent or  it may be formed
in situ from hydrogen peroxide and acetic acid in the presence of  a catalyst
and the unsaturated ester.   Table 8 lists quantities of input materials  for
sulfuric acid catalyzed batch epoxidation of soybean oil  by the FMC process.

-------
     In processes using poly(styrenesulfonic acid) resin as a catalyst,
almost complete epoxidation occurs when relatively large amounts of the
resin are used.  In a typical reaction, a quantity of fatty oil or ester
containing 1.0 mole of unsaturation is mixed with 0.55 moles of glacial
acetic acid and 12 percent dry resin based on the weight of epoxidizable
material.  Hydrogen peroxide (1.1 moles) is added slowly to facilitate con-
trol of the reaction temperature.  After the reaction has reached completion
the liquid is decanted or filtered, leaving the resin catalyst in the reactor
for succeeding runs.

     Specific data relating to reaction efficiency of the various methods
for epoxidation of unsaturated esters were not found in the sources con-
sulted for this study.  A typical materials list for the epoxidation of
soybean oil (iodine value of 130) using the repeated resin process is
shown in Table 9.

3.   Operating Parameters - The FMC process for epoxidation of soybean oil
employs a stainless steel reaction vessel with a capacity of 2.27 m3 (600 gal)
Common (18-8) stainless steel such as types 304 and 316 are satisfactory
for both peroxyacetic acid formation and epoxidation reactions, with type
316 preferred.  Welds in reactors and tanks are avoided as much as possible
since the welds contribute to decomposition of active oxygen and may be
subject to corrosion.  Storage tanks for hydrogen peroxide are constructed
of high-purity (99.6%) aluminum.  All equipment must be thoroughly cleaned
to remove any foreign materials which would decompose active oxygen.  The
stainless steel surfaces are passivated with nitric acid or glacial acetic
acid containing small amounts of hydrogen peroxide.  Continued use tends
to improve the passive condition of the equipment surfaces.

     Reaction times and temperatures vary according to the particular method
used for epoxidation as shown in Table 10.

4.   Utilities - No quantitative information was found on utility requirements.
Electricity is required for pumping  and agitation.  Most process configura-
tions require steam for initial heating and cooling water for temperature
control during the reaction.

5.   Waste Streams - No information was available on the amount or composition
of waste streams.  Fugitive emissions of acetic acid vapors can be expected.
In processes using sulfuric acid catalyst, spent process water will contain
high concentrations of sulfates, be saturated with epoxidized oil  product and
contain materials added to destroy peroxides.  In processes using ion-exchange
resins the spent process water will have a lower sulfate content but will
contain resin degradation products.  Additional waste water comes from oper-
ations which wash the product.  These waters will contain the same materials
as spent process liquors but in lower concentrations in most cases.  Spent
resin used as catalyst is a solid waste.

 16. ABSTRACT
   The catalog of Industrial Process  Profiles for Environmental Use was  developed as an
   aid in defining the environmental  impacts  of industrial activity in the United States
   Entries for each industry are  in consistent format and form separate  chapters of the
   study.   The Plasticizer Industry includes  manufacturers who produce primary syn-
   thetic organic plasticizers.   Manufacturers who refine or otherwise upgrade natural
   plasticizers such as mineral oil or  castor oil are not included.  Plasticizers are
   materials which are added to organic polymers to facilitate processing,to modify the
   properties of the product, or  both.  In  many cases, the distinction between plasti-
   cizers and other additives, such as  extender oils, flame retardants,  processing
   aids  and  lubricants are often  blurred.   Three process flow sheets and three process
   descriptions have been prepared to characterize the industry.  Within each process
   description available data have been presented on input materials, operating
   parameters, utility requirements and waste streams.  Data related to  the subject
   matter, including company and  product data, are included as appendices.
