Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for carrying out catalyzed oxidation reactions of hydrocarbons on a catalyst that is arranged in a reactor. The method according to the invention is characterized in that the product gas flow of the catalyzed oxidation reaction is cooled directly after its exit from the reaction zone of the reactor by feeding a temperature-controlled gas flow which is fed by means of at least one feeding device to the area between the lower reactor bottom and the outlet of the product gas flow.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for production of polyvalent alcohols with low acetal content by catalytic hydrogenation of methylolalkanals of general formula (I), where R 1 and R 2 independently = a further methylol or C 1 - 22 alkyl group or C 6 - C 33 aryl or aralkyl group in the liquid phase on a hydrogenation catalyst, characterised in that at least one tertiary amine, inorganic base or inorganic or organic acid is added to the hydrogenation feed to adjust the pH value of the hydrogenation product to 7.0 to 9.0.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a catalytically active composition containing Pd and Bi as active constituents, and at least one element selected from the group (a) consisting of Rh, Au, Sb, V, Cr, W, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Na, Cs and Ba; or Pd, Rh and Bi, and optionally an element selected from the group (a') consisting of Au, Sb, V, Cr, W, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Pt, Cu, Ag, Na, Cs, Mg, Ca and Ba. The invention also relates to a method for dehydrating hydrocarbons, preferably oxofunctionalised hydrocarbons such as cyclopentanone, cyclohexanone and isovaleraldehyde, by means of the catalytically active composition.
Abstract:
The disclosure involves a process for the preparation of butadiene and 1-butene. The process includes at least a first catalytic dehydrogenation of n-butane to obtain a gas stream which is followed by at least a second oxidative dehydrogenation to form a second gas stream. The second gas stream is then subjected to distillation and isomeration steps to obtain butadiene and 1-butene.
Abstract:
The disclosure relates to a process for preparing butadiene. The process involves nonoxidatively catalytically dehydrogenating butane to obtain a product gas stream containing butane, 1-butene, 2-butene, butadiene, hydrogen and secondary constituents. The 1-butene and 2-butene of the product gas stream is then oxidatively dehydrogenated to give a second gas stream containing butane,2-butene, butadiene, hydrogen, steam and secondary constituents. Next, the butane,2-butene and butadiene are separated from the second gas stream and the butane and 2-butene are then separated from the butadiene product. The butane and 2-butene are then recycled into the nonoxidative catalytic dehydrogenating zone.

Abstract:
A process for preparing formaldehyde by gas-phase oxidation of methanol vapor by means of a gas stream comprising molecular oxygen in the presence of a fixed-bed catalyst comprising iron and molybdenum, wherein the process is carried out in a reactor ( 1 ) having heat-exchange plates ( 2 ) which are arranged in the longitudinal direction of the reactor ( 1 ) and have a spacing between them and through which a heat transfer medium flows, inlet and outlet facilities ( 3, 4 ) for the heat transfer medium to the heat-exchange plates ( 2 ) and also gaps ( 5 ) between heat-exchange plates ( 2 ) in which the fixed-bed catalyst is present and into which the methanol vapor and the gas stream comprising molecular oxygen are passed, is described.
