The invention relates to a conjugated process for the production of nitriles and/or of fatty amines and of polyol carbonates from a natural oil, comprising the following zones: I) zone of methanolysis or hydrolysis of a natural oil containing a triglyceride of at least one saturated or unsaturated fatty acid, producing, on the one hand, the methanolate of the fatty acid or the fatty acid and, on the other hand, glycerol, II) zone of synthesis of a fatty amine comprising the following steps: a) optional conversion, first of all, of the fatty acid methanolate to a fatty acid by hydrolysis of the ester derived from step I), followed in b) by an ammoniation reaction, with ammonia, of the acid or of the fatty acid methanolate derived from zone I or of the acid derived from step a), so as to form a nitrile, and then in c) by reduction, with hydrogen, of the compound resulting from step b), optionally in the presence of ammonia, so as to obtain the corresponding amine, III) zone of synthesis of a polyol carbonate by reaction of urea, either directly with glycerol, or with a diol obtained by reduction of glycerol by hydrogenation, wherein the reaction of the polyol with urea produces ammonia, IV) zone of recovery of the ammonia derived from zone III, and also that derived from zone Nb where the reaction is carried out with an excess of ammonia, and optionally that derived from zone Nc, so as to act as feed for the ammoniation of step b) in zone II and, optionally, the hydrogenation of step c) in zone II. |
