Application

  • Organic Salts and 1,3,5-Trioxane Synthesis: Discusses the effect of various organic salts on the synthesis of 1,3,5-Trioxane, indicating significant influences on yield due to the salts′ properties (Yin et al., 2016).
  • Separation Technologies: Explores the use of imidazolium-based polyionic liquids for separating the 1,3,5-Trioxane-Water/Ethanol-Water system, based on experimental verification and molecular simulations (Qu et al., 2022).
  • Production from Dimethoxymethane: Studies polyoxymethylene dimethyl ethers production from dimethoxymethane and 1,3,5-Trioxane over SO42-/ZrO2-TiO2, providing insights into efficient production processes (Yao et al., 2023).
