  • Patent number: 8759591
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for intermittently producing 4,4?-diaminodicyclohexyl methane (H12MDA) with a low amount of the trans-trans isomer thereof, which comprises: controlling the reaction process by stopping the reaction when, except for a solvent, the reaction solution comprises MDA of 0-5 wt % and H6MDA of 1-20 wt %; and b) separating the reaction solution obtained from step a) by conventional means to obtain H12MDA product with desired purity, and allowing the un-reacted material and intermediate product to be recycled to the reactor after being accumulated. The method of the present invention decreases the amount of the trans-trans isomer in H12MDA, increases the yield of the reaction, and reduces the production cost. The present invention also provides a post treatment process of the reaction mixture.

  • Publication number: 20140142341
    Abstract: Provided is a 3-aminomethyl-3,5,5-trimethylcyclohexylamine preparation method. A feeding flow of 3-cyano-3,5,5-trimethylcyclohexylimine is reacted with NH3 and hydrogen in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst; the method is characterized by: firstly adding a basic compound to the feeding flow of 3-cyano-3,5,5-trimethylcyclohexylimine, and then after a portion of 3-cyano-3,5,5-trimethylcyclohexylimine has reacted, adding an acidic compound to reaction materials for further hydrogenation reaction to prepare the product. The method ensures that the aminonitrile content in the product is low, thus effectively reducing the duration of the reaction and greatly reducing the consumption of the catalyst during the hydrogenation reaction process.

  • Publication number: 20140018232
    Abstract: The invention relates to a catalyst for selective synthesis of high-quality gasoline fractions from syngas and the preparation method of the catalyst. This catalyst consists of cobalt, a promoter and molecular sieve, wherein cobalt is presented in an amount of 1-30%, the promoter is represented in an amount of 0.01-5% and the balance is molecular sieve based on the weight of the catalyst. This catalyst provides superior selectivity for C5-C11 isoparaffins and relatively lower selectivity for wax-type hydrocarbons with more than 20 carbon atoms. Thereof, this catalyst can be used for the synthesis of high-quality gasoline and is good at preventing catalyst coking. Besides, the invention provides a preparation method of the catalyst.

  • Patent number: 8206652
    Abstract: The present invention provides a flow duct type jet reactor and a process for preparing isocyanates using it. The flow duct type jet reactor situates flow ducts in inner feed pipe which form whirlpool and reinforce vortex, thereby amine steam rapidly admixes and reacts with phosgene, and the byproducts are reduced. In addition, the present process uses a jet-absorption apparatus which rapidly cools the high temperature gas discharged from the reactor to a temperature at which the product is thermally stable, and at the same time provides negative pressure for the reaction process of the system, and thus saving bulky vacuum system.
