Abstract:
A process for pneumatic delivery of water-absorbing polymer particles, the compressor used for pneumatic delivery having a steep characteristic and the initial gas rate in the delivery corresponding to a Froude number of from 10 to 18.
Abstract:
A process for pneumatic delivery of water-absorbing polymer particles, the initial gas rate in the delivery being from 1 to 6 m/s and the delivery material loading being from 1 to 100 kg/kg.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a neutralization process in which at least one ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid is at least partly preneutralized with a base, the preneutralized solution being divided into at least two part-solutions and at least one part-solution being aftertreated, so that part-solutions are formed which have different degrees of neutralization and/or solids contents, and also to an apparatus for carrying out the process.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to fluid-absorbent articles, comprising a fluid-absorbent core comprising at least 60 % by weight of fluid-absorbent polymer particles and not more than 40 % by weight of cellulose based fibers and an acquisition-distribution layer comprising at least 90% by weight of synthetic non-cellulose based fibers and not more than 10 % by weight of cellulose based fibers. The thickness deviation of the bi-folded fluid-absorbent article in longitudinal direction is less than 10%. More particularly, the present invention relates to folding and packaging of disposable fluid-absorbent articles such as diapers, training pants.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for producing water-absorbing polymer particles, comprising the steps of: • - processing an aqueous polymer gel from polymerization of a monomer solution or suspension, • - drying the aqueous polymer gel in a conveyer dryer, in particular in a forced air conveyer dryer, wherein • - the conveyer dryer has a circulating conveyer belt and the aqueous polymer gel is conveyed on the circulating conveyer belt, and wherein • - the circulating conveyer belt is formed as a circulating plate conveyer belt, comprising a number of belt plates separated by a hinge line of a hinge assembly and each belt plate having a surface for receiving the aqueous polymer gel, wherein said hinge assembly comprises a knuckle joint (301) with the hinge line in form of a straight hinge line.
