Definitions

  • IPDA Manufacture of IPDA to obtain a high product yield of IPDA.
  • IPDA having a high isomer ratio of cis-lPDA to trans-lPDA.
  • IPDA with a high cis-trans-ratio (CTR) of 75:25 and more are preferred in applications, which require a short pot-life and a short curing temperature. This is the case in most epoxy and PUR-applications. IPDA with a high CTR is therefore commercially preferred. Some customers specify a CTR of >75:25 for their applications.
  • WO2012126956 discloses the hydrogenation of IPNI and/or IPN in a fixed-bed hydrogenation reactor in which the cross-sectional loading, based on the liquid phase passing through the reactor, is in the range of 5 kg/(m 2 s) to 50 kg/(m 2 s).
  • the high cross-sectional loading is achieved by utilizing reactors with a slim design, i.e. , reactors in which the ratio of height to diameter of the reactor is in the range of 1 :1 to 500:1.
  • the high cross-sectional loading is achieved by recycling a part of the product stream from the hydrogenation reactor.
  • the ratio of the recycling stream to the feed stream is in the range of 0.5:1 to 250:1.
  • a main difference between operating reactors with a different cross-sectional loading is the degree of back-mixing which may occur in the reactors because of the degree of cross-sectional loading in the reactor.
  • the flow characteristic of the feed stream is expected to trend toward the flow characteristic of a continuously stirred tank reactor (CSTR).
  • CSTR continuously stirred tank reactor
  • the flow characteristic of the feed stream is expected to trend toward the flow characteristic of a plug-flow reactor.
  • Back-mixing broadens the residence time distribution of volume elements within a reactor and leads to a more even temperature profile along the axis of the reactor, resulting in a more isothermal profile.
  • Plug-flow with little or no back-mixing results in a narrow residence time distribution and a temperature profile with a temperature maximum between the inlet and the outlet of the reactor.
  • a fixed bed reactor operated with a high cross-sectional loading and a broader residence time distribution is expected to have a lower degree of conversion of IPNI and partially hydrogenated IPNA, resulting in lower yields of IPDA and higher concentrations of IPNI and IPNA.
  • IPDA having a high isomer ratio of cis-lPDA to trans-lPDA.
  • WO2012126956 discloses a recycling stream from the second to the first hydrogenation reactor.
  • WO2012126956 does not disclose a second hydrogenation reactor or a series of hydrogenation reactors downstream of where the recycle stream from the first reactor or first series of reactors branches off.
  • EP3406589 discloses that that the hydrogenation is preferably carried out in a reactor where the educts pass through the reactor in a single pass, i.e. without recycling the effluent from the hydrogenation reactor to the feed.
  • the process for the manufacture of IPDA comprises a second hydrogenation reactor or a second series of hydrogenation reactors which are located downstream of where the recycle stream from the first hydrogenation reactor or the first series of hydrogenation reactors to the feed of the first hydrogenation reactor or the first series of hydrogenation reactors branches off.
  • the process according to the invention has the following advantages: the first hydrogenation reactor or the first series of hydrogenation reactors can be operated with a higher cross-sectional loading. This higher cross-sectional loading results in a more homogeneous temperature profile in the reactors. Hotspot formation may be significantly reduced. The avoidance of hotspots potentially results in fewer side products, increasing the selectivity and yield of IPDA. In addition, lower temperatures favor a high CTR, which is often desired in IPDA production.
  • ammonia can be recycled to the reactor.
  • the ammonia load to the downstream IPDA refining section, where hydrogen, ammonia and side products are separated can be reduced by the recycle stream.
  • the temperature of the recycle stream may be increased when two or two series of hydrogenation reactors are used. It was found that the hydrogen solubility was increased with increasing temperature. A higher hydrogen solubility in the liquid phase generally results in higher conversion rates and reduced side product formation.
  • the second hydrogenation reactor or the second series of hydrogenation reactors can be operated with a lower cross-sectional loading. Thus, the residence time in the reactors can be increased, which generally leads to higher conversions. coupling a first hydrogenation reactor or a first series of hydrogenation reactors with a second or a second series of hydrogenation reactors according to the invention was also surprisingly found to reduce the overall energy duty required for the operation of the thermal equipment. the equipment for cooling and separating the liquid and the gas phase in the downstream process after the last hydrogenation step can be designed with smaller dimensions.
  • IPNI and/or IPN is hydrogenated to IPDA.
  • the process according to the invention comprises the step a) of a) feeding a stream comprising IPNI and/or IPN to a first hydrogenation reactor or a first series of hydrogenation reactors.

  • hydrogen is added after the imination step. It is however possible, that hydrogen is added prior to the imination step because the imination is usually carried out in the presence of catalysts which do not catalyse the hydrogenation of the imine or nitrile group.
  • the temperature during the hydrogenation is usually in the range of 40 to 200°C, preferably 50 to 150°C, more preferably 60 to 140°C and most preferably 60 to 130°C and a pressure of 50 to 300 bar, preferably 100 to 250 bar and more preferably 150 to 220 bar.

  • the precipitation step may also be conducted without the presence of support materials.
  • the hydrogenation catalyst may be produced by impregnation of a catalyst support with soluble salts of the metals.
  • the metal-oxides catalysts are usually reduced in the presence of hydrogen prior to their use in the hydrogenation step.
  • the reduced catalysts may be passivated by subjecting the reduced catalysts to an oxygen comprising gas in order to form a passivating and protective oxide layer which allows for safe handling and storage.
  • the passivated catalysts may be reduced or activated prior to their use in the hydrogenation step. Activation and reduction of the metal oxide catalyst is preferably performed in the same reactor, in which the hydrogenation IPNI is performed.
