Crude water-containing tetrahydrofuran is purified by passing the crude tetrahydrofuran through three distillation columns, withdrawing water from the bottom of the first column, recycling water-containing tetrahydrofuran from the top of the second column into the first column, passing a sidestream of the first column into the second column, recycling the bottom product of the third column into the first column, and withdrawing a distillate at the top of the first column. Additionally, a sidestream of the second column is passed into the third column and the purified tetrahydrofuran is recovered as the top product of the third column.

Optionally alkyl-substituted 1,4-butanediol is prepared from C4-dicarboxylic acids and/or of derivatives thereof by: a) a gas stream of the C4-dicarboxylic acid or the derivative thereof in a first reactor in the gas phase to obtain a product which contains mainly optionally alkyl-substituted γ-butyro-lactone; b) removing succinic anhydride from the product of step a); c) catalytically hydrogenating the product of step b) in a second reactor in the gas phase to obtain optionally alkyl-substituted 1,4-butanediol; d) removing the desired product from intermediates, by-products and any unconverted reactants; and e) optionally recycling unconverted intermediates into one or both hydrogenation stages. The catalysts employed in each of the hydrogenation stages comprise ≦95% by weight of CuO, and ≦5% by weight of an oxidic support, and the second reactor has a higher pressure than the first reactor.

摘要:
The present invention relates to a process for preparing hydroxyl-containing polymers, in particular for preparing polytetrahydrofuran with terminal hydroxyl groups, from the corresponding acyloxy-containing polymers by transesterification with alcohols in the presence of an alkali metal- or alkaline earth metal-containing catalyst, which entails the appropriate acyloxy-containing polymer being introduced together with the alcohol and the catalyst into a first prereactor (I) and converted therein at least partly to the hydroxyl-containing polymer, and the reaction solution being fed into the upper zone (IIa) of a distillation column (II) into whose lower zone (IIb) alcohol in vapor phase is additionally fed. This involves a phase exchange at the coherent and the disperse phase at the transition from the prereactor to the distillation column. Preferably, in addition to the first prereactor, a further 3 prereactors are used which serve as holdup reactors.

A process for preparing oligomers by continuous oligomerization of butenes is described, wherein a) a feed stream 1) comprising 1-butene and 2-butene in a total concentration of from 10 to 70% by weight and from 10 to 60% by weight of isobutane is reacted until more than 60% by weight of the 1-butene comprised in the feed stream 1 but less than 50% by weight of the 2-butene comprised in feed stream 1 have been converted into oligomers. b) The oligomers obtained in a) are separated off and optionally passed to a further work-up and the remaining residual stream is fed to work-up by distillation. c) Isobutane is separated off by distillation from the residual stream, and d) the isobutane-depleted stream obtained after the work-up by distillation c) is reacted to form oligomers.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method of controlling a hydrogenation of a starting material in a hydrogenation reactor, in which the amount of hydrogen reacted in the hydrogenation is firstly determined, the ratio of the amount of hydrogen reacted to the amount of starting material fed in is then derived, this ratio is compared with a prescribed value and, finally, at least one process parameter is altered if the ratio of the amount of hydrogen reacted to the amount of starting material fed in deviates by a prescribed amount from the prescribed value.
