Development and testing of integrated reaction and catalyst separation for the homogeneously cata-lyzed reductive amination and hydraminomethylation of long-chain alkenes in a miniplant (D03*)

• Subject Area: Technical Chemistry
• Term: from 2018 to 2021
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 56091768

Making use of TMS and ONF for integrated catalyst recycling D3 N will realize the homogeneously catalyzed reductive amination (RA) and hydroaminomethylation (HAM) of long chain aldehydes and alkenes, respectively, in a continuously operated miniplant. Membrane-based separation concepts will also be developed and tested for the exclusion of water formed during the reaction. Long-term exper-imental investigations will be performed providing models suitable for process optimization in B9 N and D1 N. A non-invasive online measurement by in-situ IR spectroscopy will be developed to im-prove process insight and foster process control (D4 N).
