Large-scale ozonolysis reactions on the world's largest plant
Around 20% of DSM Exclusive Synthesis / Intermediates current business is
generated by oxidative transformations. These activities are supported by an
ongoing multi-center program, which focuses on the identification of new
oxidation technologies and their further development in-house. Our facility in
Linz also offers the world's largest plant for performing large-scale
ozonolysis reactions.
Chemical transformations
The program focuses on four chemical transformations:
The common feature of these oxidizing agents is that their reduction products
are either environmentally benign (water, succinimide), or in-house techniques
have been developed to recycle them (N-halo-succinimides, NaIO4).
