Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for the production of hydroformylation products from olefins having at least four carbon atoms. A high amount of the linear Ci-olefins with terminal double bonds that are present in the inlet comprising olefins, and also of the linear Ci-olefins having internal double bonds are converted to hydroformylation products. The invention further relates to a method for the production of 2-propylheptanol, comprising said hydroformylation method.
Abstract:
The invention relates to the production of alkylamines by reacting in a first process step an olefin with ammonia, a primary amine and/or a secondary amine under hydroamination conditions and then reacting the hydroamination product(s) so obtained in a second process step under transalkylation conditions.
Abstract:

Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing primary amines, characterized in that at least one nitrile is hydrogenated in a device (V1) in the presence of a cobalt-based full contact catalyst while obtaining at least one primary amine, at least one compound (I) being added repeatedly or continuously to the device (V1) and said compound (I) comprising at least one component selected from the group including alkali metal, alkaline-earth metal or rare earth metal.
Abstract:
The present invention specifies a method for treating catalytic converter preforms, particularly to increase the mechanical strength thereof, said method comprising the following steps: a) provision of prepared catalytic converter preforms; b) immersion of the catalytic converter preforms together with a peptising agent in a volume of liquid not exceeding the theoretical water absorption of the catalytic converter preform; c) thermal treatment of the immersed catalytic converter preforms at 50°C to 250°C; and d) calcination of the thermally treated catalytic converter preforms at 250°C to 600°C. Furthermore, a catalytic converter preform with enhanced mechanical strength is created which can be produced using the method according to the invention. The present invention further relates to the use of catalytic converter preforms according to the invention for the production of amines and in solid bed reactors or fluidized-bed reactors, and to a chemical synthesis method in the presence of catalytic converter preforms according to the present invention.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for hydrogenating nitriles with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst in a reactor, said catalyst being arranged in a fixed bed. The invention is characterized in that the cross-sectional load in the reactor ranges from 5 kg/(m 2 s) to 50 kg/(m 2 s). The invention further relates to a method for producing secondary products of isophorondiamine (IPDA) or N,N-dimethylaminopropylamine (DMAPA) from amines produced according to the invention.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing acetylene according to the Sachsse-Bartholome method by burning a natural gas/oxygen mixture in one or more burners, yielding a cracked gas, which is cooled in burner columns in two or more stages, wherein one or more burner columns are assigned to each burner, and wherein the cracked gas is quenched with pyrolysis oil in the first cooling stage, yielding a low-boiling fraction containing benzene, toluene and xylene from the one or more burner columns, wherein said fraction is cooled with direct cooling water and separated in a phase separator into an aqueous phase and an organic phase which contains benzene, toluene and xylene and is fully or partially fed back to the head of the one or more burner columns. The method is characterised in that the organic phase containing benzene, toluene and xylene from the phase separator, before full or partial recirculation to the head of the one or more burner columns, is fed to a selective hydrogenation process on a catalyst, which comprises at least one platinum group metal on an inorganic metal oxide carrier, containing 0.05 to 5 wt % of platinum group metal, relative to the total weight of the catalyst, and wherein the selective hydrogenation is carried out at a pressure in the range of 10 to 70 bar overpressure and a temperature in the range of 0 to 100°C.
