BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
1. Technical Field
This invention relates to a process for making amines by condensing an amino compound in the presence of a metallic polyphosphate condensation catalyst having a condensed structure.
This invention also relates to an alkyleneamines producers composition rich in higher polyalkylene polyamines such as triethylenetetramine (TETA), tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA) and pentaethylenehexamine (PEHA).
2. Background of the Invention
There is a substantial body of literature directed to the use of various acid catalysts to effect intramolecular and intermolecular condensation of amino compounds. U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,073,671 and 2,467,205 constitute early prior work on the use of acid condensation catalysts to condense amino compounds. U.S. Pat. No. 2,073,671 discusses, in a general fashion, the catalytic intermolecular condensation of alcohols and amines or ammonia using the same phosphate catalysts later favored by U.S. Pat. No. 2,467,205 for the intramolecular condensation of amines. The two patents are not in harmony over the use of other materials as catalysts. To illustrate this point, U.S. Pat. No. 2,073,671 states:
"Alumina, thoria, blue oxide of tungsten, titania, chromic oxide, blue oxide of molybdenum and zirconia have been mentioned in the literature for use as catalysts in carrying out these reactions but their effectiveness is so low that no practical application has been made of their use." whereas U.S. Pat. No. 2,467,205 in describing the self condensation of ethylenediamine (EDA) under vapor phase conditions, to initially produce ethyleneamines, but after recycle, eventually generates piperazine through multistep condensation reactions, followed by deamination, recommends "dehydration catalysts" which are thereafter characterized as
"silica gel, titania gel, alumina, thoria, boron phosphate, aluminum phosphate, and the like."
U.S. Pat. No 2,073,671 describes the condensation catalyst in the following terms:
". . . a heated catalyst or contact mass containing phosphorus and especially one or more of the oxygen acids of phosphorus, their anhydrides, their polymers, and their salts; for example, orthophosphoric acid, metaphosphoric acid, pyrophosphoric acid, phosphorous pentoxide, dimetaphosphoric acid, trimetaphosphoric acid, primary ammonium phosphate, secondary ammonium phosphate, normal ammonium phosphate, ammonium metaphosphate, secondary ammonium pyrophosphate, normal ammonium pyrophosphate, aluminum phosphate, aluminum acid phosphate and mixtures of two or more of such materials."
whereas U.S. Pat. No. 2,467,205 describes one of the preferred catalysts as "basic aluminum phosphate".
U.S. Pat. No. 2,454,404 describes the "catalytic deamination of alkylene polyamines" by reacting diethylenetriamine (DETA) vapor over solid catalysts such as activated alumina, bauxite, certain aluminum silicates such as kaolin and oxides of thorium, titanium and zirconium.
U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,073,671 and 2,467,205 demonstrate a common experience in using aluminum phosphate as a condensation catalyst to produce aliphatic amines, and U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,454,404 and 2,467,205 contemplate the other solid catalysts for deamination of amines to make heterocyclic noncyclic amines. In general, the reaction conditions under which deamination to effect cyclization occurs are more severe than those employed for condensation to generate noncyclic molecules, all other factors being comparable.
U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,540,822, 4,584,406 and 4,588,842 depict the use of Group IVB metal oxides as supports for phosphorus catalysts used to effect the condensation of amino compounds with alkanolamines.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,683,335 describes the use of tungstophosphoric acid, molybdophosphoric acid or mixtures deposited on titania as catalysts for the condensation of amines and alkanolamines to make polyalkylenepolyamines.
U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,314,083, 4,316,840, 4,362,886 and 4,394,524 disclose the use of certain metal sulfates as useful catalysts for the condensation of alkanolamine and an amino compound. No distinction is made between the sulfur compounds in respect to catalytic efficacy. Sulfuric acid is as good as any metal sulfate, and all metal sulfates are treated as equivalents. At column 8 of U.S. Pat. No. 4,314,083, it is noted that boron sulfate "gave extremely high selectivity at a low level" of EDA. However, selectivity in general was shown to increase with an increase of EDA relative to MEA in the feed. The only specific metal sulfate disclosed in the patents are antimony sulfate, beryllium sulfate, iron sulfate and aluminum sulfate.
In the typical case of the manufacture of alkyleneamines, mixtures with other alkyleneamines (including a variety of polyalkylenepolyamines and cyclic alkylenepolyamines) are formed. The same holds true when the object of the process is to produce polyalkylenepolyamines whether acyclic or cyclic, in that a variety of amino compounds are also formed. Each of these cyclic and acyclic alkyleneamines can be isolated from the mixture.
