Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for the recovery of diphenylmethane diamine, comprising the steps of A) reaction of aniline with formaldehyde in the presence of a mineral acid, B) neutralization of the mineral acid with a base, C) separation of the organic and inorganic phase, D) removal of the base from the inorganic phase by adsorption, c) recovery of the mineral acid.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing an isocyanate, comprising hydrogenation of an amimne-ciontaining mixture (Gi) in the presence of a copper containing hydrogenation catalyst to give a mixture (Gii) containing the amine and reacting the mixture (Gii) with phosgene to give a mixture (Gii) containing the isocyanate. The invention further relates to the isocyanate which may be produced by said method.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing ε-caprolactone from 6-hydroxycapronic acid ester in the gaseous phase in the presence of active carbon as catalyst and subsequent distillation.
Abstract:
The invention relates to methods for producing 1,6-hexanediol and very pure e-caprolactone from a dicarboxylic acid solution (DCL), comprising steps (a) esterification of the DCL with alcohols, (b) partial catalytic hydrogenation of the esters, (c) separation by distillation of 1,6-hexanediol and low-boiling fractions as a top product, and (d) cyclization of the 6-hydroxycaproic acid ester contained in the bottom fraction in the presence of an alcohol boiling at a temperature exceeding the boiling point of caprolactane.
