Isopropyl ether, physical properties

Vinyl Ethers. The principal commercial vinyl ethers are methyl vinyl ether (methoxyethene, C H O) [107-25-5], ethyl vinyl ether (ethoxyethene, C HgO) [104-92-2], and butyl vinyl ether (1-ethenyloxybutane, C H 20) [111-34-2]. (See Table 8 for physical properties.) Others such as the isopropyl, isobutyl, hydroxybutyl, decyl, hexadecyl, and octadecyl ethers, as well as the divinyl ethers of butanediol and of triethylene glycol, have been offered as development chemicals (see Ethers).

Illustration 1. Acetic acid is to be extracted from water by isopropyl ether in a tower packed with carbon Raschig rings, ether dispersed. Flow rates are to be 30 cu. ft./hr. ether, 45 cu. ft./hr. water. Average physical properties are aqueous phase density pc = 63.0 Ib./cu. ft., viscosity mc = 3.1 centipoises ether phase density pD = 45.6 Ib./cu. ft. interfacial tension [Pg.308]

The Sepasolv MPE solvent is described as a mixture of polyethylene glycol methyl isopropyl ethers with a mean molecular weight of about 316. Physical properties of the solvent are given in Table 14-14. Bucklin and Schendel (1985) and Wdifer et al. (1980) present gas solubility data that show MPE gas solubilities are similar to those of the Selexol solution.
