L'oxyde de magnésium « actif » (B) utilisé présente une surface spécifique de 145 m2/g et une pureté en MgO de 90 %.The “active” magnesium oxide (B) used has a specific surface of 145 m 2 / g and a purity of MgO of 90%.

Dans un réacteur d'un litre résistant à des pressions de 35 kg/cm2 et équipé d'un système d'agitation, on charge :

  • - 146 g de paradodécyl phénol sulfurisé (A) (soit environ 0,5 mole de OH phénolique) ;

On prépare séparément une suspension de 11 g de l'oxyde de magnésium actif (B) (soit 0,25 mole) dans 120 g de méthanol et on additionne cette suspension au mélange précédent.A suspension of 11 g of the active magnesium oxide (B) (ie 0.25 mol) in 120 g of methanol is prepared separately and this suspension is added to the preceding mixture.

Le mélange ainsi obtenu est alors carbonaté à 20°C sous agitation en introduisant dans le réacteur de l'anhydride carbonique sous une pression de 10 kg/cm2 pendant 8 heures.The mixture thus obtained is then carbonated at 20 ° C with stirring by introducing into the reactor carbon dioxide under a pressure of 10 kg / cm 2 for 8 hours.

Le mélange est carbonaté pendant 10 heures à température ambiante sous une pression de 10 kg/cm2 d'anhydride carbonique.The mixture is carbonated for 10 hours at room temperature under a pressure of 10 kg / cm 2 of carbon dioxide.

Au bout de ce temps le mélange est ramené à pression atmosphérique et les alcools sont éliminés par distillation en chauffant le produit jusqu'à 180 °C sous vide pour bien éliminer l'hexanol.At the end of this time the mixture is brought back to atmospheric pressure and the alcohols are removed by distillation by heating the product to 180 ° C. under vacuum to properly remove the hexanol.

On obtient ainsi 270 g de produit brut que l'on filtre sur 20 g de terre de filtration à l'aide de'20 g d'huile 100 Neutral supplémentaire.270 g of crude product are thus obtained which are filtered through 20 g of filtration earth using 20 g of additional 100 Neutral oil.
