Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for hydrogenating organic nitriles by means of hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst in a reactor, where the shaped body catalyst is arranged in a fixed bed, wherein the shaped body in the shape of spheres or rods has in each case a diameter of 3 mm or less, in the shape of tablets a height of 4 mm or less, and in the case of all other geometries in each case has an equivalent diameter L = 1/a' of 0.70 mm or less, where a' is the external surface area per unit volume (mms 2/mmp 3), with: (I) where Ap is the external surface area of the catalyst particle (mms 2) and Vp is the volume of the catalyst particle (mmp 3). The present invention further relates to a process for preparing downstream products of isophoronediamine (IPDA) or N,N-dimethylaminopropylamine (DMAPA) from amines prepared according to the invention.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing an amine by reacting a primary or secondary alcohol, aldehyde and/or ketone with hydrogen and a nitrogen compound, selected from the group containing ammonia and primary and secondary amines, in the presence of a supported catalyst that contains copper, nickel and cobalt. According to the invention, the catalytically active mass of the catalyst, prior to the reduction of the same using hydrogen, contains oxygen-containing compounds of aluminium, copper, nickel and cobalt and an amount ranging between 0.2 and 5.0 wt. % of oxygen-containing compounds of tin, calculated as SnO. The invention also relates to catalysts defined as above.
Abstract:
A process for preparing a primary amine with a tertiary alpha carbon atom by reacting a tertiary alcohol with ammonia in the presence of a heterogeneous catalyst, by performing the reaction in the presence of a nonmicroporous nonzeolitic aluminosilicate as a catalyst, said aluminosilicate having a molar Al/Si ratio in the range from 0.1 to 30.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for isomerizing olefins from olefin-containing hydrocarbon mixtures having (4) to (20) C atoms at temperatures from 20 to 200°C and pressures from 1 to 200 bar in the liquid phase in the presence of a heterogenic catalyst, characterized in that a catalyst is used comprising on an aluminum oxide carrier 1 to 20 weight % nickel in oxide form and 1 to 20 weight % of at least one element of the group VIB.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for the production of hydroformylation products from olefins having at least four carbon atoms. A high amount of the linear Ci-olefins with terminal double bonds that are present in the inlet comprising olefins, and also of the linear Ci-olefins having internal double bonds are converted to hydroformylation products. The invention further relates to a method for the production of 2-propylheptanol, comprising said hydroformylation method.
Abstract:
The invention relates to the production of alkylamines by reacting in a first process step an olefin with ammonia, a primary amine and/or a secondary amine under hydroamination conditions and then reacting the hydroamination product(s) so obtained in a second process step under transalkylation conditions.
