The results of the solubility research of the polycomponent water organic systems with neopentylglycol, sodium formate and organic solvents are presented. The temperature concentration parameters of the extraction and crystallization processes of neopentylglycol and sodium formate are identified on the bases of the solubility diagrams obtained, the technological diagrams of the processes are given theoretical basis and enlarged laboratory experiment was carried out.

The present work is devoted to development of methods for the synthesis of alkoxides of alkali metals. The main factors determining the rate of reaction of sodium with alcohols is a contact surface area solid and liquid phases and the power of the appropriate alcohol as acids. We studied the dependence of the rate of interaction of sodium metal with a variety of alcohols from their acid dissociation constant pKa. To slow the rates of interaction of sodium and potassium with alcohols were used their amalgams. Amalgam was obtained by electrolysis of sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide. The interaction process alkali metal amalgam flows quietly enough, even in the case of methyl alcohol and potassium amalgam. Technological scheme involves three stages: the electrolysis of sodium hydroxide at ordinary electrolytic with flowing mercury cathode; an anodic dissolution of the amalgam in an alcohol solution and recovering the sodium or potassium alkoxides. The proposed method allows the synthesis of sodium and potassium alkoxides in soft and controlled conditions.
