SELECTIVE PRODUCTION OF HIGHER POLYALKYLENE POLYAMINES AND HYDROXYL-CONTAINING POLYALKYLENE POLYAMINES

摘要

This invention relates to a process for making amines having a high yield weight percent of higher polyalkylene polyamines (HPA) and hydroxyl-containing polyalkylene polyamines (HCPA) by condensing an amino compound in the presence of a condensation catalyst selected from a Group IVB metal oxide, a Group VIB metal-containing substance and a promoted condensation catalyst. This invention also relates to an alkyleneamines producers composition rich in HPA and HCPA.