The acid catalyzed condensation reaction involving the reaction of an alkanolamine with an amino compound in the presence of an acidic catalyst is believed to proceed through the mechanism of esterifying free surface hydroxyl groups on the acid catalyst with the alkanolamine and/or by protonating the alkanolamine in the presence of the acid catalyst, followed by loss of water and amine condensation of the ester or the hydrated species, as the case may be, to form the alkyleneamine. Illustrative prior art directed primarily to the cyclic polyalkylenepolyamines (heterocyclic polyamines), but not necessarily limited to the aforementioned acid condensation reaction, are: U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,937,176, 2,977,363, 2,977,364, 2,985,658, 3,056,788, 3,231,573, 3,167,555, 3,242,183, 3,297,701, 3,172,891, 3,369,019, 3,342,820, 3,956,329, 4,017,494, 4,092,316, 4,182,864, 4,405,784 and 4,514,567; European Patent Applications 0 069 322, 0 111 928 and 0 158 319; East German Patent No. 206,896; Japanese Patent Publication No. 51-141895; and French Patent No. 1,381,243. The evolution of the art to the use of the acid catalyzed condensation reaction to generate acyclic alkyleneamines, particularly acyclic polyalkylenepolyamines, as the predominant products stemmed from the initial disclosure in U.S. Pat. No. 4,036,881, though earlier patent literature fairly well characterized such an effect without labeling it so, see U.S. Pat. No. 2,467,205, supra. The acid catalysts are phosphorus compounds and the reaction is carried out in the liquid phase. The trend in this catalyst direction was early set as demonstrated by U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,073,671 and 2,467,205, supra. A modification of this route includes the addition of ammonia to the reaction, see, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,394,524 and 4,463,193 for the purpose of converting alkanolamine such as MEA in situ to alkylene amine such as EDA by reaction with ammonia, and the EDA is in situ reacted with MEA according to the process of U.S. Pat. No. 4,036,881 to form alkyleneamines.
A summary of the prior art employing acid catalysts for making alkyleneamines is set forth in Table 1 below.

The market demand for higher polyalkylene polyamines such as TETA, TEPA and PEHA has been progressively increasing in recent years. These higher polyalkylene polyamines are desirable co-products with DETA. It would be desirable to satisfy the existing demand from a cost standpoint by modifying slightly the commercial processes directed to the manufacture of DETA from the reaction of MEA and EDA or other suitable starting raw materials such as DETA and AEEA, to the production of TETA, TEPA and PEHA as major products.
It would be desirable to have continuously produced compositions, generated by the reaction of MEA and EDA or other suitable starting raw materials such as DETA and AEEA over a fixed bed of a condensation catalyst under commercial conditions, that are rich in TETA, TEPA and PEHA, and that are not disproporationately high in PIP and other cyclics.
It would be very beneficial to have a process which increases one's ability to generate the manufacture of desirable higher polyalkylene polyamine products such as TETA, TEPA and PEHA without generating large amounts of cyclic alkylenepolyamine products. In addition, it would also be desirable to have a process with raw material flexibility which provides the potential to control congener distribution, linear to cyclic selectivity and linear to branched selectivity of the higher polyalkylene polyamines products. As used herein, congener distribution refers to polyalkylene polyamines containing the same number of nitrogen atoms but not necessarily having the same molecular weight or structure.
The above features are provided by this invention.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates in general to a process of making amines which comprises condensing an amino compound in the presence of a metallic polyphosphate condensation catalyst having a condensed structure. The metallic polyphosphate condensation catalysts used herein contain sufficient residual bound hydroxyl groups or other groupings which renders catalyst formation possible by loss of water or its chemical equivalent such as ammonium hydroxide.
More particularly, this invention relates to a process of making amines by the (i) intramolecular condensation of an amino compound to an amine having a lower molecular weight or (ii) the intermolecular condensation of an amino compound with one or more of another amino compound or a compound containing an alcoholic hydroxyl group using certain metallic polyphosphates having a condensed structure as the condensation catalyst. A preferred process involves the manufacture of alkyleneamines, most desirably higher polyalkylene polyamines, by such condensation reactions utilizing disodium dihydrogen pyrophosphate or sodium trimetaphosphate as the condensation catalyst.
