The invention relates to a process for increasing the selectivity of the hydrogenation of 4,4′-diaminodiphenylmethane (4,4′-MDA) to diaminodicyclohexylmethane (4,4′-HMDA) by catalytic hydrogenation of a mixture containing 4,4′-MDA as the main component and its mono-N-methyl derivative as a secondary component. According to the invention, the hydrogenation is terminated before a conversion of 4,4′-MDA to 4,4′-HMDA of 99% is achieved. Under these conditions, a substantially smaller proportion of the N-methyl-4,4′-MDA is hydrogenated to N-methyl-4,4-HMDA.

The invention relates to a method for hydrogenation of aromatic urethanes, which contain one or more aromatic rings and one or more urethane groups bonded directly and/or indirectly to one aromatic ring or to different aromatic rings, using hydrogen in the presence of a supported catalyst, which contains ruthenium as active metal. The catalyst support of the catalyst to be used according to the invention has a BET surface ranging from larger than 30 m2/g to smaller than 70 m2/g and more than 50% of the pore volume of the catalyst support is represented by macropores with a pore diameter of larger than 50 nm and less than 50% is represented by mesopores with a pore diameter of 2 to 50 nm. The method is suitable in particular for hydrogenation of dibutyl 4,4′-methylenedicarbanilate to dibutyl 4,4′-methylenedicyclohexylcarbamate with a trans-trans isomer content of

The invention relates to processes for preparing aldehydes by hydroformylation of alkenes, in which an alkene-containing feed mixture is subjected to a primary hydroformylation with synthesis gas in the presence of a homogeneous catalyst system, the primary hydroformylation being effected in a primary reaction zone from which a cycle gas containing at least some of the products and unconverted reactants of the primary hydroformylation are drawn off continuously and partly condensed, with recycling of uncondensed components of the cycle gas into the primary reaction zone, and with distillative separation of condensed components of the cycle gas in an aldehyde removal stage to give an aldehyde-rich mixture and a low-aldehyde mixture. The problem that it addresses is that of developing the process such that it achieves high conversions and affords aldehyde in good product quality even in the case of a deteriorating raw material position. More particularly, a solution is to be found for making legacy oxo process plants capable of utilizing lower-value raw material sources. This problem is solved by separating the low-aldehyde mixture into a retentate and a permeate by means of a membrane separation unit in such a way that alkenes present in the low-aldehyde mixture become enriched in the permeate, while alkanes present in the low-aldehyde mixture become enriched in the retentate. The alkene-rich permeate is then transferred into a secondary reaction zone and subjected to a secondary hydroformylation therein with synthesis gas in the presence of an SILP catalyst system. The reaction product obtained from the secondary hydroformylation is recycled into the aldehyde removal stage.

The invention provides for the use of a particular burner design to heat reactors for conversion of chlorosilanes, wherein the burner has a jet tube and the jet tube surrounds the flame and the flame tube in a gastight manner, as a result of which the combustion air, the gaseous and/or liquid fuels, and also the flue gases cannot get into the reaction furnace space. The advantage is the complete separation of the flue gas from the actual interior of the reaction furnace, which prevents critical interactions between flue gas moisture and chlorosilanes in the case of fracture of the arrangement accommodating the chlorosilanes. This in turn makes it possible to use gaseous or liquid fuels to heat such a reaction furnace. Excessive local input of heat as a result of direct flame contact is prevented; the heat input is homogenized.

Additionally, removing at least one of the residuals, other than glycerin or water, from either of the glycerin phase or a mixture phase obtained by mixing the glycerol phase with the low-acrolein residue phase and feeding the resulting purified glycerin or mixture phase into the acrolein reaction region. The invention furthermore relates to a method for producing acrylic acid, water-absorbing polymer formations, compounds and hygiene articles, and to devices for carrying out those methods.
