摘要:
The invention relates to a process for separating off maleic anhydride from a gas stream comprising maleic anhydride, in which a) the gas stream comprising maleic anhydride is brought into contact with a liquid absorbent phase comprising at least one high-boiling inert absorption medium for maleic anhydride and b) maleic anhydride is separated off from the resulting liquid absorbate phase by stripping with a hydrogen-comprising gas as stripping medium in a column, wherein the stripping medium is fed in at two points on the column which are at least one theoretical plate apart.
摘要:
What is described is a process for obtaining maleic anhydride by distillation from a solution of maleic anhydride in a high-boiling absorbent which has been obtained by gas phase oxidation of a hydrocarbon and at least partial absorption of the oxidation products into the absorbent, by i) introducing the solution into the side of a feed column with a rectifying section disposed above the feed point and a stripping section disposed below the feed point, ii) providing an upper combining column which communicates with the upper end of the rectifying section and a lower combining column which communicates with the lower end of the stripping section, iii) providing a draw column which communicates with the upper combining column and the lower combining column, iv) drawing maleic anhydride off as a side draw from the draw column, and drawing off compounds having a lower boiling point than maleic anhydride at the top of the upper combining column and the high-boiling absorbent at the bottom of the lower combining column. The maleic anhydride obtained as a side draw has a low content of acrylic acid and acetic acid.

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.

The invention relates to a catalyst provided in the form of an extrudate, which contains 5 to 85% by weight of copper oxide and comprises, in the active material and as binders, the same oxidic carrier material. The invention also relates to the use of the catalyst for hydrogenating carbonyl compounds.

A process for decreasing fumaric acid deposits in the preparation of maleic anhydride by heterogeneously catalyzed oxidation of a hydrocarbon with molecular oxygen, in which the maleic anhydride is absorbed from the crude product mixture in an absorbent in an absorption column and desorbed again in a desorption column, the entirety or a portion of the absorbent depleted in maleic anhydride, for controlled precipitation of fumaric acid, being cooled and/or concentrated by evaporating a portion of the absorbent to such an extent that the difference between the concentration of fumaric acid in the recycle stream at the outlet of the desorption column under the conditions existing there and the equilibrium concentration of fumaric acid according to the solubility curve after the cooling and/or evaporation of a portion of the absorbent is greater than or equal to 250 ppm by weight, and the fumaric acid precipitated as a solid is removed completely or partly from the absorbent recycling system and the fumaric acid-depleted absorbent is recycled completely or partly to the absorption column.
