Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing plastics using 1,6-hexanediol with an aldehyde content of less than 500 ppm, to a method for producing 1,6-hexanediol with an aldehyde content of less than 500 ppm, and to 1,6-hexanediol with an aldehyde content of less than 500 ppm.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing 1,6-hexanediol, preferably of at least 99.5% purity, which hexanediol is especially substantially free from 1,4 cyclohexanediols, starting from a carboxylic acid mixture which is obtained as a byproduct of the catalytic oxidation of cyclohexane to cyclohexanone/cyclohexanol with oxygen or gases containing oxygen and by extraction of the reaction mixture with water, and by hydrogenation of the carboxylic acid mixture, esterification and hydrogenation of a partial flow to hexanediol.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing at least one cyclic compound comprising Z cycles and between 7 and 16 C atoms with one carbonyl group, said method comprising at least the following steps: (a1) oxidation of a composition (A), at least containing one cyclic olefin with Z cycles and between 7 and 16 C atoms and at least two C-C double bonds, using dinitrogen monoxide, to obtain a composition (A1); (a2) isolation of the at least one cyclic olefin comprising Z cycles and between 7 and 16 C atoms with at least two C-C double bonds from the composition (A1) to obtain a composition (A2); and (b) distillatory treatment of the composition (A2) from step (a2) to obtain a composition (B) containing the at least one cyclic compound with Z cycles and between 7 and 16 C atoms with one carbonyl group and less than 1.0 wt. % of the at least one compound comprising Z-1 cycles and between 7 and 16 C atoms with at least one aldehyde group. According to the invention, Z can be 1, 2, 3 or 4.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for purifying a composition (I) containing at least one cyclic ketone having 7 to 16 C atoms. The method encompasses the thermal treatment of the composition (I) with at least one acid, then further purification by a method selected from the group consisting of destillation, extraction and crystallization. The invention also relates to a method for producing cyclododecanone, which includes a purification of this type, and to the use of at least one acid for purifying a composition (I) containing at least one cyclic ketone having 7 to 16 C atoms by thermal treatment of the composition (I) with the acid.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a catalyst provided in the form of an extrudate, which contains 5 to 85 % by weight of copper oxide and comprises, in the active material and as binders, the same oxidic carrier material. The invention also relates to the use of the catalyst for hydrogenating carbonyl compounds.
Abstract:
The object of the present invention is a method for producing ε-caprolactone in a purity greater than 99% by cyclization of 6-hydroxycaproic acid ester in the liquid phase at 150 to 400°C and 1 to 1020 hPa abs., separation and condensation of the compounds which are volatile under cyclization conditions, characterized in that the remaining sump product of the cyclization is thermally treated in at least one further reactor, volatile compounds are separated and condensed, and ε-caprolactone is obtained from the condensate by distillation.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for the synthesis of 2-methyltetrahydrofuran by the one-step hydrogenation of furfural with a hydrogen-containing gas in the presence of at least one support catalyst containing a noble metal of group 8, 9, and/or 10 of the periodic system of elements.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a process for preparing 2-methyltetra-hydrofuran by one-stage hydrogenation of furfural with a hydrogen-containing gas in the presence of a structured bed composed of at least one copper catalyst and at least one catalyst which comprises at least one noble metal from groups 8, 9 and/or 10 of the Periodic Table of the Elements on a support material.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing a cyclic ketone that has 7 to 16 C atoms. Said method encompasses at least the following stages: (a) a composition (I) at least containing a cyclic olefin with 7 to 16 C atoms, including at least one C-C double bond, is oxidized by means of dinitrogen monoxide so as to obtain a composition (A); (b) composition (A) is treated with at least one base so as to obtain a composition (B).
