Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a catalytic method for producing an alkali metal alkoxide (alkali metal alkanolate), a known reagent in the organic chemistry, and useful in the case of requiring a strong base as a reaction material and also as a catalyst in a specific reaction. SOLUTION: This catalytic method for producing the alkali metal alkoxide is to react an alkali metal amalgam with an alcohol in the presence of a catalyst containing iron having >=0.3 mass % carbon content.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide the reactor having a heat exchanger plate, especially flow-technically preferable, freely adaptable to the temp. profile of different chemical reactions and capable of being easily produced in terms of structural technique. SOLUTION: This reacter 1 is provided with the heat-exchanger plates 2 through which a heat-transfer agent flows and arranged in the longitudinal direction of the reactor 1 away from one another, the feeder and discharge 5 and 6 for the heat-exchange agent with respect to the heat-exchanger plates 2 and an intermediate space between the heat-exchanger plates 2 through which a reaction medium flows. In this case, heat-exchanger plates 2 are radically arranged in the reactor 2 while securing the place for an internal space in the center.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a reactor which is more economical than a conventional reactor by using a gas distributor with a simple structure and a reactor which is used for a gas/liquid reaction or a gas/liquid/solid reaction without being hardly influenced by improper reaction caused by pulsatory motions. SOLUTION: A reactor having a vertical longitudinal axis, an inlet for liquid or liquid/solid feed stream in the upper side region of the reactor and an inlet 3 for gas stream in the lower side region of the reactor is used for gas/liquid reaction or gas/liquid/solid reaction, and the gas flow is transferred through a gas distribution module 9 which is mainly made from straight pipe-like parts 14 and 15.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a process for preparing n-butylamines by which the defects in the prior art are overcome, and the desired n-butylamine, or two or more desired n-butylamines can be produced in a high space time yield and selectivity. SOLUTION: An n-butenyl amine is produced by reacting 1,3-butadiene in a shape of a 1,3-butadiene-containing mixture obtained when cracking a petroleum fragment, or when dehydrogenating LPG or LNG, or obtained by a GTL (gas to liquid) technique, with a primary amine and/or a secondary amine under a hydroamination condition, and the provided butenylamine(s) is reacted with hydrogen under an alkyl-exchanging reaction condition at the second process step to provide the objective n-butylamines.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for hydroformylating an olefin having at least 6 carbon atoms that achieves as high conversion as possible for a given reactor volume. SOLUTION: At least one kind of olefin is introduced along with synthesis gas at the lower end of the first reaction chamber and then the reaction mixture reacted in part is introduced to the lower end of the second reaction chamber out of the upper end of the first reaction chamber and then the hydroformylated olefin is taken out at the upper end of the second reaction chamber, using a vertically long cylindrical reactor of which the internal space is divided by a partition into at least two reaction chambers essentially extended to the longitudinal direction of the reactor.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing alkyl aromatic compounds by reacting C3-30 olefins or alcohols, from which C3-30 olefins are formed under the reaction conditions, with an aromatic hydrocarbon in the presence of an alkylation catalyst. The reaction is carried out in a reactor cascade consisting of at least two reactors, whereby each of the reactors contain the alkylation catalyst, at least 80 % of the aromatic hydrocarbon is fed into the first reactor of the reactor cascade, and at least 40 % of the olefins are fed in an intermediate manner after the first reactor.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing acrolein and/or acrylic acid from propane and/or propene, comprising the following steps: (a) separating the propane and/or propene from a gas mixture containing propane or propene by means of absorption into an absorption agent, (b) separating the propane and/or propene from the absorption agent thereby obtaining a gas B, and (c) using the gas B obtained in step (b) to convert propane and/or propene into acrolein and/or acrylic acid by means of oxidation. No heterogeneously catalysed dehydrogenation of propane is carried out between steps (b) and (c) without a supply of oxygen.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for hydrating hydrocarbon compounds selected among the group comprising alkynes, dienes, alkenynes, and polyenes (hydrocarbons I). According to the inventive method, a gas stream containing hydrogen and a hydrocarbon I is directed through a hydration zone containing a hydration catalyst. The beginning of the hydration zone is located at a point whose geodetic height is lower than that of the end of the hydration zone.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for hydrogenating liquid organic compounds, in particular for hydrogenating nitro compounds to obtain amines. Said method is characterised in that the hydrogen that is present in the reactor contains constituent parts of at least one gas that is inert during the hydrogenation reaction.
