Abstract:
Method of producing benzophenoneimine (BPI) of the general formula (I) in which R1 and R2 are C1- to C4-alkoxy, C1- to C2-alkylamine and C2- to C4-dialkylamine and m and n are integers from 0 to 5, and R1 and R2, independently of one another, may be identical or different, in which benzophenone (BP) of the general formula (II) in which R1, R2, m and n have the meanings given above, is reacted in ammonia and in the presence of titanium dioxide, where the titanium dioxide is essentially present in the anatase modification.
Abstract:
A process for the preparation of an amine by reacting an aldehyde and/or ketone with hydrogen and a nitrogen compound selected from the group of primary and secondary amines in the presence of a heterogeneous catalyst, characterized in that the reaction takes place using a suspension catalyst as a heterogeneous catalyst and is carried out in a semibatch operating mode in which the nitrogen compound is provided as a reactant in the reaction vessel and the aldehyde and/or the ketone is added as the other reactant in the course of the reaction, and in the course of the reaction depending on the attained rate of conversion of the nitrogen compound, the aldehyde and/or the ketone is added in portions or continuously to the reaction mixture until a rate of conversion of the nitrogen compound of at least 95 % results, and the catalyst remains in whole or in part in the reaction vessel after the reaction batch for another use in the next reaction batch.
Abstract:
A process for preparing an amine by reacting an aldehyde and/or ketone with hydrogen and a nitrogen compound selected from the group of primary and secondary amines in the presence of a heterogeneous catalyst, the catalyst being a coated catalyst which comprises at least one metal of Group VIII of the Periodic Table of the Elements as a hydrogenation metal and additionally a promoter on an oxidic support, at least 80% of the metal of Group VIII of the Periodic Table of the Elements being present in a layer between the surface of the catalyst and a penetration depth which corresponds to a maximum of 80% of the radius of the catalyst, calculated from the surface of the catalyst.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method of production of a shaped body comprising a microporous material and at least one silicon-containing binding agent, comprising the steps: (I) production of a mixture, containing the microporous material, the binding agent and a lubricant, (II) mixing and compacting the mixture, (III) moulding the compacted mixture to give a shaped body and (IV) calcination of the shaped body, wherein a silicone resin is used as binding agent with a softening point ≥ 30° C, shaped bodies produced by said method, use thereof as catalyst, in particular in organic synthesis and more particularly in method for production of methylamines.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for the continuous hydrogenation of unsaturated compounds, according to which particles of a first hydrogenating catalyst are suspended in a liquid phase in which an unsaturated compound is dissolved. According to the invention, the liquid phase is guided through a packed bubble column, in the presence of a hydrogenous gas which is subjected to a first partial hydrogen pressure and is at a first temperature in the parallel flow in the opposite direction to the gravitational force, the substance discharged from the bubble column reactor is subjected to a gas-liquid separation, and the liquid phase is then subjected to a transversal filtration, whereby a retentate and a filtrate are obtained. The retentate is introduced back into the bubble reactor, and the filtrate is guided over a bed of a second hydrogenating catalyst in the presence of a hydrogenous gas subjected to a second hydrogen partial pressure and at a second temperature, the second hydrogen partial pressure being at least 10 bar higher than the first hydrogen partial pressure.