The invention further relates to a continuously generated alkyleneamines producers composition comprising, based on 100 percent of the weight of the composition and exclusive of any water and/or ammonia present,
(a) greater than about 3.0 weight percent of the combination of TETA and TEPA,
(b) greater than about 0.1 weight percent of TEPA,
(c) greater than about 3.0 weight percent of TETA,
(d) less than about 90.0 weight percent of DETA and/or EDA,
(e) less than about 90 0 weight percent of MEA and/or AEEA,
(f) less than about 12.5 weight percent of the combination of PIP and AEP,
(g) less than about 15.0 weight percent of other polyalkylene polyamines,
(h) a TETA+TAEA to PIP+AEP+PEEDA+DAEP+DPE weight ratio of greater than about 1.0,
(i) a TEPA+AETAEA to PIP+AEP+PEEDA+DAEP+DEP+AEPEEDA+iAEPEEDA+AEDAEP+AEDPE+BPEA weight ratio of greater than about 0.5,
(j) a TETA to TAEA weight ratio of greater than about 2.0, and
(k) a TEPA to AETAEA weight ratio of greater than about 1.0.
As used herein, the term "amino compound"embraces ammonia and any compound containing nitrogen to which is bonded an active hydrogen. Also, as used herein, the term "oxide" embraces oxides, hydroxides and/or mixtures thereof.
For purposes of this invention, the chemical elements are identified in accordance with the Periodic Table of the Elements, CAS version, Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, 67th Ed., 1986-87, inside cover. Also, for purposes of this invention, Group IIIB metal oxides embraces the lanthanides and actinides.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The higher polyalkylene polyamines such as TETA, TEPA and PEHA are very useful commercial products for a variety of applications including fuel oil additives, corrosion inhibitors, fabric softeners, fungicides and others. As indicated above, there is lacking a commercial process for the manufacture of enhanced quantities of TETA, TEPA and PEHA especially as significant products of reaction. There is thus a need for the ability to commercially generate larger production quantities of TETA, TEPA and PEHA and that is the direction of this invention. The process of this invention provides for the reaction of MEA and DETA or other suitable starting raw materials such as EDA and AEEA to produce in a continuous manner a reaction product mixture, termed herein an "alkyleneamines producers composition", in which TETA, TEPA and PEHA are principal products of the reaction.
The process of this invention is distinctive insofar as it achieves the generation of high concentrations of TETA, TEPA and PEHA in a manner which can be suitably employed in a commercial process, particularly a continuous process, for the manufacture of alkyleneamines. In particular, the process of this invention allows the production of TETA, TEPA and PEHA in relatively high yields without generating large amounts of cyclic polyalkylene polyamine products. The process of this invention provides starting raw material flexibility thereby allowing the potential to control congener distribution, linear to cyclic selectivity and linear to branched selectivity of the higher polyalkylene polyamine products.
As indicated above, this invention relates to a process of making amines which comprises condensing an amino compound in the presence of a metallic polyphosphate condensation catalyst having a condensed structure.
As also indicated above, this invention relates to a continuously generated alkyleneamines producers composition comprising, based on 100 percent of the weight of the composition and exclusive of any water and/or ammonia present,
(a) greater than about 3.0 weight percent of the combination of TETA and TEPA,
(b) greater than about 0.1 weight percent of TEPA,
(c) greater than about 3.0 weight percent of TETA,
(d) less than about 90.0 weight percent of DETA and/or EDA,
(e) less than about 90.0 weight percent of MEA and/or AEEA,
(f) less than about 12.5 weight percent of the combination of PIP and AEP,
(g) less than about 15.0 weight percent of other polyalkylene polyamines,
(h) a TETA+TAEA to PIP+AEP+PEEDA+DAEP+DPE weight ratio of greater than about 1.0,
(i) a TEPA+AETAEA to PIP+AEP+PEEDA+DAEP+DEP+AEPEEDA+iAEPEEDA+AEDAEP+AEDPE+BPEA weight ratio of greater than about 0.5,
(j) a TETA to TAEA weight ratio of greater than about 2.0, and
(k) a TEPA to AETAEA weight ratio of greater than about 1.0.
The alkyleneamines producers composition of this invention can be subjected to conventional separations techniques for recovering the individual components of the composition. Such techniques are well known in the art and include, for example, distillation.
