Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for the dehydration of aqueous 3-hydroxypropanoic acid to form acrylic acid in a liquid phase. Aqueous acrylic acid is continuously removed from the liquid phase and said liquid phase contains an inert organic solvent (1).
Abstract:
The invention concerns a method of dehydrating aqueous 3-hydroxypropionic acid to form acrylic acid in the fluid phase, aqueous acrylic acid being continuously removed from the fluid phase, and the aqueous 3-hydroxypropionic acid and/or the fluid phase having a high content of oligomeric 3-hydroxypropionic acid.
Abstract:
Process for manufacturing a coated mesh for oil-water separation by coating a mesh with a curable coating composition and crosslinking the coating thereby providing hydrophilic properties to the surface of the mesh, a coated mesh available by said process and the use of such coated mesh for oil-water separation.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing acrylic acid from ethylene oxide and carbon monoxide, in which ethylene oxide is carbonylated in a non-protic solvent with carbon monoxide in the presence of a Co-containing catalyst system to form poly-3-hydroxy propionate, the Co-content of the formed poly-3-hydroxy propionate is then reduced with the aid of water and/or an aqueous solution as a precipitation and/or washing liquid and the poly-3-hydroxy propionate is subsequently cleaved by thermolysis to form acrylic acid.
