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.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim 15 words
A process according to claim 1, in which the di- and trialkanolamines are also recovered.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 23 words
A process according to claim 1, in which the reaction is carried out adiabatically at from about 25* C. to about 150* C.
Claim 3
