Patent number: 11806669Abstract: The invention provides an improvement in terms of control and process technology for a method of continuous removal of a component from a liquid mixture using a membrane unit comprising at least one membrane stage. The improvement is that a portion of the overall permeate stream is recycled to the feed vessel and/or beyond the feed vessel but upstream of the conveying device, and the remainder of the overall permeate stream is removed, with the recycled permeate having a higher concentration of the component to be separated off than the removed permeate. The presently disclosed method can especially be used for separation of a homogeneously dissolved catalyst from a liquid reaction mixture.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2021Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: Evonik Operations GmbHInventors: Frederik Gluth, Marc Schäpertöns, Thomas Quell, Frank Geilen, Stefan Drees, Fabian Höckelmann, Robert Franke

Patent number: 11440863Abstract: The invention provides a process for preparing an alcohol by hydrogenating an ester which is obtained by alkoxycarbonylating a C2 to C20 hydrocarbon having at least one multiple bond, preferably having at least one olefinic double bond, in which the homogeneous catalyst system used is separated from the product mixture by means of membrane separation. In a development of the present invention, the ester thus formed is converted to another ester by transesterification and then hydrogenated.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2020Date of Patent: September 13, 2022Assignee: Evonik Operations GmbHInventors: Peter Kucmierczyk, Robert Franke, Dirk Fridag, Johannes Knossalla, Marc Schäpertöns, Frederik Gluth

Patent number: 11396488Abstract: The present invention provides a process for preparing aldehydes from C2 to C20 olefins using a subsequent membrane separation to separate the homogeneously dissolved catalyst system, wherein prior to the membrane separation a gas exchange that increases the partial pressure fraction of carbon monoxide or hydrogen is carried out in order to boost catalyst retention by the membrane.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2021Date of Patent: July 26, 2022Assignee: Evonik Operations GmbHInventors: Alexander Brächer, Johannes Knossalla, Dirk Fridag, Robert Franke, Frederik Gluth, Marc Schäpertöns, Christoph Kubis, Anna Chiara Sale, Peter Kucmierczyk, Ana Markovic

Publication number: 20220193609Abstract: The invention provides an improvement in terms of control and process technology for a method of continuous removal of a component from a liquid mixture using a membrane unit comprising at least one membrane stage. The improvement is that at least some of the overall permeate stream obtained is recycled to the feed vessel and/or beyond the feed vessel but upstream of the conveying device. The presently disclosed method can especially be used for separation of a homogeneously dissolved catalyst from a liquid reaction mixture.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 13, 2021Publication date: June 23, 2022Applicant: Evonik Operations GmbHInventors: Thomas Quell, Johannes Knossalla, Robert Franke, Stefan Drees, Frederik Gluth, Marc Schäpertöns, Fabian Höckelmann
