Nanocrystalline mor zeolite catalysis: BASFRecent Research Landscape

Byproduct formation during amine synthesis increases purification costs and reduces yield. These innovations utilize specific catalytic conditions to suppress cyclic impurity formation during the hydrogenation of nitriles.

What technical problems is BASF addressing in Nanocrystalline mor zeolite catalysis?

Low amination selectivity

(33)evidences

Competitive reaction pathways during nitrile hydrogenation and amine synthesis lead to impurities like diaminocyclohexane. Reducing these secondary products increases chemical purity and process yield.

Fossil fuel feedstock dependency

(13)evidences

Conventional amine and carbohydrate processing relies on carbon-intensive hydrogen sources and non-renewable feedstocks. Shifting to non-fossil energy and controlled isotopic hydrogen reduces the environmental footprint of chemical synthesis.
