Abstract:
Process for producing nickel(0)-phosphorus ligand complexes containing at least one nickel(0) central atom and at least one phosphorus-containing ligand, by reacting a nickel(II) compound with a reducing agent in the presence of the ligand to give a reaction mixture, characterized in that, a) in the reaction the molar ratio of reducing agent:nickel(II) compound is 1:1 to 1000:1, calculated as molar ratio of redox equivalents, b) in the reaction the molar ratio of phosphorus-containing ligand:nickel(II) compound is at most 30:1, calculated as molar ratio of P atoms:Ni atoms, c) in the resultant reaction mixture the nickel(0) content is at most 1.3% by weight, and d) the resultant reaction mixture is extracted by adding at least one dinitrile and at least one hydrocarbon, at least two immiscible phases forming.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for workup of a stream (1) comprising butene and/or butadiene, butane, hydrogen and/or nitrogen and carbon dioxide, comprising the following steps: (a) absorption of the stream (1) comprising butene and/or butadiene, butane, hydrogen and/or nitrogen, with or without carbon dioxide, with a mixture (5) comprising 80 to 97% by weight of N-methylpyrrolidone and 3 to 20% by weight of water to obtain a stream (9) comprising N-methylpyrrolidone, water, butene and/or butadiene, and butane, with or without carbon dioxide, and a stream (7) comprising hydrogen and/or nitrogen and butane, (b) extractive distillation of the stream (9) comprising N-methylpyrrolidone, water, butene and/or butadiene, and butane, with or without carbon dioxide, with a stream (13) comprising 80 to 97% by weight of N-methylpyrrolidone and 3 to 20% by weight of water to separate the stream (9) comprising N-methylpyrrolidone, water, butene and/or butadiene, and butane, with or without carbon dioxide, into a stream (17) comprising N-methylpyrrolidone, water, butene and/or butadiene, and a stream (15) comprising essentially butane, with or without carbon dioxide, (c) distillation of the stream (17) comprising N-methylpyrrolidone, water, butene and/or butadiene into a stream (23) comprising essentially N-methylpyrrolidone and water, and a stream (21) comprising butene and/or butadiene.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a reactor (1) in the form of a horizontal cylinder for carrying out autothermal gas phase dehydrogenbation of a hydrocarbon-containing gas flow (2) by means of an oxygen-containing gas flow (3), with a reaction mixture being obtained, on a heterogeneous catalyst in the form of a monolith (4), characterized in that the interior of the reactor (1) is divided by a detachable cylindrical or prismatic housing G, which is disposed in the longitudinal direction of the reactor (1), gastight in the circumferential direction and open at both end faces thereof, into an inner area A, having one or a plurality of catalytically active zones (5), in which are provided a packing of monoliths (4) stacked on, adjacent, and above one another, and, in front of each catalytically active zone (5), a mixing zone (6) having fixed installations, and an outer area B disposed coaxially to the inner area A.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for purifying a contaminant-laden current by bringing the current to be purified in contact with a heterogeneous photocatalyst and irradiating it with light, wherein it is brought into contact in the presence of at least one compound, which is dissolved in the current and contains at least one metal selected from the group consisting of iron, chromium, nickel, cobalt, manganese, and mixtures thereof, and to the use of a heterogeneous photocatalyst for purifying a contaminant-laden current, wherein at least one compound containing at least one metal selected from the group consisting of iron, chromium, nickel, cobalt, manganese, and mixtures thereof, is present in dissolved form in the current to be purified.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing triethylenetetramine that is substituted with at least one methyl group (Me-TETA or methyl-substituted TETA compounds). Me-TETA is produced by hydrogenating biscyanomethyl imidazolidine (BCMI) in the presence of a catalyst. The present invention further relates to methyl-substituted TETA compounds as such. The present invention further relates to the use of methyl-substituted TETA compounds as an educt or intermediate product in the production of, for example, coatings or adhesives.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for extractive separation of nickel (0) complexes with phosphorous ligands, from a reaction product of a hydrocyanation of unsaturated mononitriles to give dinitriles, by means of extraction with a hydrocarbon, wherein a phase separation of the hydrocarbon and the nitrile-containing solution into two phases occurs, by addition of a polar additive to the reaction product (feed stream) and/or the extraction stage.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for the extractive separation of homogeneously dissolved catalysts from a reaction product from a hydrocyanation of unsaturated mononitriles to dinitriles, by extraction with a carbon material (K), characterised in that a) a non-polar aprotic liquid (F) is added to the reaction product to give a stream (I) and b) the stream (I) is extracted with a carbon material (K) at a temperature (T), to give a stream (II), containing the carbon material (K), enriched with the catalyst and a stream (III), stripped of catalyst.
