Abstract:
The invention concerns a process for simultaneously preparing 6-aminocapronitrile and hexamethylene diamine proceeding from adipodinitrile. The process is characterized in that: (1) adipodinitrile is partially hydrogenated in the presence of a catalyst in order to obtain a mixture containing 6-aminocapronitrile, hexamethylene diamine and adipodinitrile; (2) 6-aminocapronitrile and hexamethylene diamine are separated from the mixture; (3) between 0.01 and 10 wt %, relative to adipodinitrile, of an acid or an acidic ion exchanger is added to the part substantially containing adipodinitrile, and the adipodinitrile is separated from the mixture; and (4) the adipodinitrile is returned to step (1).

Abstract:
The invention concerns the preparation of caprolactam by cyclizing 6-aminocapronitrile in the presence of water at high temperature and optionally of a catalyst and a solvent by: a) separating from the reaction yield ("reaction yield I") of the cyclizing process caprolactam and all the components boiling higher than caprolactam ("high boilers"); b) treating the high boilers from step a) with phosphoric acid and/or polyphosphoric acid at a temperature ranging from 200 to 350 DEG C, obtaining reaction yield II; and c) separating the caprolactam resulting from reaction yield II of step b) and optionally 6-aminocapronitrile from unreacted "high boilers" and the acid used.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a method of simultaneously producing 6-aminocapronitrile (ACN) and hexamethylenediamine (HMD) by reacting adipodinitrile (ADN) with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst containing nickel, at a temperature not below room temperature and at an elevated hydrogen partial pressure, optionally in the presence of a solvent. If the yield, based on the amount of ADN consumed, and/or the selectivity, based on the amount of ACN produced, drop(s) below a defined value, a) the reaction of ADN with hydrogen is interrupted by stopping the feed of ADN and, if present, also the solvent; b) the catalyst is treated with hydrogen at a temperature in the range 150 to 400 DEG C, using a hydrogen pressure of 0.1 to 30 MPa and a treatment time of 2 to 48 h; and c) the hydrogenation is subsequently continued using the catalyst treated in stage (b).
