Abstract
Abstract A continuous process is provided for preparing monoalkanolamines from ammonia and alkylene oxides using a cation exchange resin as a catalyst, recovering and recycling ammonia, which is used in considerable excess. High yields of the monoalkanolamines, exceeding 65 percent and even 90 percent, are obtainable.
