Abstract:  The influence of input factors (mole ratios formaldehyde: acetaldehyde, alkali: acetaldehyde and initial concentration of aldehydes) on fundamental technological characteristics of discontinuous production of pentaerythritol from formaldehyde and acetaldehyde in aqueous alkaline medium was investigated. The obtained relations were processed and transformed into complete quadratic functions which were used for determining the optimum technological conditions from the view-point of individual characteristics as well as their simultaneous evaluation.
