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.
