doi:10.16085/j.issn.1000-6613.2020-0767

Abstract

Abstract:

Condensation amination of monoethanolamine (MEA) is a green and efficient method in selective synthesis of ethylenediamine (EDA). Progresses and trends in reaction process, catalyst, separation and purification are reviewed in this work. Reaction mechanism, thermodynamics and kinetics, effect of catalysts including acidity, pore properties and deactivation, separation and purification are discussed in detail. Furthermore, the core issues in the industrialization of this reaction are analyzed and it's pointed out that fabrication of hierarchical zeolite with tunable surface acidity is an effective way to overcome the diffusion limitation in selective synthesis of EDA. Via the synergism between shape selective catalysis and acid catalysis, it is expected to overcome the problems and promote the application in selective synthesis of EDA via condensation amination of MEA in industry.

Key words: ethylenediamine, selectivity, chemical reaction, preparation, catalyst, separation
