Hydrogenation

Hydrogenation


Explanation

The organic compound together with hydrogen produce effect of addition, replacement, and molecular rupture, which is the method of attaching hydrogen onto the organic compound.

Technical Description

■ Perform hydrogenated addition via metal powder+ acid to release hydrogen, or directly generate from high-pressure hydrogen/ catalyst.
■ The applicable scope covers turning of unsaturated organic matter to relative saturation; examples are C=C (alkene) or C≡C (alkyne) becomes C-C (alkane) after hydrogenated addition, or RNO2 (nitro group) restores to RNH2 (amino group)+ H2O (water) via hydrogenation.

Solution

The R&D team is highly experienced with reaction of hydrogenated addition via high-pressure hydrogen/ catalyst. 1~2-liter level of small test at laboratory can be conducted first for development/ optimization, and then advance to 125-liter level of small trial production, which can further advance to 5000-liter level of mass production.

Client Advantage

Easy product replacement and washing on production line. Adjustment can be implemented according to client request on manufacturing process and specifications, where mutual development or optimized manufacturing process can also be conducted.
The catalyst hydrogenation is a green process with less waste, which can reduce waste generated from restoration of metal powder/ acid. The catalyst can be recycled and reused to increase efficiency.

Case Description

■ Case 1
The topics of trend under global focus are set on the avoidance of excessive dependence on raw materials from petrochemical sources, which further changes to raw materials from natural sources. However, the raw material of natural resin contains diversified unsaturated double-bond, which makes it extremely difficult for reaction control. After hydrogenated restoration to saturated aliphatic compound, the resin synthesis at later stage was easier to control, which achieved avoidance of excessive petrochemical dependence.

■ Case 2
The diamine compound commonly used for PI/PA would differ from selection of different raw materials while hydrogenation is an important process to produce amine compound. Further production can be made by incorporating with etherification/ esterification.

■ Case 3
Active double-bond polymerization controls degree of customized resin polymerization at later stage.
