Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for preparing polyisocyanates from natural raw material sources by starting from a biomass material and preparing a composition which comprises low molecular mass aromatics that contain per molecule at least one hydroxyl group or at least one alkoxy group (oxyaromatics), reacting these oxyaromatics to form the corresponding aromatic amines, and, optionally after condensation with formaldehyde, carrying out further reaction with phosgene to form compounds containing isocyanate groups.
Abstract:
The use of a zeolite catalyst comprising at least one transition metal and in addition sulfur and/or phosphorus atoms for reducing the content of nitrogen oxides in a gas is provided, and a process for reducing the content of nitrogen oxides in a gas by bringing this gas into contact with such a zeolite catalyst is also provided.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for isomerizing a saturated, branched, and cyclical hydrocarbon, wherein a tertiary C atom of the hydrocarbon is converted into a secondary C atom when isomerizing, in that the isomerization is performed in the presence of a super-acid ionic liquid, comprising an organic cation and an inorganic anion, wherein the anion is a super-acid aluminum trichloride Lewis base adduct, and a copper(II) compound.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for the treatment of a gas stream containing nitrogen oxides comprising the steps of: (1) providing a gas stream containing one or more nitrogen oxides; (2) contacting the gas stream provided in step (1) with a transition metal containing zeolitic material having a BEA-type framework structure for reacting one or more of the nitrogen oxides; wherein the zeolitic material is obtainable from an organotemplate-free synthetic process, as well as to an apparatus for the treatment of a gas stream comprising containing nitrogen oxides.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing cyclohexane by isomerizing a hydrocarbon mixture (KG1) containing methylcyclopentane (MCP) in the presence of a catalyst. The catalyst is preferably an acidic ionic liquid. A flow (S1) originating from a steam cracking process is used as a starting material. The hydrocarbon mixture (KG1) is obtained from said stream (S1) in a device for removing aromatics. The hydrocarbon mixture has a reduced aromatic content in comparison with the flow (S1). (KG1) can also be (nearly) free of aromatics. In dependence on the type and amount of the aromatics remaining in the hydrocarbon mixture (KG1), in particular if benzene is present, a hydrogenation of (KG1) additionally can be performed before the isomerization. Furthermore, additional purification steps can optionally be performed before or after the isomerization or hydrogenation in dependence on the presence of other components of (KG1). Preferably high-purity cyclohexane (in accordance with specifications) is isolated from the hydrocarbon mixture (KG2) arising during the isomerization, wherein the specifications are given, for example, by the use of the cyclohexane for the production of caprolactam known to the person skilled in the art.
