Description
PROCEDURE FOR OBTAINING ALPHA, OMEGA-ALIPHATIC DIAMINES
Description
The present invention relates to a process for obtaining aliphatic alpha, ormega-diamines by hydrogenation of alpha, aliphatic dinitriles in the presence of a catalyst, which process is characterized in that a catalyst is used for hydrogenation, which contains
(a) iron or an iron-based compound or mixtures thereof,
(b) from 0.001 to 0.3% by weight, with respect to (a), of a promoter based on 2, 3, 4 or 5 elements selected from the group comprising aluminum, silicon, zirconium, titanium, vanadium, and as
(c) from 0 to 0.3% by weight, with respect to (a), of a compound based on an alkali metal and / or an alkaline earth metal.
Furthermore, the invention relates to the use of masses, which contain the components (a), (b) and (c) as catalysts in the preparation of alpha, ormega-diamines by hydrogenation of alpha-, omega-dinitriles.
From Eissermel / Arpe, Industrielle Organische Chemie, Verlag Chemie, third edition, 1988, page 266, it is known to hydrogenate adipodinitrile in the presence of ammonia under high pressure conditions, in the presence of iron catalysts, giving hexamethylenediamine, an important intermediate product for obtaining nylon 6.6.
Important characteristics for optimal iron catalysts are a high mechanical resistance, a long catalyst life, a high space-time yield in hexamethylenediamine, given a complete conversion of adipodinityl and 6-aminocapronitrile, an alteration in hexamethylenediamine with a very low content possible in unwanted by-products.
These undesired by-products are formed, depending on the catalyst, in different amounts and are only difficult and complicated to separate from the diamine formed as a valuable product.
Thus they are formed, for example, in the hydrogenation of adipodini-trile giving hexamene-1-diamine, different amounts of, for example, 6-aminocapronitrile (ACN), tetrahydroazepine (THA), l-amino-2-cyanocyclopentene (ICCP), 2- aminomethylcyclopentyl-mine (AMCPA), 1,2-diaminocyclohexane (DCH) and bis-hexamethylene-triamine (BHMTA). From US-A 3 696 153 it is known that AMCPA and DCH are very difficult to separate from hexamethylenediamine. Especially high amounts of AMCPA, DCH and THA result in high distillation costs, which translate into considerably high research and energy costs.
From US-A-.282,381, column 2, table 1, it is known that in the hydrogenation of adiponitrile in hexamethylenediamine in the presence of iron catalysts, an average of 2,400 to 4,000 ppm of 1, 2 are formed as by-products, among others. -diaminocyclohexane, 100 to 300 ppm of 2-aminomethyl-clopentilamine, 200 to 900 ppm of tetrahydroazepine and 2000 to 5000 ppm of 6-aminocapronitrile.
From DE-A-2 429 293, Example 1, it is known that, in the hydrogenation of adiponitrile, the quantity of ammonia at 93 to 98 ° C (inlet temperature in the reactor) is obtained in the presence of five times. or 94 to 104 ° C (exit temperature), in the presence of an iron catalyst equipped with aluminum oxide, silicon dioxide, calcium oxide and vanadium pentoxide, prepared from magentite by reduction with hydrogen, 98, 22% hexamethylenediamine with a content of 1.2 diaminicyclohexane of 1900 ppm. It is known from Example 2 that in the hydrogenation of adiponitrile, in the presence of five times the weight of ammonia, it is obtained at 93 to 98 ° C (inlet temperature in the reactor) or 94 to 104 ° C (temperature of exit, in the presence of an iron catalyst equipped with aluminum oxide, silicon dioxide and calcium oxide, prepared from a labradori a-hematia mineral (Fe20) by reduction with hydrogen, 98.05% of hexamethylenediamine with a content of 3500 ppm of 1.2 diaminocyclohexane.
