NICKEL-BASED DUAL CATALYST SYSTEMS EFFECTIVE IN SUPPRESSING CARBON DIOXIDE FORMATION DURING DIETHYLENE GLYCOL AMINATION

摘要

NICKEL-BASED DUAL CATALYST SYSTEMS EFFECTIVE SUPPRESSING CARBON DIOXIDE FORMATION DURING DIETHYLENE GLYCOL AMINATION (D#80,986-F) Disclosed is a process for simultaneously producing morpholine and DIGLYCOLAMINE? amine while suppressing CO2 formation comprising the steps of: reacting anhydrous diethylene glycol with ammonia in the presence of added hydrogen over a dual nickel/ruthenium catalyst system comprising a nickel-based catalyst plus a supported ruthenium catalyst, and isolating said morpholine compound and said DIGLYCOLAMINE? amine compound from the reaction products.
