Description
IMPROVED PROCEDURE FOR THE SIMULTANEOUS OBTAINING OF 6-AMINOCAPRONITRIL AND HEXAMETILENDIAMINE
Description
The present invention relates to a process for simultaneously obtaining 6-aminocapronitrile and hexamethylenediamine, starting from adiponitrile, comprising the following steps
a) hydrogenation of adiponitrile in the presence of a catalyst, which contains as a catalytically active component an element of the eighth secondary group, obtaining a mixture containing 6-aminocapronitrile, hexamethylenediamine, adiponitrile and high-boiling components,
b) distillative separation of hexamethylenediamine from the mixture containing 6-aminocaproni ryl, hexamethylenediamine, adiponitrile and high-boiling components, and, alternatively,
cl) Distillative separation of 6-aminocapronitrile followed by
di) the distillative separation of adiponitrile, or
c2) Simultaneous distillative separation of 6-aminocapronitrile and adiponitrile in separate fractions, which process is characterized in that the background temperatures in steps d) or c2) are below 185 ° C.
It is known to hydrogenate adiponitrile in the presence of elements of the eighth secondary group, especially in the presence of catalysts predominantly containing iron, cobalt, nickel, ruthenium or rhodium, solvents, such as, for example, ammonia, amines or alcohols, and optionally additives, such as, for example, inorganic bases, giving mixtures starting from 6-aminocaprony-trile, hexamethylenediamine and unreacted adiponitrile. Here, catalysts dissolved homogeneously in the liquid phase and fixed-bed catalysts used as a fixed or suspended bed are used.
The iron catalysts which are often used as high-pressure fixed bed catalysts in the liquid phase are described, for example in DE 4,235,466, WO 96/20166, WO96 / 20,043 and DE 19,636,767. Co catalysts are known, for example, from DE 954,416, WO 96/20166 and DE 19,636,768. Nickel catalysts are used in DE 848,654, eg as support catalysts (nickel on A10), but above all, for example, according to US 2,762,835, WO 96/18603 and WO 97 / 10,052 in the form of nickel Raney endowed or not endowed. Fixed bed catalysts are known from US 3,322,815, homogeneously dissolved ruthenium catalysts are known from WO 96/23802 and WO 96/23804. Rhodium catalysts, such as, for example, rhodium on magnesium oxide, are mentioned, for example, in US 4,601,859.
The partial hydrogenation of adiponitrile in mixtures from 6-aminocapronitrile, hexamethylenediamine and unreacted adiponitrile is carried out to obtain 6-aminocapronitrile and hexamethylenediamine in a desired ratio, regulated by appropriate selection of the reaction conditions. The 6-amino-capronitrile can be cyclized, eg according to US 5,646,277, in the liquid phase, in the presence of oxidic catalysts, giving caprolactam. Caprolactam is an important starting product for obtaining nylon 6, hexamethylenediamine is one of the starting materials for obtaining nylon 6. 6
DE-A 19,548,289 discloses a process for the simultaneous preparation of 6-aminocapronitrile and hexamethylenediamine by hydrogenation of adiponitrile in the presence of a catalyst, reaching a partial concentration, the separation of hexamethylenediamine and 6-aminocaproniyl from the mixture and the reaction of 6-aminocapronitrile in caprolactam, as well as the recycling of a portion substantially consisting of adiponitrile to the process.
The disadvantage of this process is that the adiponitrile recovered in the further processing of the reaction discharge contains undesired by-products, especially amines, such as p. ex. l-amino-2-cyanocyclopentene (ACCPE), 2- (5-cyanopentyl-amino) -tetrahydroazepine (CPATHA) and bishexa-methylenetriamine (BHMTA).
The by-products can not be separated by distillation of the adiponitrile by the described process due to the formation of azeotropes or quasi-azeotropes. This results, especially when the adiponitrile is recycled, to an accumulation in the total process.
In recycle, the 2-aminomethylcyclopentylamine derivative (AMCPA), which contaminates the valuable product, hexamethylenediamine, can be formed from the ACCPE in the hydrogenation step. From US-A 3,696,153 it is known that AMCPA is very difficult to separate from hexamethylenediamine.
From DE 19,636,766 it is known to add adiponitrile to recycle 0.01 to 10% by weight of an acid, with respect to adipodinitrile, or an acid ion exchanger, to separate the adiponitrile from this mixture and to recycle it in the hydrogenation reactor . Here the basic by-products containing nitrogen are neutralized by the addition of the acids. The disadvantage of this method is that salts are formed, which must be removed from the process and eliminated. For which an additional procedural stage is needed.
The object of the present invention is therefore to provide a process for separating, in a technically simple and economical manner, adiponitrile from a mixture containing adiponitrile, hexamethylenediamine, 6-amincaproni -tryl and components with a boiling point above that of the adipoditrile ("high-boiling components), obtained by partial hydrogenation of adiponitrile, avoiding the aforementioned disadvantages, as well as recycling the adiponitrile in a pure form as possible.
This object is achieved by the procedure defined above.
The partial hydrogenation of adiponitrile can be carried out according to one of the known processes, for example, according to one of the known processes described in US Pat. No. 4,601,859.1, US Pat. No. 2,762,835, US Pat. No. 2,208,598, DE-A 848,654, DE-A 95.44. .161, WO 96/18603, WO 97 / 10,052, DE-A 42.35.466 or WO 92/21505, carrying out the hydrogenation, in general, in the presence of an element of the eighth secondary group or their mixtures, for example, catalysts containing nickel, cobalt, iron, ruthenium or rhodium.

