Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for obtaining 3-aminomethyl-3,5,5-trimethyl cyclohexylamine (isophorone diamine, IPDA) with a cis/trans isomer ratio of at least 73/27 by fractional distillation. Said method comprises the following steps: a) preparation of IPDA with a cis/trans isomer ratio /=73/27 and iv) an IPDA fraction with a cis/trans isomer ratio
Abstract:
Recovery of isophoronediamine (IPDA) comprises preparation of IPDA having a cis/trans isomer ratio of less than 73/27 and separation into at least 5 fractions by distillation including an IPDA fraction having a cis/trans ratio of greater than 73/27 and a fraction having a cis/trans ratio of less than 66/34. A process for the recovery of 3-aminomethyl-3,5,5-trimethylcyclohexylamine (isophoronediamine, IPDA) comprises; (a) preparation of IPDA having a cis/trans isomer ratio of less than 73/27; (b) introduction of IPDA to the middle region of a distillation column having inserts and distillation of IPDA at 5-300 degreesC and 10-2000 mbar; (c) optionally further purification of the IPDA from (b) by distillation in at least one further column whereby the IPDA from step (b) and (c) are separated into at least 5 fractions comprising an organic fraction (1a) containing impurities having a lower b. pt. than trans-IPDA, an aqueous fraction (1b) containing impurities having a lower b. pt. than trans-IPDA, a fraction (2) containing impurities having a higher b. pt. than cis-IPDA, an IPDA fraction (3) having a cis/trans ratio of greater than 73/27 and an IPDA fraction (4) having a cis/trans ratio of less than 66/34.

Abstract:
Pure isophorone-diamine (IPDA) with a cis/trans isomer ratio (CTR) of at least 73/27 is obtained by (a) making crude IPDA with a CTR below 73/27, (b) purifying and separating into fractions with CTR of at least 73/27 (b1) and below 63/37 (b2), (c) isomerizing (b2) in presence of hydrogen, ammonia and catalyst to give IPDA with a CTR of 63/37-66/34 which is recycled to stage (a). A method (M1) for the production of substantially pure 3-aminomethyl-3,5,5-trimethyl cyclohexylamine (isophorone-diamine; IPDA) with a cis/trans isomer ratio (CTR) of at least 73/27 involves: (a) preparation of crude IPDA with a CTR of less than 73/27, (b) purification and separation to give fractions (b1) with a CTR of at least 73/27 and (b2) with a CTR of less than 63/27 and (c) isomerization of (b2) in presence of hydrogen, ammonia and a hydrogenation catalyst to give IPDA with a CTR of 63/37-66/34 which is then recycled to stage (a). An Independent claim is also included for a method (M2) for the production of IPDA with a CTR in the range 63/37 to 66/34 by reacting IPDA with any CTR value with hydrogen and ammonia in presence of a hydrogenation catalyst.
