    Abstract: In a process for the production of aniline, or an amine of an alkyl benzene, by the hydrogenation of nitrobenzene, or an alkylated nitrobenzene e.g. nitrotoluene or nitroxylene, using a metal hydrogenation catalyst in a fluidised layer, preferably provided with cooling means, the nitrobenzene is introduced into the layer at least partly in liquid phase at a plurality of points at least some of which are at different heights. The hydrogen and nitrobenzene are introduced into the reaction zone in a molar ratio of at least 3 : 1. The reaction is preferably carried out at a pressure of 4-25 atmospheres at temperatures between 200 and 400 DEG C. The hydrogen may be introduced with the nitrobenzene e.g. by using a two-component nozzle, or at the bottom of the reaction vessel. The points of introduction of the nitrobenzene are preferably distributed over the lower three-quarters of the fluidised catalyst layer. When a reactor of large crosssectional area is used, several inlets may be provided at the same level. In examples, the hydrogenation is carried out at 275 DEG C. and at 300 DEG C. at 10 atm. using a Cu on alumina catalyst and at 280-290 DEG C. at 5 atm. using Cu with traces of Cr, Ba, and Zn on silicic acid as catalyst. An Ni/Mo catalyst may also be used.

    Abstract: In Examples 5 and 8, nitrobenzene is hydrogenated to aniline in presence of hollow silica beads impregnated with copper, at temperatures of 280 DEG -290 DEG C.ALSO:Catalysts or catalyst carriers in the form of hollow beads are prepared by spraying a hydrogel containing at least 30% by weight of water and/or a suspension and/or a solution of metal compounds at a pressure of 10 to 100 atmospheres into a tower-shaped vessel, and cocurrently introducing a gas at 300 DEG to 700 DEG C. in amounts of 4 to 18 cubic meters per kgm. of initial material. Hydrogels of silicic acid, alumina, silicates and titania are mentioned, Al, Mg, Zr or Zn salts may be added in preparing a silicic acid hydrogel. The metal compounds may be compounds of Cu, Ag, Zn, Mg, Al, Sn, Pb, V, Cr, Mo, W, Mn, Fe, Ni, Co, Pt or Pd. The hollow beads may be treated with halogen or a phosphoric acid. Examples relate to (1), (5) silica gel; (2), (3) alumina gel; (4) aluminium phosphate; (6) alumina + Co + Mo; (7) Mo + P + V; (8) silica gel + Cu.ALSO:Catalysts or catalyst carriers in the form of hollow beads are prepared by spraying a hydrogel containing at least 30% by weight of water and/or a suspension and/or a solution of metal compounds at a pressure of 10 to 100 atmospheres into a tower-shaped vessel, and cocurrently introducing a gas at 300 DEG to 700 DEG C. in amounts of 4 to 18 cubic meters per kgm of initial material.

A reactor for hydrogenation of nitrobenzene has diameter to height ratio 1:4 and has twenty two-component nozzles arranged at three levels above the grate at the bottom of the reactor. The upper portion of the vessel is widened to 1 1/2 times and includes a cyclone; reaction gases leaving by the cyclone are recycled via a heat exchanger, condenser, gas-liquid separator, preheater and pump. Cooling tubes are arranged in the catalyst layer at a distance from the wall of the reactor.
