The catalyst comprises an active substance comprising vanadium, alkali metal compounds and sulfate applied to a support comprising naturally occurring diatomaceous earths, wherein the support comprises at least two different naturally occurring uncalcined diatomaceous earths which differ in terms of the structure type of the siliceous algae from which they are derived.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for producing propylene oxide comprising (I) reacting propene with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of a catalyst to give a mixture (Gl) comprising propylene oxide, unreacted propene, and oxygen; (II) separating propylene oxide from mixture (Gl) to give a mixture (GII) comprising propene and oxygen; (III) reducing the oxygen comprised in mixture (GII) at least partially by reaction with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst comprising Sn and at least one noble metal.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for the production of 3-aminomethyl-3,5,5-trimethylcyclohexylamine (isophorondiamine, IPDA) with a cis/trans isomer ratio of at least 70/30 from 3-cyano-3,5,5-trimethylcyclohexanon (isophorone nitril, IPN), NH3 and H2, wherein hydrogenation is carried out in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst at temperatures ranging from 50 to 200° C and at a pressure ranging from 50 to 300 bar. The invention is characterized in that the alkali metal content of the hydrogenation catalyst is ≤ 0.03 percent by weight, calculated as alkali metal oxide and relative to the total weight of the catalyst. The alkali metal content also comprises the content of Li, Na, K, Rb and Cs, more particularly the content of Na. The invention further relates to methods for the production of hydrogenation catalysts having an alkali metal content (more particularly a sodium content) of ≤ 0.03 percent by weight, calculated as alkali metal oxide/sodium oxide and relative to the total weight of the catalysts. The invention also relates to the hydrogenation catalysts as such.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a catalyst for the dehydrogenation or hydrogenation of hydrocarbons containing between 10 and 70 wt. % milled, secondary catalyst material of a used (de)hydrogenation catalyst that contains iron oxide and between 30 and 90 wt. % of the corresponding fresh catalyst material containing iron oxide, said iron oxide of the fresh catalyst material being predominantly in the form of hematite or potassium ferrite. The invention also relates to a method for producing the catalyst and to a method for dehydrogenating or hydrogenating hydrocarbons using the catalyst provided by the invention.
