摘要:
A process for the epoxidation of olefins which includes i) reacting an olefin with hydrogen peroxide in presence of an epoxidation catalyst and an alcoholic solvent; ii) separating product olefin oxide and unreacted olefin from the reaction product of step i); iii) recovering a stream comprising the alcoholic solvent; and iv) subjecting the recovered stream of step iii) to hydrogenation.
摘要:
A process for the continuous epoxidation of propene with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of a titanium silicalite catalyst and a methanol solvent, wherein the catalyst is periodically regenerated by washing with a methanol solvent at a temperature of at least 100° C. and the epoxidation reaction is carried out for periods of more than 300 h between two regeneration steps.
摘要:
A process for the catalytic epoxidation of olefins in the presence of a titanium containing zeolite catalyst and a polar solvent whereby the deactivation of the catalyst upon recycling of the solvent has been considerably reduced. In the process one or more nitrogen containing compounds are introduced at some stage, a solvent stream is recovered, treated to contain less than 50 wppm nitrogen in the form of organic nitrogen compounds and at least a part of it is recycled to the epoxidation step. Also disclosed is a process for the catalytic epoxidation of propene which integrates the treatment and recycle of the solvent into the workup of the reaction mixture.
摘要:
A continuous process for the epoxidation of olefins with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of a heterogeneous catalyst promoting the epoxidation reaction, whereby the aqueous reaction mixture contains i) an olefin; ii) hydrogen peroxide; iii) less than 100 wppm of alkali metals, earth alkali metals, both irrespective whether in ionic, complex or covalently bonded form, bases or cations of bases having a pkB of less than 4.5, or combinations thereof; and, iv) at least 100 wppm of bases or cations of bases having a pkB of at least 4.5 or combinations thereof, whereby the wppm are based on the total weight of hydrogen peroxide in the reaction mixture.
摘要:
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.

摘要:
A process for the purification of a crude propene oxide containing methanol and acetaldehyde by a continuously operated extractive distillation using an extraction solvent lowering the volatility of methanol and feeding a compound containing an unsubstituted NH2 group capable of reacting with acetaldehyde to a distillation column at a point above the feeding point of the crude propene oxide to give a purified propene oxide containing less than 100 ppm methanol and less than 100 ppm acetaldehyde. There is also disclosed a process for the catalytic epoxidation of propene that includes this purification stage.
摘要:
A process for the working up of a product stream from the epoxidation of olefins that contains olefin, olefin oxide, water-miscible organic solvent and water, by separating this product stream into an overhead product containing olefin, olefin oxide and organic solvent, and into a bottom product containing organic solvent and water, wherein the separation takes place in a pre-evaporator with less than 10 theoretical separation stages at a pressure of 1.5 to less than 3 bar, and 20 to 60% of the total amount of organic solvent introduced with the product stream is removed with the overhead product and the balance remains in the bottom product. A process for the epoxidation of olefins that includes this working up stage is also disclosed.
摘要:
A process for the catalytic epoxidation of olefins in at least one reaction stage comprising: (a) reacting the olefin with hydrogen peroxide in an organic, water-miscible solvent in the presence of a titanium silicalite catalyst in a reactor while continuously feeding an inert gas stream into the reactor, (b) continuously removing an exit gas stream containing olefin oxide, unreacted olefin, oxygen and inert gas from the reactor, (c) bringing the exit gas stream into contact in an absorption unit with the same solvent as used in the reaction stage, (d) removing a solvent stream loaded with olefin and olefin oxide from the absorption unit and (e) discharging an gas stream containing oxygen and the inert gas from the absorption unit.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method for the production of epichlorohydrin, wherein a chloropropane-containing ally chloride in excess is reacted in a first reaction stage with hydrogen peroxide. The non-reacted ally chloride is separated and returned to the reaction, wherein part of the separated ally chloride is added to a second reaction stage and reacted with hydrogen peroxide, wherein the hydrogen peroxide quantity is selected in the second reaction stage such that the ally chloride is largely reacted. The chloropropanes are separated from the reaction mixture of the second reaction stage by means of distillation and removed from the process.