This invention contemplates the catalyzed condensation by (i) intramolecular condensation of an amino compound to an amine having a lower molecular weight, and (ii) intermolecular condensation of an amino compound with one or more of another amino compound or a compound containing an alcohol hydroxyl group to an amine having a lower, same or higher molecular weight than the reactants, in the presence of a metallic polyphosphate condensation catalyst having a condensed structure. The metallic polyphosphate condensation catalysts can be cyclic or acyclic and comprise structural units of the formula: ##STR1## wherein M is the same or different and is a substantially insoluble cation, X is the same or different and is oxygen, nitrogen or sulfur, and y is a value of from 1 to about 20 or greater. The preferred metallic polyphosphate condensation catalysts have a cyclic structure and ionic character and/or ion exchange capacity.
While not wishing to be bound to any particular theory, it is believed that those metallic polyphosphates encompassed within the scope of this invention having a cyclic structure and possessing ionic character and/or ion exchange capacity exhibit desired catalytic activity and provide desired product selectivity. While the reaction mixture may initially include one or more metallic polyphosphates other than metallic polyphosphates having a cyclic structure and possessing ionic character and/or ion exchange capacity, it is believed to be desirable that such metallic polyphosphates having a cyclic structure and possessing ionic character and/or ion exchange capacity be formed in situ in order to provide desired catalytic activity and product selectivity. In such instances, the catalyst preparation conditions or reaction conditions should allow for the formation of metallic polyphosphates having a cyclic structure and possessing ionic character and/or ion exchange capacity. Mixtures of metallic polyphosphates having a cyclic structure and possessing ionic character and/or ion exchange capacity with metallic polyphosphates having other than a cyclic structure and other than ionic character and/or ion exchange capacity are believed to exhibit desired catalytic activity and provide desired product selectivity.
In accordance with this invention, the metallic polyphosphate condensation catalyst has a condensed structure. The metallic polyphosphate condensation catalyst can include, for example, metallic pyrophosphates (P.sub.2 O.sub.7 .sup.-4), metallic polyphosphates (including tripolyphosphates (P.sub.3 O.sub.10 .sup.-5), tetrapolyphosphates (P.sub.4 O.sub.13 .sup.-6), pentapolyphosphates (P.sub.5 O.sub.16 .sup.-7) and higher polyphosphates), metallic metaphosphates (including trimetaphosphates (P.sub.3 O.sub.9 .sup.-3), tetrametaphosphates (P.sub.4 O.sub.12 .sup.-4) and other lower and higher metaphosphates) and metallic ultraphosphates (condensed phosphates containing more P.sub.2 O.sub.5 than corresponds to the metaphosphate structure). Corresponding metallic metaphosphimates, metallic phosphoramidates and metallic amido- and imidophosphates of the above may also be used as condensation catalysts in accordance with this invention. Suitable metals which can be incorporated into the metallic polyphosphate condensation catalyst include, for example, Group IA metals, Group IIA metals, Group IIIB metals, Group IVB metals, Group VB metals, Group VIB metals, Group VIIB metals, Group VIII metals, Group IB metals, Group IIB metals, Group IIIA metals, Group IVA metals, Group VA metals, Group VIA metals and mixtures thereof.

R., Phosphorus and Its Compounds, Vol. 1, Interscience Publishers, Inc., New York (1958).
The metallic polyphosphate condensation catalysts can be prepared by conventional methods known in the art. Sodium is believed to be one of a small group of cations effective for stabilizing six membered cyclic metaphosphates at their temperatures of fusion (about 625.degree. C.) without decomposition to linear and/or other condensed phosphates including mixtures. The formation of cyclic and acyclic metallic polyphosphate structures appears to depend on the cation ionic size, the coordination number of the cation and the ionic or covalent nature of the metal oxygen bond.
The level of activity of the metallic polyphosphate catalyst of the invention is that level which of itself makes the catalyst at least as active in the condensation of amines as, for example, is phosphoric acid on an equivalent basis. Preferably, supported metallic polyphosphate condensation catalysts should have a surface area greater than about 70 m.sup.2 /gm to as high as about 260 m.sup.2 /gm or greater depending upon which metal oxide described below that is employed. In the case of titanium oxides, the surface area should be greater than about 140 m.sup.2 /gm to as high as about 260 m.sup.2 /gm, more preferably, greater than about 160 m.sup.2 /gm to as high as about 260 m.sup.2 /gm, determined according to the single point N.sub.2 method. In the case of zirconia oxides, the surface area should be
greater than about 70 m.sup.2 /gm to as high as about 150 m.sup.2 /gm, more preferably, greater than about 90 m.sup.2 /gm to as high as about 135 m.sup.2 /gm, determined according to the single point N.sub.2 method. It is appreciated that the metal oxides described below which can be used in association with the metallic polyphosphate condensation catalyst and the performance moderators described below can affect the surface area of the metallic polyphosphate condensation catalyst. While surface areas described above may be preferred, for purposes of this invention, the surface area of the metallic polyphosphate condensation catalyst should be sufficient to contribute to product selectivity, catalytic activity and/or mechanical or dimensional strength of the catalyst.
