Abstract:
The invention relates to water-absorbing polymer particles made of crosslinked polymer chains which largely comprise mono-polymerized units of at least partly neutralized acrylic acid. The polymer particles have a) a proportion of particles with a particle size of 150 to 300 μm of at least 20 wt.%, b) a total swell rate of all the polymer particles FSR of at least 0.25 g/g-s, c) a difference Δ FSR of at least 0.15, d) a centrifuge retention capacity CRC of at least 25.0 g/g, and e) a permeability of the swollen gel bed SFC of at least 90 x 10 -7 cm 3 -s/g. ΔFSR is defined as ΔFSR = FSR 150-300 μm - FSR in total , wherein FSR represents 150-300 μm for the swell rate of the polymer particles with a particle size of 150 to 300 μm. the absorption capacity of all the polymer particles is also largely used when segregating particles of different sizes.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a catalyst and a method for condensing alcohols in the gas phase by means of a Guerbet reaction. The catalyst according to the invention is preferably used in a method for producing butanol by condensing ethanol. The catalyst comprises a carrier material composed of thermally partially or completely decomposed compounds similar to hydrotalcite, preferably hydrotalcite, in contact with iridium and/or ruthenium as a promoter, wherein the content of iridium and/or ruthenium is in the range of 0.05 to 4 wt%, preferably 0.1 to 3.5 wt%, and especially preferably 0.2 to 3.0 wt%, and the average size of the promoter particles is
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing cyclic compounds having at least eight carbon atoms and at least one keto group, the cyclic compounds obtained according to said method, and the use of said cyclic compounds, in particular as an aromatic substance or to provide an aromatic substance.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an apparatus for the separation of magnetic constituents from a dispersion comprising these magnetic constituents and nonmagnetic constituents, comprising at least one loop-like canal (5) through which a dispersion flows having at least two inlets (1, 2) and at least two outlets (3, 4), further comprising at least one magnet (6) that is moveable alongside the canal (5), wherein the canal (5) is arranged relative to gravity in a way that nonmagnetic constituents are assisted to go into at least the one first outlet (3) (stream I) by sedimentation and by the current of the dispersion and magnetic constituents are forced into at least one second outlet (4) (stream II) by magnetic force against a current of flushing water. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a process for the separation of magnetic constituents from a dispersion comprising these magnetic constituents and nonmagnetic constituents.
Abstract:

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a stable mixture comprising surface-modified particles obtained by reacting metal or semi-metal oxide particles with at least one compound selected from silicon-containing compounds which carry one, two or three alkoxy radicals, and at least one solvent, at least one surface-active substance or a mixture thereof, to the use of these particles in systems in which they are brought into contact with at least one solvent, the mass ratio of solvent to modified particle being greater than 500, and to the use of these particles in agglomeration-deagglomeration cycles.
