摘要:
A process for the catalytic hydrogenation of butterfat where non-deacidified butterfat is continuously reacted with hydrogen under pressures of from 20 to 300 bar and at temperatures of from 180.degree. to 250.degree. C. with molar ratios of hydrogen to fatty acid residue in the butterfat of from 10:1 to 500:1. The reaction is carried out over catalysts which contain from 30 to 40% by weight copper, from 23 to 30% by weight chromium, from 1 to 10% by weight manganese, from 1 to 10% by weight silicon, and from 1 to 7% by weight barium. The percentages by weight in each case are based on the total oxidic mass of the catalyst. Other transition metals, especially zirconium and cerium, are additionally incorporated into the catalyst. The metals in the catalyst are converted to their oxides by calcination. The catalyst is converted into shaped particulate or granulated elements with from 1 to 10% by weight of at least one binder in addition to 1 to 10% by weight graphite. The catalyst is activated with hydrogen or a hydrogen-containing gas mixture.The reaction products include alcohols, oxo- and hydroxyfatty alcohols corresponding to the natural fatty acid composition of the butterfat and the desired, valuable product, propylene glycol. This process is advantageous since it eliminates the need for preseparation of the relatively short-chain fatty acids (or deacidification) of the butterfat prior to hydrogenation.

摘要:
A process for the stabilization of particulate, activated catalyst masses after the activation of the starting catalyst masses in a gas stream, wherein the particulate, activated catalyst masses are removed from the activation reactor in an inert gas atmosphere into a liquid alcohol or a mixture of two or more alcohols which are straight-chain or branched-chain alcohols containing from 6 to 12 carbon atoms in the alkyl radical, stabilizing the catalyst masses by impregnation with the alcohol or the alcohol mixture, optionally storing and/or transporting the alcohol-impregnated catalyst masses, removing excess alcohol, sieving the alcohol-moist catalyst mass, and introducing the catalyst mass into a catalysis reactor to form a catalyst filling.

A method for the removal of a spent catalyst from a fixed-bed reactor is disclosed, wherein a suction hose, in which a high pressure hose comprising a high-pressure nozzle is integrated, is introduced into the reactor, the catalyst is then size-reduced by water under high pressure passed through the nozzle, the catalyst/water mixture is removed under suction and is optionally collected in a separator.
摘要:
The invention relates to a process for the hydrogenation of native fats, oils and fat derivatives, such as fatty acids and fatty acid esters, to fatty alcohols in a fixed-bed reactor, more particularly in co-current, hydrogen being recirculated in a stoichiometric excess, more particularly in an excess of 10 to 100 fold, and the fat, oil or fat derivative passing through the reactor only once. To minimize the specific hydrogen demand without having to accept significant losses in regard to specific reactor load, product selectivity and catalyst life, the hydrogen is passed successively through at least two fixed-bed reactors 4,10 without the gas issuing from the reactors 4 and entering the following reactors 10 being cooled and the fat, oil or fat derivative is simultaneously introduced into the reactors 4,10.
摘要:
A process for the production of compacted granules for use in a detergent composition by providing a homogeneous, solid, free-flowing premix to which a plasticizer or lubricant is added, and extruding the mixture through a perforated die under a pressure of from about 25 bar to about 200 bar to form strands of the mixture. The perforated die has an opening width corresponding to a predetermined size of the granules. After emerging from the perforated die, the strands are cut to the predetermined size of the granules by means of a cutting unit. The process enables the preparation of detergent compositions containing increased contents of surfactant components.

When used in a washing machine, a particulate detergent packed in portions in a flexible bag of a flat, water-permeable textile material leads to an improved detergency performance and/or saving of detergent by comparison with the conventional addition of detergent via the dispensing compartment of the washing machine if the bag material satisfies certain criteria in regard to the nature of the fibers used for its production and, optionally, the permeability to air and the adsorption capacity of the bag material, the geometric dimensions of the bag and its filling level.

A foam regulator consisting essentially of a mixture, applied to a particulate support material, of (a) 5 to 60% of a paraffin wax, (b) 20 to 90% of a microcrystalline paraffin wax which shows defined melting behavior as a function of temperature and (c) 5% to 20% of a diamide derived from C.sub.2 -C.sub.7 diamines and C.sub.12 -C.sub.22 fatty acids which is present in the paraffin mixture in very finely divided form. The mixture is preferably prepared by reaction of the diamines with the fatty acids in a molten mixture of components (a) and (b) in the presence of an acidic catalyst.
