Method for preparing 1,4-butanediol having an APHA color index of less than 30 by treating substance mixtures comprising 1,4-butanediol by distillation of the 1,4-butanediol in the presence of complex hydrides.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for preparing 1,4-butanediol having an APHA color index of less than 30 comprising treating a substance mixture comprising 1,4-butanediol by distillation of the 1,4-butanediol in the presence of a complex hydride. 2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the complex hydride used is NaBH 4 . 3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein NaBH 4 is used as an aqueous alkaline solution. 4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the distillation of the 1,4-butanediol is operated continuously. 5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the distillation is operated using a dividing wall column. 6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the pH of the mixture of substance mixture comprising 1,4-butanediol and hydride has a pH of 4 to 14 at a minimum water content of 10%. 7. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the pH of the mixture of substance mixture comprising 1,4-butanediol and hydride has a pH of 4 to 14 at a minimum water content of 10%.
