According to Shaikh and Sivaram's 1996 review of organic carbonates in 1996 (volume 96, page 951-976), the majority of carbonates are prepared by the phosgenation of hydroxy compounds. I'm aware that the startup company Novomer aims to make propylene carbonate from propylene oxide and CO2 ( http://www.novomer.com/our-technology), but as far as I know, the phosgenation route is still the predominant way this compound is manufactured. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Turricanfan ( talk • contribs) 17:21, 28 October 2014 (UTC)
the most important method for producing carbonic esters"). Ethylene and propylene carbonates are the exceptions, probably because the strain-induced reactivity. Compared to diphenyl- and dimethylcarbonate, the cyclic are made on a modest scale.-- Smokefoot ( talk) 02:08, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
Propylene carbonate can be used to preferentially absorb CO2 from synthesis gas or other gas mixtures at a working pressure of 250 psig, for example. The CO2 can be removed from the propylene carbonate using a steam jet. I operated a pilot plant using this technology.
