摘要:
Aliphatic hydroxycarbonyl compounds etherified with aliphatic groups are prepared by oxidizing hydroxyalcohols in the presence of a metal catalyst which consists of one or more layers, each of a particular weight and each containing particles of a particular size, the catalyst bed also having a particular total thickness, and the catalyst components used being silver and copper, with or without added copper/tin/phosphorus or silver alone. The etherified hydroxyaldehydes and hydroxyketones obtainable by the process of the invention are valuable starting materials for the preparation of dyes, pesticides, plastics and scents.

An improved process for producing adipic acid from the acidic wash waters which arise in the process for oxidizing cyclohexane with air, by treatment with nitric acid at from 10.degree. to 50.degree. C., with removal of the heat of reaction by external cooling, wherein the reaction mixture is led, at a flow velocity of at least 2.0 m/sec, as a thin layer spirally in counter-current to the coolant, under conditions which do not perturb the flow of the reaction mixture.

Formaldehyde is prepared by (a) passing a mixture of methanol and water with a concentration of between 50 and 90% by weight, based on the total weight of the two substances, of methanol into a packed column which possesses a packing having a total layer thickness of not less than 50 cm and a total surface area of not less than 0.5 cm.sup.2 per cm.sup.3 of packing, a liquid circulation of from 15 to 90 g/min per g/min of methanol fed to the column, and a concentration of from 10 to 45% by weight of methanol in the recycle liquid, the temperature at the point of entry of the recycle liquid in the column being from 50.degree. to 86.degree. C. and the bottom temperature being 10.degree.-25.degree. C. lower than this, i.e. from 40.degree. to 70.degree. C., (b) separating off methanol and water from the column by stripping with air, an inert gas and/or exit gas, the throughput being from 0.5 to 3 tonnes of methanol and water per hour per m.sup.2 of column cross-section, (c) converting the gaseous mixture of methanol, water, air, inert gas and/or exit gas at a space velocity of from 0.5 to 3 tonnes of methanol per m.sup.2 of catalyst bed cross-section per hour, in the presence of a silver catalyst at from 550.degree. to 750.degree. C. and (d) finally, cooling and absorbing the hot reaction gases, and using the resulting heat of absorption and, if desired, the heat of reaction and/or the heat of condensation partially or completely for heating the recycle liquid, methanol containing impurities being used if desired and, after the stages (a) and (b) and before the stages (c) and (d), the measures of a stage (e) being carried out, wherein the gaseous mixture formed is passed through two layers of wire filter having a wire diameter of from 0.1 to 0.5 mm and a free layer volume of from 90 to 99.5 vol. %, based on the total volume of one wire layer, at a flow rate of from 7 to 13 m/sec in the first layer, and from 1 to 4 m/sec in the second layer.The formaldehyde obtainable by the process of the invention is a disinfectant, tanning agent, reducing agent and a useful starting material for the preparation of synthetic resins, adhesives and plastics.
