Abstract: In the production of anhydrous formic acid by hydrolysis of methyl formate followed by distillation, extraction of the bottom product with an amide extractant (I) and further distillation stages, a part-stream of (I) is taken out and fed into the first distillation column at a point between the inlet for the hydrolysis mixture and the methanol take-off point. A process for the production of (essentially) anhydrous formic acid (FA) involves: (i) hydrolysis of methyl formate (MF), (ii) removal of methanol and excess MF by distillation, (iii) liquid-liquid extraction of the bottom product with an amide of formula R (R )NC(O)R (I), (iv) distillation of the extract, (v) recycling the top product from (iv) (containing water and some FA) to the lower part of the distillation column used in stage (ii), (vi) separation of the bottom product from (iv) by distillation into anhydrous FA and extractant (I) and (vii) recycling (I) into the process from stage (vi). In this process, part of the extractant (I) is taken off and fed into the distillation unit for stage (ii) at a point above the inlet for the hydrolysis mixture and below the take-off point for methanol. R , R = alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl or aralkyl, or R plus R plus the linking nitrogen may form a 5- or 6-membered heterocycle, with the proviso that only one of these groups is aryl; R = H or 1-4C alkyl. An Independent claim is also included for the apparatus used for this process, comprising a synthesis reactor (6), a hydrolysis reactor (1), a distillation column (2) for stage (ii), a distillation column (4) for stage (iv), an extraction unit (3), a distillation column (5) for stage (vi) and a connecting line (8) for transferring a part-stream of extractant (I) to distillation column (2).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for obtaining isobutene from conjugated hydrocarbons. Said method comprises the following steps; a) placing C4-hydrocarbon with a C3- or C4-primary alkanol; b) reacting isobutene in conjugated C4-hydrocarbons with C3- or C4-primary alkanol in the presence of a heterogeneous catalyst to obtain the corresponding isobutene-based tertiary ether; c) causing fractionation of the accumulated reaction mixture into non ethereal C4-hydrocarbons with a low boiling point and isobutene-based tertiary ether with a high boiling point by using a fractionating tower, said C4-hydrocarbons being removed by the head while the isobutene-based tertiary ether accumulated on the bottom is fed into a reactor; d) causing fission of said ether, thereby obtaining isobutene and the corresponding primary C3-C4-alkanol; e) distilling the blending resulting from step d) by using another fractionating tower, and removing the isobutene as an overhead. Step a) is carried out in an area (4C) containing the reaction ingredients in which the catalyst is placed to complete step b); the area (4C) is part of a fractionating tower (4); in said area (4C9 is effected a reaction fractionation; C3- or C4-alkanol is fed upstream from area (4C) of the fractionating tower (4), and the conjugated C4-hydrocarbons downstream from said area (4C).

Abstract: In a pure ethylene oxide distillation process, an aqueous mixture containing ethylene oxide, formaldehyde and at least 5 % by weight water is supplied via an inlet to a distillation device with at least one distillation column at a height above the column bottom of at least 8 theoretical stages. The ethylene oxide is removed at the head of the column and a mixture is obtained at the bottom of the column with less than 5 % by weight ethylene oxide.

Abstract: A process is proposed for distilling ethylene oxide from a mixture containing ethylene oxide in a column at an absolute pressure of 2-10 bar and a temperature of 20-180 DEG C; pure ethylene oxide is removed at the top or through a side discharge in the column and distillation takes place in a column divided up internally into a number of successive zones with structured sheet metal packs or piles of fillers, one or more quenching systems located outside the column being allocated to said zones.

Abstract: Production of ethanolamines comprises reacting ammonia with ethylene oxide in the presence of water in a pressurized reactive distillation column equipped with a reboiler. The energy supply to the reboiler and the ammonia:ethylene oxide ratio in the feed stream are controlled so that the bottoms stream can be separated into an ammonia and water stream and a mono-, di- and triethanolamine stream. Production of mono-, di- and triethanolamine comprises liquid-phase reaction of ammonia with ethylene oxide in the presence of water in a pressurized reactive distillation column (I) equipped with a reboiler, where the mono:di:triethanolamine ratio is controlled by the energy supply to the reboiler and the ammonia content of the bottoms stream is controlled by the ammonia:ethylene oxide ratio in the feed stream so that the bottoms stream can be separated into an ammonia and water stream and a mono-, di- and triethanolamine stream in a single distillation column (II).

Abstract: Production of phthalic anhydride involves the distillation of crude PA under reduced pressure. Production of phthalic anhydride (PA) which complies with specifications involves the distillation of crude PA under reduced pressure in a column from which the volatiles are taken off at or near the top of the column and the pure PA is taken off at a side arm.

Abstract: In the production of anhydrous formic acid by hydrolysis of methyl formate followed by steam distillation, extraction of the bottom product and further distillation stages, the steam used for steam distillation is used before this for stripping the aqueous phase which is discharged from the extraction stage. A process for the production of (essentially) anhydrous formic acid (FA) involves: (i) hydrolysis of methyl formate (MF), (ii) distillation of methanol and excess MF from the hydrolysis mixture with injection of steam into the bottom of the distillation column, (iii) liquid-liquid extraction of the bottom product with an extractant (I) for formic acid, some of the resulting aqueous phase being discharged as effluent, (iv) distillation of the extract, (v) recycling the top product from (iv) (containing water and some FA) to the lower part of the distillation column used in stage (ii), (vi) separation of the bottom product from (iv) into anhydrous FA and extractant (I) by distillation, and (vii) recycling (I) into the process from stage (vi). In this process, the steam injected in stage (ii) is used before this as waste water stripping steam to treat the aqueous phase discharged from stage (iii). An Independent claim is also included for the apparatus used for this process, comprising a synthesis reactor (6), a hydrolysis reactor (1), a distillation column (2) for stage (ii), a distillation column (4) for stage (iv), an extractor (3), a distillation column (5) for stage (vi) and a waste water stripper (10).

Production of anhydrous formic acid comprises: (a) hydrolyzing methyl formate; (b) distilling the hydrolysis mixture to remove methanol and unreacted methyl formate; (c) introducing methanol-containing methyl formate into the distillation column at a point above the methanol withdrawal point and below the methyl formate withdrawal point; (d) recycling the methyl formate to step (a); (e) extracting formic acid from the distillation bottoms stream with a selective solvent; (f) distilling the extract to obtain a water-rich overhead stream and a bottoms stream comprising formic acid and solvent; (g) recycling the overhead stream to the bottom of the distillation column in step (b); (h) distilling the bottoms stream from step (f) to obtain an anhydrous formic acid stream and a solvent stream; and (i) recycling the solvent stream to step (e). An Independent claim is also included for apparatus for carrying out the process, comprising a synthesis reactor, a hydrolysis reactor, an extractor, and distillation columns for performing steps (b), (f) and (h).
