Abstract:
The present invention relates to 2,6-bis(aminomethyl)piperidine derivatives as such (in the following text abbreviated to “2,6-BAMP derivatives”) which are defined by the general formula (I) shown in the following text. In addition, the present invention relates to a process for preparing such 2,6-BAMP derivatives by hydrogenation of the corresponding 2,6-dicyanopiperidine derivatives (hereinafter abbreviated to “2,6-DCP derivatives”) in the presence of a catalyst. The present invention further provides for the use of the 2,6-BAMP derivatives of the invention as hardeners for epoxy resins, as intermediate in the preparation of diisocyanates, which play an important role in the production of polyurethanes, as starters in the preparation of polyetherols and/or as monomers for polyamide production. The present invention further relates to the diisocyanates as such prepared from the 2,6-BAMP derivatives and also the corresponding preparative process.
Abstract:
A process is proposed for the preparation of a powder comprising one or more derivatives of glycine-N,N-diacetic acid and/or one or more derivatives of glutamine-N,N-diacetic acid with a degree of crystallinity of a ≧30%, starting from an aqueous solution comprising the one or more derivatives of glycine-N,N-diacetic acid and/or the one or more derivatives of glutamine-N,N-diacetic acid in a concentration range from 20 to 60% by weight, based on the total weight of the aqueous solution, where the aqueous solution is concentrated in a first process step in an evaporator with rotating internals, which are arranged at a distance relative to the inside wall of the evaporator of ≦1% of the diameter of the evaporator, to give a crystal slurry with a solids concentration in the range from 60 to 85% by weight, based on the total weight of the crystal slurry, and where in a second process step the crystal slurry is left to ripen in a paste bunker and then in a thin-film contact dryer, and where the residence time in the paste bunker and in the thin-film contact dryer is in total a ≧15 minutes.