The metallic polyphosphate condenation catalysts useful in this invention can be associated with one or more metal oxides. Preferred metal oxides are amphoteric or slightly acidic or slightly basic. Illustrative of such metal oxides which may be utilized in association with the metallic phosphate condensation catalyst include, for example, one or more of the following: Group IA metal oxides, Group IIA metal oxides, Group IIIB metal oxides (including lanthanides and actinides), Group VB metal oxides, Group VIB metal oxides, Group VIIB metal oxides, Group VIII metal oxides, Group IB metal oxides, Group IIB metal oxides, Group IIIA metal oxides, Group IVA metal oxides, Group VA metal oxides, Group VIA metal oxides and Group IVB metal oxides or mixtures thereof. Preferred metal oxides which may be utilized in association with the metallic polyphosphate condensation catalyst include, for example, one or more oxides of beryllium, scandium, yttrium, terbium, dysprosium, holmium, erbium, thulium, ytterbium, lutetium, titanium, zirconium, hafnium, vanadium, niobium, tantalum, tungsten, iron, cobalt, zinc, silver, aluminum, gallium, indium, silicon, germanium, tin, lead, arsenic, antimony and bismuth.
Group IVA and IVB metal oxides such as silica, titanium dioxide and zirconium dioxide are preferred for use in this invention. For mixed metal oxides in which at least one of the metals is titanium, suitable metals in association with titanium may include, for example, one or more of the following: Group IIIB metals such as scandium, yttrium and lanthanum including the lanthanides, Group VB metals such as niobium and tantalum, Group VIB metals such as chromium, molybdenum and tungsten, Group VIII metals such as iron, cobalt and nickel, Group IIB metals such as zinc and cadmium, Group IIIA metals such as boron, aluminum, gallium and indium, Group IVA metals such as silicon, germanium, tin and lead, Group VA metals such as arsenic, antimony and bismuth, and Group IVB metals such as zirconium and hafnium. For mixed metal oxides in which at least one of the metals is zirconium, suitable metals in association with zirconium may include, for example, one or more of the following: Group IVA metals such as silicon, germanium, tin and lead, Group VB metals such as niobium and tantalum, and Group VIB metals such as chromium, molybdenum and tungsten. The virtue of these metal oxides is that they demonstrate higher mechanical strength than the metallic phosphate component per se and can contribute to product selectivity and catalytic activity.

Other suitable mixed metal oxide catalysts embraced within the scope of this invention are disclosed by Tanabe et al., Bulletin of the Chemical Society of Japan, Vol. 47(5), pp. 1064-1066 (1974).
The metal oxides described herein which can be used in association with the metallic polyphosphate catalyst may contribute to product selectivity and/or catalytic activity of the reaction and/or stability of the catalyst The catalyst structure can comprise from about 0 to about 90 percent or greater by weight of the metal oxide, preferably from about 0 to about 75 percent by weight of the metal oxide, and more preferably from about 0 to about 50 percent by weight of the metal oxide, the remainder being the weight of the metallic polyphosphate catalyst. For mixed metal oxides containing titania, higher concentrations of titania can provide very desirable product selectivities including acyclic to cyclic selectivities and linear to branched selectivities of higher polyalkylene polyamine products. As discussed hereinafter, the metallic polyphosphate condensation catalyst of this invention may also contain support(s), binding agent(s) or other additives to stabilize or otherwise help in the manufacture of the catalyst.
