Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for producing nylon-6,6 by a) providing a muconic acid starting material selected from muconic acid, esters of muconic acid, lactones of muconic acid and mixtures thereof, b) subjecting the muconic acid starting material provided in step a) at least to some extent to a reaction with hydrogen in the presence of at least one hydrogenation catalyst Hb) to give adipic acid, c1) subjecting the muconic acid starting material provided in step a) to some extent to a reaction with hydrogen in the presence of at least one hydrogenation catalyst Hc1) to give 1,6-hexanediol, or c2) subjecting the adipic acid obtained in step b) to some extent to a reaction with hydrogen in the presence of at least one hydrogenation catalyst Hc2) to give 1,6-hexanediol, d) subjecting the 1,6-hexanediol obtained in step c1) or c2) to amination in the presence of an amination catalyst to obtain hexamethylenediamine, e) subjecting the hexamethylenediamine obtained in step d) and at least a portion of the adipic acid obtained in step b) to polycondensation to obtain nylon-6,6.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing hexamethylenediamine, wherein a) a muconic acid starting material is provided, which is selected from among muconic acid, esters of muconic acid, lactones of muconic acid, and mixtures thereof, b) the muconic acid starting material is subjected to a reaction with hydrogen in the presence of at least one hydrogenation catalyst in order to form 1,6-hexanediol, and c) the 1,6-hexanediol obtained in step b) is subjected to amination in the presence of an amination catalyst in order to obtain hexamethylenediamine. The invention further relates to hexamethylenediamine which can be produced by means of said method.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for preparing hexane-1,6-diol, in which a) a muconic acid starting material is provided, selected from muconic acid, esters of muconic acid, lactones of muconic acid and mixtures thereof, b) the muconic acid starting material is subjected to a reaction with hydrogen in the presence of at least one hydrogenation catalyst to hexane-1,6-diol, and c) the output from the hydrogenation in step b) is subjected to a distillative separation to obtain hexane-1,6-diol.
