Patent number: 11560353Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to processes for recovering tricyanohexane (TCH) via purification of by-product or co-product streams of adiponitrile production. In particular, the present disclosure relates to a process for purifying tricyanohexane (TCH), the process having the steps of (a) separating an adiponitrile process stream comprising adiponitrile and TCH to form a first overhead lights stream comprising low-boiling components and high-boiling components and a first bottoms heavies stream comprising high-boiling components and solid impurities; and (b) separating the first overhead lights stream in a distillation column to form a second overhead lights stream comprising low-boiling components, a second bottoms heavies stream comprising high-boiling components, and a TCH stream comprising TCH and less than 10 wt. % impurities; wherein the distillation column is a low pressure distillation column.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2020Date of Patent: January 24, 2023Assignee: Ascend Performance Materials Operations LLCInventors: Sanjay Dube, Benjamin Haseltine, Jefferson Thomas Ebert, Darrick Elmore
