Abstract: A process can prepare a 3-glycidyloxypropylalkoxysilane of formula (I), (R?)O—(CH2)3—Si(OR)3 (I), where R groups are independently a methyl or ethyl group and R? represents an H2C(O)CHCH2— group. The process includes reacting (i) a functionalized alkene of formula (II), (R?)O—C3H5 (II), where R? represents an H2C(O)CHCH2— group, with (ii) at least one hydroalkoxysilane of formula (III), HSi(OR)3 (III), where R groups are independently a methyl or ethyl group. The reacting takes place in the presence of (iii) a Karstedt catalyst or a catalyst having hexachloroplatinic acid as a homogeneous catalyst, and (iv) 2-ethylhexanoic acid, isononanoic acid, or both. The process further includes obtaining a product of the reacting.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing alcohols by homogeneously catalyzed hydroformylation of olefins to aldehydes and subsequent hydration of the aldehydes. The invention further relates to a system for carrying out the method. The main focus is on the separation technique for work-up of the hydroformylation mixture. The problem addressed by the invention is that specifying a work-up method for hydroformylation mixtures that utilizes the specific advantages of known separation technologies but at the same time largely avoids the specific disadvantages of said separation technologies. The most important objective is to create a catalyst separation system that is as complete and at the same time conservative as possible and that operates in a technically reliable manner and entails low investment and operating costs. The method should be unrestrictedly suitable for processing the reaction output from oxo systems in “world scale” format.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for separating a homogeneous catalyst out of a reaction mixture by means of at least one membrane separation unit, in which method: the reaction mixture coming from a reaction zone and containing the homogeneous catalyst is applied as a feed to the membrane separation unit; the homogeneous catalyst is depleted in the permeate of the membrane separation unit and enriched in the retentate of the membrane separation unit; and the retentate of the membrane separation unit is recirculated into the reaction zone. The invention addresses the problem of specifying a method for separating homogeneous catalyst out of reaction mixtures that simplifies the feeding of fresh catalyst into the reaction zone and avoids disruptions to the hydrodynamics within the reaction zone when the volumetric flow of the reaction mixture output from the reaction zone varies.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process and to an apparatus for preparing polyether alcohols by alkoxylating alcohols, and also long-chain polyether alcohols having a narrow product distribution. The process is preferably carried out continuously in the liquid phase in a microstructured reactor. An alkylene oxide or different alkylene oxides are metered at one or more points into the channels of the microreactor. The channels are cooled with the aid of a cooling medium or heated with the aid of a heating medium.

Abstract: A process for the selective catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides with ammonia in a lean-mix exhaust gas from a combustion process operated with a first, lean-mix air/fuel mixture, wherein the ammonia required for selective reduction is obtained from a second, rich-mix air/fuel mixture which contains nitrogen monoxide by reduction of the nitrogen monoxide in a NH3 synthesis step to give ammonia with the formation of a product gas stream, and where the nitrogen monoxide-containing second air/fuel mixture is supplied to the NH3 synthesis step for reduction of the nitrogen monoxide to ammonia over a three-way converter catalyst and the ammonia formed is separated from the product gas stream and is stored in a storage medium for use as and when required for selective catalytic reduction.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the selective catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides using ammonia in the poor exhaust gas from a combustion process which is carried out on a first poor air/fuel mixture. The ammonia necessary for the selective reduction is obtained from a second, rich air/fuel mixture containing nitrogen monoxide, by reducing the nitrogen monoxide to ammonia, in one NH3-synthesis step, forming a product gas flow. The ammonia formed is separated from the product gas flow and is stored in a storage medium to be used if needed in the selective catalytic reduction.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for carrying out the selective catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides with ammonia in the lean exhaust gas of a combustion process executed using a first lean air/fuel mixture. According to the invention, the ammonia required for the selective reduction is obtained from a second rich air/fuel mixture, which contains nitrogen monoxide, by reducing the nitrogen monoxide in a NH3 synthesis stage to ammonia while forming a product gas stream. The ammonia produced thereby is separated out from the product gas stream and is stored in a storage medium for the requirement-orientated use during the selective catalytic reduction.
