PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an economical method of producing tetrahydrogeraniol by reaction or use of the residues obtained during the production of linalool, citronellal, citronellol or geraniol/nerol. SOLUTION: The production mixture and distillation residue obtained from the syntheses of linalool, citronellal, or geraniol/nerol is directly subjected to the catalytic hydrogenation.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a continuous method of producing an unsaturated alcohol by selectively hydrogenating an olefinically unsaturated carbonyl compound, particularly citral is selectively hydrogenated to continuously produce a mixture of geraniol and nerol. SOLUTION: An olefinic unsaturated carbonyl compound is selectively hydrogenated in the reactor including the liquid phase that holds at least one kind of catalyst suspension and may include the gas phase additionally to produce unsaturated alcohols. The reactor used in this process has an opening or a flow channel with the hydraulic diameter of 0.5-20 mm. COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an improved process for the preparation of an iron-doped ruthenium catalyst supported on carbon, and to provide its use for a selective liquid phase hydrogenation of a carbonyl compound to give a corresponding alcohol. SOLUTION: In the process for the preparation of the catalyst comprising iron in addition to ruthenium on the carbon support, the process comprises a stage of simultaneously precipitating the catalytically active components onto the support. The catalyst prepared can be used to obtain geraniol or nerol in good selectivity by in particular the hydrogenation of citral. COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for the heterogenically catalysed gas-phase partial oxidation of precursor compounds of (meth)acrylic acid in a fixed catalyst bed, containing as the catalyst an activated mass of mixed oxide, shaped to form a geometric body. Said geometric body is a geometric base body, into whose surface a cavity is incorporated.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing acrylic acid by the heterogeneously catalysed gas-phase oxidation of propane on a multi-metal oxide mass, said mass containing the elements Mo, V, Te and/or Sb and having a specific X-ray diffractogram.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing a catalyst, comprising an active phase, composed of a multi metal oxide and which is suitable for the gas-phase oxidation of organic compounds producing alpha , beta unsaturated aldehydes and/or carboxylic acids. According to the invention, a particle shaped catalyst precursor is produced which contains oxides and/or compounds which can be transformed into oxides containing elements constituting the multi metal oxide mass which are different from oxygen. Said catalyst precursor can be transformed into a catalytically active form by means of calcination, whereby a flow of the particle shaped catalyst precursor for calcification is guided at a substantially constant speed through at least one calcification zone at a constant temperature.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing a multi-metal oxide material containing Mo, Bi, Fe and Ni and/or Co. The invention is characterised in that the source of the Bi is added in portions during the production process.
Abstract:
A process is described for selectively hydrogenating citronellal to citronellol in which a liquid phase, in which the citronellal is dissolved and particles of a catalyst are suspended which is capable of preferentially hydrogenating carbon-oxygen double bonds over carbon-carbon double bonds, is conducted through a device which inhibits the transport of the catalyst particles in the presence of a hydrogen-containing gas.
Abstract:
In a process for the catalytic gas-phase oxidation of propene to acrolein, the reaction gas starting mixture is passed with a propene loading of >=160 l(S.T.P.)/l.h over a fixed-bed catalyst which is housed in two spatially successive reaction zones A,B, the reaction zone B being kept at a higher temperature than the reaction zone A.
Abstract:
A process for the catalytic gas-phase oxidation of propene to acrylic acid, in which the reaction gas starting mixture is oxidized, with a high propene loading, in a first reaction stage, over a first fixed-bed catalyst which is housed in two successive reaction zones A, B, the reaction zone B being kept at a higher temperature than the reaction zone A, and the acrolein-containing product gas mixture of the first reaction stage is then oxidized in a second reaction stage, with a high acrolein loading, over a second fixed-bed catalyst which is housed in two successive reaction zones C, D, the reaction zone D being kept at a higher temperature than the reaction zone C.
