Abstract: The present invention provides a process for hydrogenating aromatic nitro compounds to the corresponding amines in the presence of hydrogenation catalysts, which comprises using hydrogenation catalysts in which nickel and platinum are present on a support in the form of an alloy having an atomic ratio of nickel to platinum in the alloy of between 30:70 and 70:30.

Abstract: A catalyst comprising nickel on a TiO2 support is obtainable by coprecipitation of nickel and at least one further metal selected from among Si, Zr, Hf, alkaline earth metals, Y, La and Ce, and optionally at least one dopant metal selected from groups 5 to 11 of the Periodic Table of the Elements, from a solution in which the corresponding metal salts are present onto a particulate TiO2 support, subsequent drying, calcination and reduction and optionally passivation to give the nickel-containing catalyst. It is used, in particular, for the hydrogenation of nitroaromatic compounds.

Abstract: The invention provides a process for preparing amines by catalytic hydrogenation of nitroaromatics and subsequent removal of the catalysts from the reaction mixture, which contains at least one aromatic amine and water, which comprises carrying out the removal of the catalysts by means of membrane filtration, which is carried out at a pressure on the suspension side of from 5 to 50 bar, a pressure difference between the suspension side and the permeate side of at least 0.3 bar and a flux rate on the suspension side of from 1 to 6 m/s.

Abstract: A refillable distributing container for liquid media, particularly an aerosol can, has two valves, whereof an upper valve is constructed as the distributing valve (5) for exclusively distributing the container content. The second valve is constructed for filling the container both with liquid medium and with pressurized gas. The invention also relates to a filling device for refilling the distributing container and a process for the same. The filling device has a filling connection (9), which is connectable with the distributing container filling valve (8). The liquid is preferably forced in to the distributing container with the aid of the pressurized gas.
