Abstract: The present invention describes a process for the parallel selective hydrogenation of branched and unbranched multiply unsaturated C4-C6-hydrocarbons in olefin-containing hydrocarbon mixtures with minimization of hydrogenation and isomerization of the olefins present in the stream.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for regenerating catalysts containing mixed oxides from the group of alkali metal and/or alkaline earth metal oxides, aluminium oxide and silicon oxide, characterized in that the regeneration comprises the following features: i) treatment of the catalyst in situ, ii) contacting of the catalyst with water, iii) treatment of the catalyst within a temperature range from 100 to 400° C., iv) treatment of the catalyst within a pressure range from 0.1 to 2 MPa, v) treatment of the catalyst over a period of 0.1 to 24 h, vi) treatment of the catalyst with a specific catalyst hourly space velocity of 0.1 to 100 h?1.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing isobutene by cracking MTBE, wherein the following steps are carried out: a) MTBE synthesis; reacting isobutene-containing hydrocarbon mixtures (II) with methanol (III), contained in one or more methanol-containing streams (VIII, IX), on acidic ion exchangers obtaining a stream (IV) containing MTBE and TBA, b) MTBE separation; separating a stream (V) containing MTBE and TBA from stream (IV) by means of distillation, c) MTBE cracking; cracking the stream (V) on a heterogenic catalyst in the gas phase, thus obtaining a stream (VI) which contains at least isobutene, methanol, MTBE, water, and optionally TBA, d) isobutene separation; separating the stream (VI) by means of distillation, thus obtaining a stream (VII) containing more than 50 mass % of the amounts of methanol, TBA, and water contained in stream (VI), and a stream (XVII) containing isobutene, e) water separation; separating, water from the stream (VII) to below 1 mass % by means of distillation, thus obta

Abstract: Process for telomerizing noncyclic olefins having at least two conjugated double bonds with at least one nucleophile using a catalyst containing a metal of group 8, 9 or 10 of the Periodic Table of the Elements, wherein the overall telomerization process has a process step of catalyst recycling, in which hydrogen is added via a hydrogen source to the mixture present in this process step.
