Abstract: A process is provided for converting one or more cyclic ethylene ureas into corresponding ethylene amines and carbon dioxide. The process may include contacting water with one or more cyclic alkylene urea compounds comprising one or more cyclic alkylene urea moieties in a reaction vessel at a temperature of 150 to 400° C., optionally in the presence of an amine compound selected from the group of primary amines, cyclic secondary amines and bicyclic tertiary amines. The mole ratio of water to cyclic alkylene urea moieties is in the range of from about 0.1 to about 20. In the reaction, at least a portion of the cyclic alkylene urea moieties are converted to corresponding alkylenediamine moieties and carbon dioxide. The process may further include removing the carbon dioxide from the liquid reaction mixture in a stripping vessel by feeding a stripping fluid to the stripping vessel. Further, the process may include removing a carbon dioxide-containing stripping fluid.

Abstract: The invention pertains to a process for converting a feedstock comprising cyclic alkyleneureas into their corresponding alkyleneamines, comprising —a CO2 removal step in which cyclic alkyleneureas are converted into their corresponding alkyleneamines by reacting cyclic alkyleneureas in the liquid phase with water with removal of CO2, —an amine removal step wherein cyclic alkyleneureas are converted in a reactive separation process into their corresponding alkyleneamines by reaction with an amine compound selected from the group of primary amines or secondary amines which have a higher boiling point than the alkyleneamines formed during the process. It has been found that the combination of a CO2 removal step and an amine removal step makes it possible to convert alkyleneureas into the corresponding amines in an efficient manner in a high reaction rate.
