2-(2-Tert-butylaminoethoxy)ethanol (TBEE) is a new sterically hindered amine desulfurizer that selectively absorbs H2S. Studying on the direct reductive amination process of diethylene glycol (DEG) and tert-butylamine (TBA) to prepare TBEE has important academic significance and economic value. In this work, NixCuy/Al2O3 heterogeneous catalyst was prepared, the active components and loading ratio were screened, resulting in the optimal Ni and Cu element mass ratio was obtained as 3∶2. The Ni3Cu2/Al2O3 was used for the catalytic reduction amination of DEG, and the process conditions for this reaction were optimized. Experimental results showed that under the conditions of 200 ℃, catalyst mass of 1.0g, raw material amine to alcohol molar ratio of 2∶1, and H2 pressure of 1.0 MPa, the DEG conversion reached 77.2% within 3 h, with a TBEE yield of 67.2%. Finally, the study on the mechanisms and kinetics of the reductive amination reaction of DEG was carried out, which provided certain reference significance for the industrialization of TBEE."/>
