    Abstract: The invention relates to a hydrogenation catalyst by the reduction from platinum in the stage of oxidation of +4 (Pt (IV)) with a selective reducing agent in an acidic aqueous medium in the presence of a carbon-containing carrier to platinum in the stage of oxidation +2 (Pt (II)), subsequent poisoning of the platinum thus obtained with a sulphur-containing selective reducing agent, and subsequent reduction of the platinum thus partially poisoned to form metallic platinum (Pt(0)) and subsequent processing as known per se in that (a) Pt (II) is partially poisoned with a sulphur-containing selective reducing agent, wherein the sulphur-containing selective reduction agent is used in an amount which corresponds to from 15 to 70 mol % of the amount of the sulphur-containing selective reducing agent which might be needed to reduce Pt(IV) to Pt (II), provided that the amount of Pt (IV) corresponds to the amount of Pt (II) used and to be poisoned, and subsequently the partially poisoned Pt (II) is reduced with an alkali metal formate to Pt (0); or (b) platinum in the stage of oxidation of greater than +2 is partially poisoned and subsequently or simultaneously reduced with an alkali metal formate to Pt (0). The invention also relates to a hydrogenation catalyst, use of the hydrogenation catalyst for preparing hydroxylammonium salts, a process for the preparation of hydroxylammonium salts, and a process for regenerating platinum-containing hydrogenation catalysts.

    Abstract: The production of 5-formyl valeric acid ester with a yield of not less than 90 % by the distillation of a mixture of 5-formyl valeric acid ester and either 3 or 4-formyl valeric acid ester or a mixture of 3 and 4-formyl valeric acid esters, in which the ester radicals of the formyl valeric acid esters are identical, by separating the 3 or 4-formyl valeric acid esters of their mixtures from the 5-formyl valeric acid ester at a pressure between 2 and 100 mbar and a temperature not exceeding 150 DEG C (measured as the column well temperature) in a distillation column, and using the corresponding ethyl or ethyl ester as the esters, and in which the purity of the 5-formyl valeric ester is no lower than 98 % and 4-formyl valeric acid ester is present as an impurity in a quantity of no more than 100 ppm.

    Abstract: Caprolactam is prepared by reacting a solution of 6-aminocapronitrile with water in the liquid phase at elevated temperatures by a process in which (a) an aqueous solution of 6-aminocapronitrile in the liquid phase is heated without the addition of a catalyst in a reactor A to give a mixture I consisting essentially of water, caprolactam and a high-boiling fraction (high boiler), then (b) the water is removed from the resulting mixture I to give a mixture II consisting essentially of caprolactam and the high boilers, then (c) the caprolactam and the high boilers from mixture II are separated from one another by distillation, and then either (d1) the high boilers from stage (c) are fed into the reactor A of stage (a) or (d2) the high boilers are heated similarly to stage (a) in a further reactor B and then worked up similarly to stages (b) and (c) to give further caprolactam, or (d3) the high boilers are heated under reduced pressure in the presence of a base in a reactor C and the reacted mixture is worked up by distillation to give caprolactam.

    Abstract: The invention concerns the simultaneous preparation of caprolactam and hexamethylene diamine from adipodinitrile, by the following steps: (a) the adipodinitrile is partially hydrogenated, producing a mixture substantially containing 6-aminocapronitrile, hexamethylene diamine, ammonia, adipodinitrile and hexamethylene imine (= "the mixture"); (b) the mixture obtained in step (a) is distilled, producing ammonia, as the forerunnings, and a residue I, in the presence of a compound A which is inert in the distillation conditions, the ammonia not being separated totally; (c) the residue I, substantially containing "the mixture", inert compound A and ammonia, the ammonia content being less than that of the mixture used in step (b), is subjected to a second distillation, producing a mixture of the inert compound A and ammonia, as the forerunnings, and a residue II; (d) the base II, substantially containing "the mixture" and inert compound A, is subjected to distillation in a third column, producing the inert compound A, as the forerunnings, and a residue III; (e) the base III, substantially containing "the mixture" and optionally an inert compound B, is subjected to distillation in a fourth column, producing forerunnings KP1, which substantially contain hexamethylene imine, optionally inert compound B and hexamethylene diamine, and a residue IV; (f) the forerunnings KP1 are subjected in a fifth column to distillation, producing forerunnings KP2, which substantially contain hexamethylene imine and optionally inert compound B, and a residue V, which substantially contains hexamethylene diamine with a degree of purity of at least 95 %, the forerunnings KP2 being fed to the third column or optionally only partially fed to the third column, and the rest being discarded; and (g) the residue IV, substantially containing 6-aminocapronitrile and adipodinitrile, is subjected in a sixth column to distillation, producing 6-aminocapronitrile with a degree of purity of at least 95 %, as forerunnings, and adiponitrile in the residue. The resultant 6-aminocapronitrile is cyclized to form caprolactam.