Preferably, adiponitrile conversions are worked from 10 to 90%, preferably from 30 to 80%, in order to obtain high selectivities of 6-aminocapronitrile.
As a general rule, the sum of 6-aminocapronitrile and hexamethylenediamine is increased according to the catalyst and the reaction conditions to 95 to 99%, the most important by-product being hexamethylene-mine.

Example 1:
a) Obtaining the iron hydrogenation catalyst
For the partial hydrogenation of adiponitrile in 6-aminoca-pronitrile and hexamethylenediamine, an iron catalyst based on a magnetite obtained according to DE 19,636,767, example 2 a) is used. The granulometric fraction of the particle size of 3 to 5 mm is used.
b) Adipodinitrile partial hydrogenation
A tubular reactor (length 180 cm, d = 30 mm) is filled with 720 ml (1630 g) of the mass of catalyst prepared according to a) and without pressure it is reduced in the hydrogen stream (500 Nl / h).
In this process the temperature rises within 24 hours from 30 ° C to 340 ° C and then it is maintained for 72 hours at 340 ° C.
After lowering the temperature, 330 g / h of DNA, 1200 g / h of ammonia and 140 Nl / h of hydrogen are introduced into the reactor at 250 bar and 90 ° C of feed temperature.
Hydrogenation is carried out for 1500 hours under the indicated conditions.

The selectivity of 6-aminocaproni rile decreases during the process from 50% to 48.5%.
c) Further elaboration of the hydrogenation discharge
For the subsequent batch processing, the hydrogenation discharges are collected during the test.
From these discharges, ammonia is first distilled in a column with 20 theoretical plates by the head. As a background product, a mixture is obtained, which according to gas chromatographic analysis consists of approx. 30 mol% 6-aminocaproni rile, 39 mol% adiponitrile and 30 mol% hexamethylenediamine. Hexamethyleneimine is the most important byproduct.
From 1000 g of bottom product obtained, 296 g of hexamethylenediamine are removed in the same column at a bottom temperature of 180 ° C, containing apros. 0.5% by weight of hexamethyleneimine.
695 g of the obtained bottom product are distilled in a continuous-running column in such a way that about 305 g of 6-aminocapronitrile are removed from the head, 380 g of adiponitrile are discharged laterally and 10 g of components are removed from the bottom. of high boiling putno containing adiponitrile. It is distilled at a head pressure of 20 to 40 mbar.
The bottom temperature of the column is varied, changing the head pressure. The reflux ratio is 2: 1. Table 1 shows how the amount of l-amino-2-cyano-cyclopentene in the adiponitrile of the lateral discharge varies as a function of the background temperature of the column.
