Page/Page column 22, (2008/06/13)
The invention relates to a method for the continuous production of an amine by reacting a primary or secondary alcohol, aldehyde and/or ketone with hydrogen and a nitrogen compound, selected from the group including ammonia, primary and secondary amines, at a temperature in the range of from 80 to 350 °C in the presence of a zirconium dioxide-containing catalyst, the catalytically active weight of the catalyst prior to its reduction with hydrogen containing 90 to 99.8 % by weight of zirconium dioxide (ZrO2), 0.1 to 5.0 % by weight of oxygen-containing compounds of palladium and 0.1 to 5.0 % by weight of oxygen-containing compounds of platinum.