Though the metallic polyphosphate condensation catalyst of the invention provides sufficient activity to effect the condensation reaction, certain combinations of reactants and/or product formation may be benefited by treating the catalyst with a catalyst moderator, hereinafter termed "performance moderator." Catalyst moderators are widely used to control the performance of catalysts in areas of selectivity to certain products and the repression of a catalyst s proclivity to generate a broad range of reaction products. A range of suitable materials may impact the metallic polyphosphate condensation catalysts of this invention in the variety of reaction products. The performance moderator may be any material which impacts the metallic polyphosphate condensation catalyst s selection of reaction products or which changes the proportion of any one or more of the reaction products which the metallic polyphosphate condensation catalyst generates at comparable processing conditions. In addition to contributing to product selectivity, the performance moderator may be any material which contributes to catalytic activity and/or catalyst stability (mechanical or dimensional strength).
An illustrative performance moderator is a mineral acid or a compound derived from a mineral acid. Suitable for use as performance moderators are one or more phosphoric acid or a salt of phosphoric acid, hydrogen fluoride, hydrofluoric acid or a fluoride salt, sulfuric acid or a salt of sulfuric acid, and the like. The moderator may also be organic esters of phosphoric acid or a salt of phosphoric acid, hydrogen fluoride organic complexes, hydrofluoric acid organic complexes or a fluoride salt organic complexes, organic esters of sulfuric acid or a salt of sulfuric acid, and the like. Suitable salts of phosphoric acid include sodium dihydrogen phosphate, disodium hydrogen phosphate, sodium phosphate and the like.

Suitable Group VIB metal containing substances are disclosed in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 390,708, filed on an even date herewith and incorporated herein by reference. Illustrative of Group VIB metal containing performance moderators include, for example, one or more oxides of tungsten, chromium. molybdenum or mixtures thereof.
A variety of conventional phosphorus-containing substances may be suitable for use as performance moderators in this invention. The conventional substances should be capable of functioning as a performance moderator. Illustrative of conventional phosphorus-containing substances may include, for example, those disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,036,881, 4,806,517, 4,617,418, 4,720,588, 4,394,524, 4,540,822, 4,588,842, 4,605,770, 4,683,335, 4,316,841, 4,463,193, 4,503,253, 4,560,798 and 4,578,517.
Suitable conventional phosphorus-containing substances which may be employed as performance moderators in this invention include acidic metal phosphates, phosphoric acid compounds and their anhydrides, phosphorous acid compounds and their anhydrides, alkyl or aryl phosphate esters, alkyl or aryl phosphite esters, alkyl or aryl substituted phosphorous acids and phosphoric acids, alkali metal monosalts of phosphoric acid, the thioanalogs of the foregoing, and mixtures of any of the above.
The amount of the performance moderator of the mineral acid type used with the metallic polyphosphate catalyst of the invention is not narrowly critical. Generally, the amount does not exceed 25 weight percent of the weight of the catalyst. As a rule, it is desirable to use at least 0.01 weight percent of the weight of the catalyst. Preferably, the amount of performance moderator, when used, will range from about 0.2 to about 10 weight percent of the weight of the catalyst. Most preferably, the amount of performance moderator, when used, will range from about 0 5 to about 5 weight percent of the weight of the catalyst.
The amount of performance moderator other than the mineral acid type used with the metallic polyphosphate catalyst is not narrowly critical. Generally, the amount does not exceed 90 weight percent of the weight of the catalyst. The amount of performance moderator can range from about 0 to about 90 or greater weight percent of the weight of the catalyst, preferably from about 0 to about 75 weight percent of the weight of the catalyst, and more preferably from about 0 to about 50 weight percent of the weight of the catalyst. Most preferably, the amount of performance moderator, when used, will range from about 0.5 to about 25 weight percent of the weight of the catalyst.
This invention also embraces the use of vicinal di(hetero)alkylene organometalates in the preparation of amines. Suitable vicinal di(hetero) alkylene organometalates are disclosed in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 390,828, filed on an even date herewith and incorporated herein by reference.
The performance moderator can be provided to the metallic polyphosphate catalyst by conventional procedures known in the art. For example, the performance moderator can be provided to the catalyst by impregnating particles or monolithic structures comprising the metallic polyphosphate catalyst with liquid comprising the performance moderator. This is a well known procedure in the art for incorporating additives to a solid support material. The metallic polyphosphate catalyst of the invention may be utilized as solid powders or as fused, bonded or compressed solid pellets, or larger structures in association with the one or more metal oxides, or as coated, fused, bonded or compressed solid pellets, or larger structures, composited with one or more support materials, in association with one or more metal oxides. These solid structures may be treated with the performance moderator by mixing a liquid body of the performance moderator with the solid structure. For example, the metallic polyphosphate catalyst solids may be slurried in the performance moderator, drained, washed and suctioned to remove excess performance moderator, and then dried with heat to remove any volatiles accompanying the performance moderator. The drying temperature chosen will depend on the nature of the volatiles to be removed. Usually, the time/temperature for effecting drying will be below the conditions for effecting dehydration to remove bound water from the metal oxide in association with the metallic polyphosphate catalyst. Normally the drying temperature will be greater than about 120.degree. C. and below about 600.degree. C. depending on the thermal stability of the catalyst. The drying time will generally go down as the drying temperature rises and vice versus, and may extend from 5 seconds to about 24 hours.
