The present invention relates to a method of producing anhydrosugar alcohol by dehydrating sugar alcohol at high pressure in the presence of a catalyst which is less acidic than a conventional sulfuric acid catalyst and which can suppress side reactions at high temperature. According to the present invention, anhydrosugar alcohol can be produced in a yield similar to that in a vacuum reaction.

Method for producing anhydrosugar alcohol by high-pressure reaction

The present invention relates to a method of producing and purifying a high-purity anhydrosugar alcohol in high yield by a simple process and apparatus, the method includes the steps of: allowing a sugar alcohol to react in the presence of an acid catalyst in a reactor, and, at the same time, evaporating a product of the reaction; cooling the evaporated product to remove water and obtain a crude anhydrosugar alcohol; and introducing the crude anhydrosugar alcohol into a melt crystallization process to obtain a high-purity anhydrosugar alcohol.

Efficient method for producing and purifying anhydrous sugar alcohol

The present invention relates to a method for producing anhydrosugar alcohol, and more particularly to a method of producing anhydrosugar alcohol using a solvent including at least two components that form an azeotrope with water at atmospheric pressure and that have significantly different boiling points. The method for producing anhydrosugar alcohol according to the present invention can increase the yield of anhydrosugar alcohol by efficiently controlling the reaction temperature by use of a solvent including at least two components that form an azeotrope with water at atmospheric pressure and that have significantly different boiling points.

Method for producing anhydrous sugar alcohol using azeotropic distillation

A method for producing anhydrosugar alcohol according to the present invention can increase the yield of anhydrosugar alcohol even in the absence of a catalyst or in the presence of a small amount of a transition metal salt catalyst by controlling the temperature of a high-temperature reaction, which converts sugar alcohol to anhydrosugar alcohol, in two steps, that is, a first low-temperature reaction step and a second high-temperature reaction step.
