Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for reacting aliphatic hydrocarbons with 1 to 4 C atoms to aromatic hydrocarbons, said method comprising the followings steps: a) reacting a reactant flow E, which contains at least one aliphatic hydrocarbon with 1 to 4 C atoms, in the presence of a catalyst under non-oxidative conditions, to a product flow P which contains aromatic hydrocarbons and hydrogen, and b) electrochemically removing at least part of the hydrogen produced during the reaction from the product flow P by means of a gas-tight membrane electrode assembly which comprises at least one selectively proton-conducting membrane and at least one electrode catalyst on each side of the membrane, at least part of the hydrogen being oxidized on the anode catalyst to protons on the retentate side of the membrane and the protons, after passing the membrane, being reacted with oxygen to water on the permeate side on the cathode catalyst, the oxygen coming from an oxygen-containing flow O which is being contacted with the permeate side of the membrane.

Abstract:
Olefins are oligomerised by bringing at least one C 2 to C 8 olefin into contact with a nickel-containing heterogeneous catalyst. The catalyst is conditioned before contact with the olefin by passing an inert gas flow over the same, until the inert gas flow has a water content of less than1000 ppm. Selectivity for the production of higher oligomers, in particular trimers relative to the formation of dimers is increased by the pretreatment.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a catalyst for the dehydroaromatisation of C 1 -C 4 -aliphates, that can be obtained by the double treatment of a zeolith from the groups MFI and MWW with mixtures containing NH 4 , respectively with subsequent drying and calcining. The catalyst contains molybdenum and optionally, Cu, Ni, Fe, Co, Mn, Cr, Nb, Ta, Zr, V, Zn and/or Ga as additional elements. The invention also relates to a method for the dehydroaromatisation of a mixture containing C 1 -C 4 -aliphates by reacting in the presence of a catalyst.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for pre-treating hydroamination catalysts, characterized in that the hydroamination catalyst is brought into contact with a mixture containing ammonia prior to the reaction of olefins with ammonia, a primary or a secondary amine, wherein the mixture containing ammonia contains less than 40 wt.-% olefin. The invention further relates to a method for producing alkyl amines by reacting olefins with ammonia, primary or secondary amines at a hydroamination catalyst that is pre-treated according to the invention prior to the reaction of the olefins by bringing the hydroamination catalyst into contact with a mixture containing ammonia, wherein the mixture containing ammonia contains less than 40 wt.-% olefin.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for oligomerizing alkenes, in which an alkene-containing feedstock is prepared and is subjected to an oligomerization process in two successive reaction zones.
Abstract:
A method for producing o-xylene comprises the steps of a) the dimerizing of 2-butenes into 3,4- and/or 2,3-dimethylhexenes and b) the dehydrogenating aromatizing of 3,4- and/or 2,3 dimethylhexenes to xylenes, and is suitable for the selective production of o-xylene.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for preparing olefin codimers by converting a first and second olefin starting material over a heterogeneous olefin oligomerization catalyst, to the olefin codimers obtainable by this process, to a process for preparing alcohols, in which such olefin codimers are subjected to a hydroformylation and subsequent hydrogenation, to the alcohol mixtures thus obtainable and to their use.
