Hexamethylentetramin entsteht unter starker Wärmeentwicklung bei der Einwirkung von Formr aldehyd auf Ammoniak. Bei den heute üblichen Verfahren macht die Abführung der Reaktionswärme Schwierigkeiten. Außerdem geht, obsehon zum späteren Eindampfen der Hexamethylentetraminlösung große Wärmemengen benötigt werden, die Reaktionswärme verloren.Hexamethylenetetramine is produced under the influence of Formr with strong heat development aldehyde to ammonia. With the usual ones today Process makes it difficult to remove the heat of reaction. In addition, it works large amounts of heat are required for later evaporation of the hexamethylenetetramine solution, the heat of reaction lost.

Es ist ferner aus der deutschen Patentschrift 8o2 457 bekannt, die Reaktionswärme in dem Verfahren selbst teilweise zur Verdampfung von flüssigem Ammoniak, das in die Reaktion eingeführt wird, auszunutzen. Auch hat man schon die Reaktionswärme der Umsetzung in einem Wärmeaustauscher teilweise auf die Mutterlauge des Verfahrens übertragen;, um sie für die Eindampfung der Reaktionslösung auszunutzen (USA.-Patentschrift 2449040).It is also known from German Patent 8o2 457, the heat of reaction in the process itself partly to the evaporation of liquid ammonia that is introduced into the reaction will take advantage of it. You also have the heat of reaction of the conversion in a heat exchanger partially transferred to the mother liquor of the process; in order to use it for evaporation of the To utilize the reaction solution (U.S. Patent 2449040).

Es wurde nun gefunden, daß man die Reaktionswärme der Reaktion zwischen. Formaldehyd: und Ammoniak vollständig in dem Verfahren ausnutzen kann, wenn man die Reaktion beim Siedepunkt des Reaktionsgeniisches durchführt, so daß die Reaktionswärme eine Verdampfung der entsprechenden Menge Wasser bewirkt. Durch Wahl eines geeigneten Unter- oder Überdruckes kann die Siedetemperatur so gewählt werden, wie es die günstigste Reaktionstemperatur verlangt.It has now been found that the heat of reaction of the reaction between. Formaldehyde: and Ammonia can be fully utilized in the process if the reaction is at the boiling point of the Reaction geniisches carries out so that the heat of reaction causes the corresponding amount of water to evaporate. By choosing a suitable one Under or over pressure, the boiling temperature can be selected as it is the most favorable Reaction temperature required.

dem unten eingeleiteten gasförmigen Ammoniak entgegen. Der Druck wird z. B. auf etwa 150 mm Quecksilber, entsprechend einer Siedetemperatur des Wassers von etwa 6o°, eingestellt. Die Dosierung des Ammoniaks erfolgt z. B. so, daß durch ein pH-Regelgerät oder durch ein polarographisches Regelgerät stets auf ein neutral ausfließendes Gemisch geregelt wird. Die Reaktionskolonne ist oben über einen Kühler, in dem das abgedampfte Lösungsmittel kondensiert wird, mit einer Vakuumpumpe verbunden. Das Hexamethylentetramin wird, wie üblich, durch Eindampfen in einem Vakuum-Eindampfapparat gewonnen. Die Ausbeute an Hexamethylentetramin betragt 98,3%.against the gaseous ammonia introduced below. The pressure is z. B. to about 150 mm of mercury, corresponding to a boiling temperature of the water of about 6o °. The ammonia is metered in, for. As is so that it is always regulated by a p H -Regelgerät or by a polarographic control device to a neutral effluent mixture. The top of the reaction column is connected to a vacuum pump via a condenser in which the evaporated solvent is condensed. The hexamethylenetetramine is obtained, as usual, by evaporation in a vacuum evaporator. The yield of hexamethylenetetramine is 98.3%.

In dem abgedampften Lösungsmittel sind nur Spuren bis höchstens 2% an Ammoniak bzw. Formaldehyd zu finden.There are only traces of ammonia or formaldehyde up to a maximum of 2% in the evaporated solvent to find.

2. Zur Gewinnung eines ohne Umkristallisieren reinen Hexamethylentetramins kann man, statt das Hexamethylentetramin dlurch Eindampfen der Lösung bis zur Trockne zu gewinnen, nuir bis zur konzentrierten Lösung eindampfen und aus dieser, z. B. in einem Rieseltturm., mit Ammoniak das Hexamethylentetramin ausfällen. Die ammoniakalische Mutterlauge wird im Vakuum mit Formaldehyd zur Reaktion gebracht, wobei die Reaktionswärme wieder zum Eindampfen ausgenutzt und der zugegebene Formaldehyd durch ein pH-Regelgerät oder ein polarographisches Regelgerät dosiert wird. Durch geeignete Regelgeräte kann das Verfahren völlig kontinuierlich gestaltet werden.2. To obtain a pure hexamethylenetetramine without recrystallization, you can instead the hexamethylenetetramine can be obtained by evaporating the solution to dryness, only up to evaporate concentrated solution and from this, z. B. in a trickle tower., With ammonia that Precipitate hexamethylenetetramine. The ammoniacal mother liquor is treated with formaldehyde in vacuo brought to reaction, the heat of reaction being used again for evaporation and the added formaldehyde through a pH regulator or a polarographic control device is dosed. With suitable control devices the process can be designed to be completely continuous.

Obwohl es sich nicht um eine Ionenumsetzung, sondern um eine Moleküllumsetzung handelt, geht die Umsetzung fast momentan vor sich. Es werden 99% Ausbeute erhalten. Das Kondensat ist frei von Ammoniak und Formaldehyd.Although it is not an ion conversion, but rather a molecular conversion, the conversion is almost instantaneous. It will 99% yield obtained. The condensate is free from ammonia and formaldehyde.
