Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a corresponding alcohol at a high selectivity by selectively hydrogenating a carbonyl compound. SOLUTION: The carbonyl compound represented by formula (I) (wherein R 1 and R 2 are each independently H, a saturated or mono- or polyunsaturated, linear or branched, optionally substituted 1-20C alkyl group, an optionally substituted aryl group, or an optionally substituted heterocyclic group) is subjected to selective liquid phase hydrogenation in the presence of hydrogen and a Pt/ZnO catalyst to produce the corresponding alcohol represented by formula (II) (wherein R 1 and R 2 are each the same as described above).

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing an alkene by partially hydrogenating a 10-30C alkyne. SOLUTION: A palladium compound or, if needed, other metal ion is applied to a heat treated and cooled support material by impregnating a solution containing a palladium salt or, if needed, other metal ion and subsequent drying and 10-2,000 ppm of carbon monoxide (CO) is added or a corresponding amount of CO is generated by a slight decomposition of a compound capable of releasing CO under the reaction condition and added to the reaction mixture.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus and a process for carrying out reactions involving a liquid phase, a gaseous phase and a solid phase with improved mass transfer between the gas phase and the liq. and with isothermal processing. SOLUTION: The above purpose is achieved by an apparatus comprising (i) a dispersing element for dispersing a gas phase in a liq. phase to generate a reaction fluid, (ii) at least one reactor which processes an inlet, an outlet and a reactor space bounded by heat-removing wall which are spaced apart substantially uniformly along the main flow axis of the reaction fluid and which is fitted with a catalyst-coated metal fabric and (iii) a feed line which routes the reaction fluid from the dispersing element to the reactor inlet and is sufficiently short that the degree of dispersion of the reaction fluid does not substantially change in the course of the passage through the feed line.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device for carrying out, in a substantially isothermal manner, a heterogeneously catalysed reaction in a gas phase with high heat tonality. The inventive device comprises at least one reactor chamber (101) with an inlet (131, 141) and an outlet (143). The reactor chamber is defined by heat dissipating walls, lying at a substantially constant distance of /m and good thermal conductibility; the reaction gas in the reactor chamber flows at a rate of >/= 200 m per m surface area per hour; and a heat exchange medium flows on the side of the reactor wall opposite the reactor chamber.
Abstract:
The invention relates to Raney alloy catalysts, which are applied to a support and which have an extremely thin layer comprised of the Raney alloy with a thickness ranging from 0.01 to 100 mu m. These catalysts are produced by vacuum metallizing the respective metals. The catalysts are generally suited for all known hydrogenation and dehydrogenation reactions and are extremely resistant to abrasion.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for the hydrogenation of unsubstituted or at least monoalkyl substituted uni- or poly-nuclear aromatics by means of bringing the above at least one aromatic into contact with a gas containing hydrogen, in the presence of a catalyst comprising at least one metal of sub-group VIII of the periodic system as active metal, supported on a structured or monolithic support.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method, whereby the colour number of polyhydric alcohols, in particular, trihydroxymethylpropane, can be significantly improved by hydrogenation. The method is characterized in that an alcohol is used in the hydrogenation, which has been previously purified by distillation. The conventional catalysts for hydrogenation are used as catalysts, preferably copper, nickel, palladium or ruthenium.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a method for regenerating a hydrogenation catalyst which has been used during a gas phase hydrogenation, said method involving a stripping process with a substance or mixture of substances having no oxidizing effect in the conditions of the process and which is in gaseous state at a temperature ranging between 50 and 300 ~C.
Abstract:
A process for the hydrogenation of a monocyclic or polycyclic aromatic which may be unsubstituted or substituted by at least one aikyi group comprises bringing the aromatic into contact with a hydrogen-containing gas in the presence of a catalyst comprising at least one metal of transition group VIII of the Periodic Table as active metal applied to a structured or monolithic support.
