Patent number: 9828329Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for purifying ethylenediamine (EDA) by distillation, wherein the process comprises the steps a) and b). In step a), a mixture (G1) comprising water, EDA and N-methylethylenediamine (N-MeEDA) is fed into a distillation apparatus (D1), and the major part of the water comprised in the mixture (G1) is separated off overhead at a pressure of greater than 4.8 bara. From the bottom of (D1), the water-enriched mixture (G2) is fed into a distillation apparatus (D2) in step b). At the top of (D2), the major part of the N-MeEDA is distilled off. The stream (S3) obtained from the bottom of (D2) comprises EDA, with the components water and N-MeEDA comprised in the mixture (G1) having been largely or completely removed. Further distillation steps can optionally be carried out in order to obtain pure EDA, for example when diethylenetriamine (DETA) is additionally comprised in the mixture (G1).Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2015Date of Patent: November 28, 2017Assignee: BASF SEInventors: Hermann Luyken, Stephanie Jaegli, Michael Lorenz, Gordon Brasche, Markus Jegelka, Barbara Becker, Robert Baumann, Johann-Peter Melder, Boris Buschhaus, Thomas Krug

Patent number: 8952156Abstract: A process is disclosed for separating the output from the reaction of EDDN or EDMN with hydrogen in the presence of THF, a catalyst, TETA or DETA, water, and optionally organic compounds having higher and lower boiling points than TETA or DETA. Hydrogen is removed, and the output is supplied to a distillation column DK1 in which an azeotrope, optionally comprising organic compounds with a boiling point lower than TETA or DETA, is removed from the top. A product comprising TETA or DETA is removed from the bottom and passed into a distillation column DK2, removing THF. A stream comprising TETA or DETA passes from the bottom of DK2. The DK1 azeotrope is condensed. Phase separation is induced by the addition of an organic solvent essentially immiscible with water, and the mixture is separated. The organic phase is recycled into DK1 and the water phase is discharged.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2012Date of Patent: February 10, 2015Assignee: BASF SEInventors: Hermann Luyken, Sebastian Ahrens, Gordon Brasche, Jens Baldamus, Robert Baumann, Randolf Hugo, Stephanie Jaegli, Johann-Peter Melder, Jörg Pastre, Boris Buschhaus
