  • Patent number: 10125089
    Abstract: Process for preparing isophoronediamine, characterized in that A) isophoronenitrile is subjected directly in one stage to aminating hydrogenation to give isophoronediamine in the presence of ammonia, hydrogen, a hydrogenation catalyst and possibly further additions, and in the presence or absence of organic solvents; or B) isophoronenitrile is first converted fully or partly in at least two or more than two stages to isophoronenitrile imine, and this isophoronenitrile imine is subjected to aminating hydrogenation to give isophoronediamine as a pure substance or in a mixture with other components and/or isophoronenitrile, in the presence of at least ammonia, hydrogen and a catalyst.

  • Patent number: 9937483
    Abstract: Isophoronediamine, is prepared by A) subjecting isophoronenitrile directly in one stage to aminating hydrogenation to give isophoronediamine in the presence of ammonia, hydrogen, a hydrogenation catalyst and an optional additive, and in the presence or absence of an organic solvent; or B) first converting isophoronenitrile fully or partly in at least two or more than two stages to isophoronenitrile imine, and subjecting the isophoronenitrile imine to aminating hydrogenation to give isophoronediamine as a pure substance or in a mixture with another component and/or isophoronenitrile, in the presence of at least ammonia, hydrogen and a catalyst.

  • Patent number: 6586543
    Abstract: The present invention provides a process for preparing a substantially amorphous poly-&agr;-olefin, which includes: a) preforming a solid catalyst and, optionally, a first amount of a trialkylaluminum cocatalyst, by contacting the catalyst and optionally the cocatalyst with at least one selected from the group including oxygen and a compound which includes active oxygen, to form a preformed catalyst, wherein the solid catalyst includes magnesium, aluminum and titanium, and wherein said trialkylaluminum cocatalyst includes 1 to 9 carbon atoms in each alkyl group; b) contacting the preformed catalyst with a second amount of the cocatalyst, wherein a molar ratio of trialkylaluminum to the titanium ranges from 40:1 to 700:1, to form a catalyst mixture; c) polymerizing, in the liquid phase, with the catalyst mixture, an olefin or an olefin mixture at a temperature between 30 and 160° C., to produce the poly-&agr;-olefin.