Alternatively, the performance moderator can be provided to the catalyst at the time of preparing the metallic polyphosphate catalyst in association with one or more metal oxides For example, one or more metal oxides may be condensed from their respective hydrolyzable monomers to the desired oxides to form oxide powders which can thereafter be blended and compressed with the metallic polyphosphate to form pellets and larger structures of the metal oxide-containing condensation catalyst of this invention. The one or more metal oxides which can be used in association with the metallic polyphosphate catalyst in accordance with this invention can be provided from metal salts which can be heated to form the metal oxide. It is appreciated that the performance moderator can be incorporated into the molecular bonding configuration of the metal oxide-containing condensation catalyst by conventional procedures known in the art.
The metallic polyphosphate condensation catalysts in association with one or more metal oxides prior to the optional treatment of the performance moderator may be prepared in a wide variety of ways. For example, one or more metal oxides may be provided as a partial condensate on a support, such as a silica or alpha, beta or gamma alumina, silicon carbide, and the like, and then condensed by heating to effect polymerization to the desired oxide form. The metal oxide(s) may be condensed from hydrolyzable monomers to the desired oxide, indeed, to form an oxide powder which can thereafter be compressed in the presence of a metallic polyphosphate to form pellets and larger structures of the metal oxide-containing condensation catalyst of the invention. A blend of the powder and metallic polyphosphate can be made into a shapeable paste which can be extruded and cut into pellets according to conventional procedures. The extrudate may thereafter be fired to cure the metallic polyphosphate and fix the structure. The cut extrudate may be blended with a support material such as those characterized above, and the blend fired to fuse the metal oxide-containing catalyst to the support.
In a preferred embodiment of this invention, a high surface area silica or titania can be slurried with an aqueous solution of disodium dihydrogen pyrophosphate or sodium trimetaphosphate, extruded, and calcined at a temperature of about 400.degree. C.
A preferred catalyst structure comprises disodium dihydrogen pyrophosphate or sodium trimetaphosphate in association with a Group IVA or IVB metal oxide having a surface area of at least a 140 m.sup.2/ gm which may or may not be bonded to a support material. The term "support," as used herein and in the claims, means a solid structure which does not adversely affect the catalytic properties of the catalyst and is at least as stable as the catalyst to the reaction medium. The support can function as an amine condensation catalyst independent of the metallic polyphosphate having a condensed structure, although it may have lower catalytic activity to the reaction. The support may act in concert with the catalyst to moderate the reaction. Some supports may contribute to the selectivity of the reaction. The catalyst structure can comprise from about 2 to about 60 percent by weight or greater of the support, more preferably from about 10 to about 50 percent by weight of the support, the remainder being the weight of the metal oxide(s) and metallic polyphosphate. Included in the weight of the support is the weight of any binding agent such as phosphates, sulfates, silicates, fluorides, and the like, and any other additive provided to stabilize or otherwise help in the manufacture of the catalyst. The support may be particles as large or larger than the catalyst component and "glued" to the catalytic metallic polyphosphate and/or metal oxide by virtue of a binding medium.
The support may constitute a separate phase in the process of extruding the catalytic structure. In this embodiment, the support forming material, preferably as a paste is blended with a paste of the metallic polyphosphate and one or more metal oxides or a partial condensate thereof. The paste may comprise the oxide forms of the support and the metallic polyphosphate, each blended with water, and/or binding agents. The extrudate of the blend is passed through a multiorificed die and chopped into pellets of the desired sizes. The particles may be doughnut shaped, spherical, and the like. Then the particles are calcined to dry them and complete any condensation reaction in the support and/or the metal oxide-containing condensation catalyst.
