Patent number: 9624143Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing linear butenes from methanol. The problem addressed is that of specifying such a method in which the methanol used is converted, to the largest possible extent, into butenes. The problem is solved by combining a methanol-to-propylene process with a metathesis reaction by means of which the propene obtained from the methanol is converted into linear butenes.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2013Date of Patent: April 18, 2017Assignee: EVONIK DEGUSSA GmbHInventors: Markus Winterberg, Ted M Pettijohn, Stephen Bowers, Joerg Schallenberg, Shahbaz Naeem, Oliver Markus Busch

Publication number: 20160318829Abstract: The invention relates to a process for preparing 1,3-butadiene by heterogeneously catalysed oxidative dehydrogenation of n-butene, in which a butene mixture comprising at least 2-butene is provided. The problem that it addresses is that of specifying a process for economically viable preparation of 1,3-butadiene on the industrial scale, which is provided with a butene mixture as raw material, wherein the 1-butene content is comparatively low compared to the 2-butene content thereof, and in which the ratio of 1-butene to 2-butene is subject to variation. This problem is solved by a two-stage process in which, in a first stage, the butene mixture provided is subjected to a heterogeneously catalysed isomerization to obtain an at least partly isomerized butene mixture, and in which the at least partly isomerized butene mixture obtained in the first stage is then subjected, in a second stage, to oxidative dehydrogenation. The two-stage process leads to higher butadiene yields compared to the one-stage process.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 4, 2014Publication date: November 3, 2016Applicant: Evonik Degussa GmbHInventors: Felix GAERTNER, Guido STOCHNIOL, Joerg SCHALLENBERG, Horst-Werner ZANTHOFF, Oliver Markus BUSCH, Stephan PEITZ, Frank GEILEN, Arne REINSDORF, Natalya PRODAN

Patent number: 9260386Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the thioetherification of mercaptanes with polyunsaturated hydrocarbons, carried out in a reactor with the addition of hydrogen, using a heterogenic catalyst and in the presence of 1-butene. The aim of the invention is to develop such a method to the extent that the creation of value from the C4 raw material stream is increased. Said aim is achieved in that the hydrogen is added to the reaction in such a manner that the molar ratio of hydrogen to polyunsaturated hydrocarbons is no more than one.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2013Date of Patent: February 16, 2016Assignee: Evonik Industries AGInventors: Stephan Peitz, Markus Winterberg, Dietrich Maschmeyer, Frank Geilen, Reiner Bukohl, Joerg Schallenberg, Armin Rix, Andreas Wolff, Matthias Leipold
