    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for separating a mixture containing butane1,4-diol and at least one other compound from the following group: 4hydroxybutyraldehyde, its cyclical hemiacetal and its cyclical whole acetals with at least one other alcohol, by distillation. The distillation is carried out in the presence of a compound which acts as an alkali. The mixture to be separated preferably contains a cyclical whole acetal of 4hydroxybutyraldehyde with the other alcohol, this alcohol having a lower boiling temperature than butanediol and being in free form. The method is especially suitable for distilling and separating mixtures produced in the hydrogenation of maleic acid derivatives.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing 1,6-hexanediol by hydrogenating adipic acid esters and/or 6-hydroxycarboxylic acid esters in the gaseous phase at an elevated temperature and pressure in the present of chromium-free catalysts. Hydrogenation is carried out a) using catalysts containing copper, manganese and aluminium as essential constituents or in the presence of Raney copper; b) at temperatures of between 150 and 230 ~C and pressures of between 10 and 70 bar; c) at a molar ratio of hyrogen to hydrogenating ester of between 150 to 1 and 300 to 1; and d) at a catalyst load of between 0.01 and 0.3 kg C3-ester per litre of catalyst and hour.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the preparation of 1,6 hexane diol from a carboxylic acid mixture containing adipic acid, 6-hydroxy caproic acid and, in small quantities, 1,4 cyclohexane diols. Said mixture is obtained as a byproduct of the oxidation of cyclohexane into cyclohexanone/ cyclohexanol by water extraction of the reaction mixture. Said process involves esterification of the acids and hydrogenation. According to this process (a) the monocarboxylic acids and the dicarboxylic acids contained in the aqueous dicarboxylic acid mixture are reacted with a low-molecular alcohol to form the corresponding carboxylic acid esters; (b) the excess alcohol and low-boiling agents of the resultant esterification mixture are released in a first distillation stage; (c) separating into an ester fraction substantially free of 1,4 cyclohexane diols and a fraction containing at least the greater part of the 1,4 cyclohexane diols is carried out from the bottom product in a second distillation stage; (d) the ester fraction substantially free of 1,4 cyclohexane diols is catalytically hydrogenated; and (e) in a pure distillation stage 1,6 hexane diol is extracted from the hydrogenated discharge in a known manner.
