Abstract

Disclosed is a process for preparing predominantly linear polyethylenepolyamines from the catalyzed reaction of (1) an ethyleneamine and an alkanolamine, (2) ethyleneamines or (3) an alkanolamine and ammonia. The catalyst employed is a silica-alumina catalyst. An acidic phosphorus cocatalyst may be used in conjunction with the silica-alumina catalyst.
