Abstract

A method for producing amines by the hydrogenation of nitrile compounds in the presence of a catalyst, notably a method for producing diamines by the continuous hydrogenation of dinitrile compounds in the presence of a Raney-metal catalyst, includes controlling the molar flow of nitrile compounds and the mass flow of catalyst in a hydrogenation piston reactor in order to minimize the occurrence of impurities and deterioration of the catalyst.
