Abstract:
Disclosed are processes and apparatuses for concentrating at least one organic acid using an alkyl acetate as an entrainer. The processes and apparatuses may use the same alkyl acetate as an entrainer to concentrate a mixture of organic acids.
Abstract:
The invention relates to methods for producing chemical products, wherein the one or more feed materials are reacted to form a chemical product or a chemical composition. The invention further relates to plants for performing such methods, said plants being designed in such a way that, during an interruption of the methods, no input of at least one feed material into the reaction occurs and the plant parts not affected by a revision measure, maintenance measure, repair measure, or cleaning measure are operated in so-called recirculation mode. It is thereby achieved, among other things, that only the affected plant part needs to be shut down for the time of the measure, which can be advantageous with regard to the productivity and economy of the method and the quality of the produced products. Finally, the invention relates to methods for operating plants in the event that individual plant parts are taken out of service.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for coproducing of adipic acid and nitrocyclohexane in high-selectivity. The method of the present invention is to coproduce adipic acid and nitrocyclohexane in one step from cyclohexane by using nitrogen oxides NOx as the oxidant and nitrating agent, with high selectivity and adjustable ratio of adipic acid and nitrocyclohexane, by adjusting the reaction conditions such as ratio of reactants, reaction temperature and reaction pressure, the types and amount of catalysts or inducing agents. The NO produced by the reaction can be recovered and again reacted with oxygen to produce NO x for recycling.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses an improved process for the liquid phase nitration of aromatic compounds catalyzed by WO3 supported on mesoporous silica support, at low temperature, with high conversion and selectivity.
