Abstract
This is an improvement in a process for the production of an amine such as hexamethylenediamine from a nitrile such as adiponitrile where the nitrile is hydrogenated under pressure in the presence of a Raney nickel catalyst, the reaction being conducted in a reactor from which is discharged a product stream containing both the amine and the Raney nickel catalyst. The improvement comprises charging to the process discharge stream containing the product amine and the Raney nickel catalyst, an inorganic base, whereby the Raney nickel catalyst is passivated and catalytic decomposition of the amine is substantially decreased.
