Abstract:
A process for reacting ethylenediamine-formaldehyde adduct (EDFA) and/or ethylene-diamine-monoformaldehyde adduct (EDMFA) with hydrogen cyanide (HCN) in a reactor with limited backmixing at a temperature in the range from 20 to 120° C., wherein the residence time in the reactor is 300 seconds or less.
Abstract:
Preparing a primary amine by alcohol amination of alcohol with ammonia and elimination of water includes reacting, in a homogeneously catalyzed reaction, a mixture of alcohol, ammonia, nonpolar solvent, and catalyst, in a liquid phase, to obtain a product mixture. The process then includes phase separating the product mixture into a polar product phase and a nonpolar product phase, and separating off the nonpolar product phase. At least some of the nonpolar phase returns to the homogenously catalyzed reaction. The process further includes separating off amination product from the polar product phase. At least some of the catalyst is in the nonpolar phase, and the catalyst accumulates in the nonpolar phase.
Abstract:
A process for preparing TETA and/or DETA by hydrogenating EDDN and/or EDMN with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst, which comprises preparing EDDN and/or EDMN from FA, HCN and EDA in the presence of toluene as a solvent and performing the hydrogenation in suspension mode in the presence of THF.
Abstract:
A process for preparing EDDN and/or EDMN by conversion of FA, HCN and EDA, the reaction being effected in the presence of water, and, after the conversion, water being depleted from the reaction mixture in a distillation column, which comprises performing the distillation in the presence of an organic solvent which has a boiling point between water and EDDN and/or EDMN at the distillation pressure existing in the column or which forms a low-boiling azeotrope with water.

Abstract:
Process for preparing alkanolamines which have a primary amino group (—NH2) and a hydroxyl group (—OH) by alcohol amination of diols having two hydroxyl groups (—OH) by means of ammonia with elimination of water, wherein the reaction is carried out homogeneously catalyzed in the presence of at least one complex catalyst comprising at least one element selected from groups 8, 9 and 10 of the Periodic Table and also at least one donor ligand.
Abstract:
A process is disclosed for separating the output from the reaction of EDDN or EDMN with hydrogen in the presence of THF, a catalyst, TETA or DETA, water, and optionally organic compounds having higher and lower boiling points than TETA or DETA. Hydrogen is removed, and the output is supplied to a distillation column DK1 in which an azeotrope, optionally comprising organic compounds with a boiling point lower than TETA or DETA, is removed from the top. A product comprising TETA or DETA is removed from the bottom and passed into a distillation column DK2, removing THF. A stream comprising TETA or DETA passes from the bottom of DK2. The DK1 azeotrope is condensed. Phase separation is induced by the addition of an organic solvent essentially immiscible with water, and the mixture is separated. The organic phase is recycled into DK1 and the water phase is discharged.
Abstract:
A process for preparing amines of the formula (II) R1—NH—CH2—CH2—NH2 (II) in which R1 is hydrogen or radicals of the formula x is integers from zero to two, by reacting nitriles of the formula (I) R2—NH—CH2—CN (I) in which R2 is hydrogen or radicals of the formula and R3 is the NC— or H2N—CH2- radicals and x is integers from zero to two, with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst in suspension mode or in a fixed bed, wherein the space velocity on the catalyst, based on the catalyst surface area, is 10−6 to 10−4 kg of nitrile of the formula (I) per m2 of catalyst surface area and hour, the catalyst surface area being determined by the BET method.