The use of supports for the metallic polyphosphate condensation catalyst provides a number of significant advantages. It has been determined that some of the metallic polyphosphates are not as stable in the amines reaction media when utilized over an extended period of time. When the reaction is effected as a batch reaction, this matter is not a problem. However, when the reaction is effected with the metallic polyphosphate catalyst as part of a fixed bed in a tubular reactor, the preferred procedure for carrying out the invention, it is desirable to have the catalyst be more stable. When the catalyst is combined with the support, the catalyst has greater stability for the reaction medium, and therefore, it is better able to be used in a fixed bed of a continuous reactor. The supported catalysts suffer from none of the leaching problems that the catalyst per se may have or the problems that are associated with the prior art catalysts, such as acidic phosphorus compounds on silica.
The reactants used in the condensation process of the invention may be ammonia or organic compound containing --NH-- and any compound possessing an alcoholic hydroxyl group, subject to the following: the intramolecular condensation of an amino compound produces an amine having a lower molecular weight and the intermolecular condensation of an amino compound with one or more of another amino compound or a compound containing an alcoholic hydroxyl group produces an amine having a lower, same or higher molecular weight than the reactants.
Illustrative of suitable reactants in effecting the process of the invention, include by way of example:
Ammonia
MEA monoethanolamine
EDA - ethylenediamine
MeEDA - methylethylenediamine
EtEDA - ethylethylenediamine
AEEA - N-(2-aminoethyl)ethanolamine
HEP - N-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazine
DETA diethylenetriamine
AEP - N-(2-aminoethyl)piperazine

TEPA - tetraethylenepentamine
PEHA - pentaethylenehexamine
TETA Isomers
TAEA - trisaminoethylamine
TETA - triethylenetetramine
DPE - dipiperazinoethane

BPEA - bispiperazinoethylamine
The foregoing also can represent the products of the reaction. For example, ammonia and MEA are frequently employed to produce EDA along with a variety of other amines, most of which are set forth above.
Glycol compounds can also be employed in the preparation of amines in accordance with this invention. For purposes of this invention, glycol compounds embrace diols and polyols. Illustrative of suitable glycol compounds include alkylene glycols such as ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, 1,3-propane diol or mixtures thereof.
The process may be effected in the liquid or vapor or supercritical liquid states or mixtures thereof though the actual reaction is believed to occur on the catalyst's solid surface in the absorbed state. In this context, the vapor phase reaction is intended to refer to the general vapor state of the reactants. Though the reaction conditions may range from subatmospheric to superatmospheric conditions, it is desirable to run the reaction from about 50 psig to about 3,000 psig, preferably from about 200 psig to about 2,000 psig.
The temperature of the reaction may be as low as about 125.degree. C. to about 400.degree. C. Preferably, the reaction temperature ranges from about 150.degree. C. to about 350.degree. C., and most preferably from about 225.degree. C. to about 325.degree. C.
The reaction may be effected by the incremental addition of one of the reactants to the other or by the joint addition of the reactants to the catalyst. The preferred process effects the reaction in a continuous manner over a fixed bed of the metallic phosphate catalyst in a tubular reactor. However, the reaction may be carried out by slurrying the catalyst in the reactants or in a batch node in an autoclave. An inert such as nitrogen, methane and the like can be used in the reaction process.
The preferred process involves the formation of alkyleneamines from the intermolecular condensation of alkanolamines and alkyleneamines or the intramolecular condensation of alkyleneamines or alkanolamines. Illustrative of such reactions are the following reactant combinations:

The process of the invention provides the ability to generate the manufacture of desirable higher polyalkylene polyamine products such as TETA, TEPA and PEHA without generating large amounts of cyclic alkylenepolyamine products such as FIP, AEP and HEP. The alkyleneamines producers composition of this invention has a TETA+TAEA to PIP.+-.AEP+PEEDA+DAEP+DPE weight ratio of greater than about 1.0 and a TETA to TAEA weight ratio of greater than about 2.0. The process of this invention provides the potential to control congener distribution, linear to cyclic selectivity and linear to branched selectivity of the higher polyalkylene polyamines.
It is appreciated that the metallic polyphosphate condensation catalysts of this invention may also be useful in the production of alkylamines. For example, an alcohol and at least one of ammonia, a primary amine, a secondary amine or a tertiary amine may be contacted in the presence of a metallic polyphosphate condensation catalyst having a condensed structure under conditions effective to produce alkylamines.





This invention is further illustrated by certain of the following examples:
