摘要:
The invention relates to a process for distillative workup of a methanol/water mixture, in which a methanol/water mixture is added to a distillation column (1), an essentially methanol-comprising vapor stream is withdrawn at the top of the distillation column (1) and an essentially water-comprising bottom stream at the bottom of the distillation column (1), at least a portion of the essentially methanol-comprising vapor stream is compressed and the compressed vapor stream is added as heating vapor to an evaporator (11) in which at least a portion of the methanol/water mixture to be separated is evaporated. The invention further relates to a process for preparing alkali metal methoxides in a reaction column (31) by adding methanol and alkali metal hydroxide solution to the reaction column (31), withdrawing alkali metal methoxide dissolved in methanol at the lower end of the reaction column (31) and withdrawing a methanol/water mixture at the upper end of the reaction column (31), and working up the methanol/water mixture by the process for distillative workup.
摘要:
Trimethylolpropane is isolated from a reaction mixture which has been obtained by reaction of n-butyraldehyde with formaldehyde in the presence of a base and, if appropriate, hydrogenation of the resulting mixture by distilling the mixture by means of a dividing wall column or a distillation column with a precolumn or a distillation column with an after-column. The process has low capital costs and a low energy consumption and gives reduced formation of high-boiling by-products.

The present invention relates to a process for hydrogenating oligo- and/or polyesters obtainable by esterifying a DCS with a diol or diol mixture, said hydrogenation being performed in the presence of a catalyst whose catalyst precursor comprises copper oxide, aluminum oxide and at least one oxide of lanthanum, of iron, of tungsten, of molybdenum, of titanium or of zirconium, and to a process for preparing 1,6-hexanediol by catalytically hydrogenating ester mixtures which comprise, as main components, oligo- and polyesters of adipic acid and 6-hydroxycaproic acid, and are obtained by esterifying DCS with diols, especially 1,6-hexanediol or diol mixtures.

The present invention relates to a process for purifying crude polymethylol which comprises polymethylol of the formula (I) (HOCH2)2—C—R2 (I) in which each R is independently a further methylol group or an alkyl group having 1 to 22 carbon atoms or an aryl or aralkyl group having 6 to 22 carbon atoms, and also hydroxy acid of the formula (IV) in which each R is independently as defined above, which comprises performing the purification in a distillation column, the bottom of the distillation column being connected to an evaporator with a short residence time. The present invention further relates to a composition comprising polymethylol and 1 to 10 000 ppm by weight of an ester of polymethylol and of a hydroxy acid and to the use thereof.

摘要:
The present invention provides a process for preparing 1,6-hexanediol by hydrogenating dialkyl adipates, alkyl 6-hydroxycaproates, 1,4-cyclohexanedione and 4-hydroxycyclohexan-1-one as ester mixtures comprising impurities, by a) freeing resulting the esterification mixture of excess alcohol and low boilers in a first distillation stage (alcohol removal), b) carrying out a separation of the bottom product in a second distillation stage into an ester fraction substantially free of 1,4-cyclohexanediols and a fraction comprising at least the majority of the 1,4-cyclohexanediols, c) catalytically hydrogenating the ester fraction substantially free of 1,4-cyclohexanediols (ester hydrogenation) and d) in a purifying distillation stage, obtaining 1,6-hexanediol from the hydrogenation effluent in a manner known per se, which comprises selectively hydrogenating the ester mixture before stage a) and/or before stage b) (purifying hydrogenation).
摘要:
The invention relates to a method for increasing yield in the production of polyvalent alcohols, especially trimethylolpropane, obtained by condensing formaldehyde with a higher aldehyde. According to the inventive method, acid treatment is carried out on a mixture (high-boiling fraction) that is obtained by reprocessing, contains derivatives of said alcohols and has a higher boiling point than the respective alcohol, and the polyvalent alcohol is recovered from the acid-treated high-boiling fraction. The inventive method is characterised in that the water content of the high-boiling fraction amounts to between 20 and 90 wt. % in relation to the entire mixture of the high-boiling fraction and water.
