Patent number: 7271292Abstract: The invention relates to a process for continuously, distillatively removing piperazine from an ethylenediamine-piperazine mixture under pressure at elevated temperature, by discharging the ethylenediamine at the top and the piperazine at the bottom of a distillation column.

Patent number: 6958397Abstract: The present invention describes a process for the preparation of triethylenediamine by reacting piperazine over a zeolite catalyst which, in addition to SiO2, contains an oxide of at least one further divalent, trivalent or tetravalent metal M, wherein the zeolite has a molar Si/M ratio of >100. In particular, a zeolite of the ZSM-5 type is used. The use of the zeolites permits suppression of the undesired formation of the byproduct 2-ethylpiperazine and hence considerable simplification of the working-up, in combination with high piperazine conversions and a small excess of water.Type: GrantFiled: July 4, 2002Date of Patent: October 25, 2005Assignee: BASF AGInventors: Matthias Frauenkron, Bernd Stein, Ortmund Lang
