Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing one or more complexing agents, selected from methylglycinediacetic acid, glutamic acid diacetic acid, and salts thereof, by catalytically dehydrogenating N,N-bis-(2-hydroxyethyl)-alanine and/or N,N-bis-(2-hydroxyethyl)-glutamic acid or salts thereof in the presence of alkali hydroxide, a catalyst containing copper and zirconium dioxide being used, the activation of which is a reduction, characterized in that the precursor of the catalyst in question has a degree of crystallization K defined as (I) in the range of 0 to 50%.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a catalyst for the catalytic oxidation of hydrogen chloride with oxygen into chlorine, containing ruthenium on a carrier, characterized in that the catalyst contains 0.01 to 10 wt % of silver and/or calcium as (a) doping agent(s). The carrier is preferably made substantially of alpha-aluminum oxide. The catalyst preferably contains a) 0.1 to 10 wt % of ruthenium, b) 0.01 to 5 wt % of silver and/or 0.01 to 5 wt % of calcium, c) 0 to 5 wt % of one or more alkaline earth metals, d) 0 to 5 wt % of one or more alkali metals, e) 0 to 5 wt % of one or more rare earth metals, f) 0 to 5 wt % of one or more additional metals selected from the group consisting of nickel, palladium, platinum, iridium, and rhenium, the percentages being relative to the total weight of the catalyst.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for recovering ruthenium from a spent ruthenium-containing catalyst which contains ruthenium in the form of ruthenium oxide on a support material that is poorly soluble in mineral acid. Said method comprises the following steps: a) the catalyst containing ruthenium oxide is reduced in a gas stream containing hydrogen chloride and an optional inert gas at a temperature ranging from 300 to 500°C; b) the catalyst that has been reduced in step a) and contains metallic ruthenium on the poorly soluble support material is treated with hydrochloric acid in the presence of a gas containing oxygen such that the metallic ruthenium on the support is dissolved in the form of ruthenium(III) chloride and is recovered in the form of aqueous ruthenium(III) chloride solution; c) if necessary, the ruthenium(III) chloride solution obtained in step b) is further processed.
Abstract:
Catalizador para la oxidación catalítica de cloruro de hidrógeno con oxígeno para dar cloro, que contiene rutenioy plata o calcio sobre un soporte, caracterizado porque el catalizador contiene aproximadamente un 1,0 a un 2,0 %en peso de rutenio y un 0,2 a un 1,0 % en peso de plata, o un 0,5 a un 1,0 % en peso de calcio sobre óxido de alfaaluminiocomo soporte, y además no contiene otros metales activos ni metales promotores, presentándose ruteniocomo RuO2.
Abstract:
Procedimiento para la recuperación de rutenio a partir de un catalizador usado que contiene rutenio, el cual contiene rutenio como óxido de rutenio sobre un material de soporte escasamente soluble en ácido mineral, con las etapas: a) el catalizador que contiene óxido de rutenio se reduce en una corriente de gas que contiene cloruro de hidrógeno y opcionalmente un gas inerte a una temperatura de 300 a 500 °C; b) el catalizador reducido en la etapa a) se trata con ácido clorhídrico en presencia de un gas que contiene oxígeno, disolviéndose el rutenio metálico presente sobre el soporte como cloruro de rutenio (III) y obteniéndose como disolución acuosa de cloruro de rutenio (III); c) opcionalmente se trata adicionalmente la disolución de cloruro de rutenio (III) de la etapa b) .
