Abstract

The invention relates to a method for producing hexanediol by hydrogenating adipic acid dialkyl esters or mixtures containing adipic acid dialkyl esters as an essential constituent and organic halogen compounds as impurities. According to said method, the adipic acid dialkyl esters or the mixtures containing adipic acid dialkyl esters are guided over copper catalysts at a temperature of 50 to 250 ~C and at a pressure of 1 to 100 bar before hydrogenation in order to remove the organic halogen compounds. Said copper catalysts contain 0.5 to 80 wt. % copper calculated as CuO and have a surface of 5 to 1500 m2/g, 0.05 to 1.5 cm3/g porosity and a copper surface of 0.1 to 20 m2/g.

7. A process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the halogen-containing impurities are removed in the liquid phase in continuous operation with a liquid space velocity of 0.1 - 10 kg of ester mixture per 1 of catalyst per hour at 100 - 200°C and at 1 - 10 bar.
8. A process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the halogen-containing impurities are removed in the liquid phase in continuous operation with a liquid space velocity of 0.2 - 1.0 kg of ester mixture per 1 of catalyst per hour at 150 - 180°C and at 1 - 5 bar.
9. A process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the starting material used is an ester fraction as obtained (a) by esterification of an aqueous dicarboxylic acid mixture, which contains adipic acid, 6-hydroxycaproic acid and small amounts of 1,4-cyclohexanediols and which is obtained as a byproduct in the oxidation of cyclohexane to cyclohexanone/cyclohexanol with oxygen or oxygen-containing gases and by water extraction of the reaction mixture, with a low molecular weight alcohol, (b) removal of the excess alcohol and of the low boilers in a first distillation stage and (c) separation of the bottom product in a second distillation into a fraction containing at least the major part of the cyclohexanediols and an ester fraction which is essentially free of 1,4-cyclohexanediols and is to be hydrogenated.
10. A process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the content of organic halogen compounds is reduced to less than 0.1 ppm.
