摘要:
Unexpected corrosion of downstream sections of a dialkyl carbonate manufacturing apparatus has been traced to alkyl chloroformate impurities, which slowly decompose to yield hydrochloric acid. An improved process and apparatus for dialkyl carbonate synthesis reduce corrosion by physically removing or chemically decomposing the alkyl chloroformate impurities within the corrosion-resistant upstream sections of the apparatus.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method of modifying a lens, for example an ophthalmic lens. The method comprises providing an optically transparent lens comprising an organic polymer composition containing a photochemically active dye. The optically transparent lens is irradiated with light having a wavelength and an intensity sufficient to transform at least a portion of the photochemically active dye into a photoproduct or photoproducts within the irradiated volume elements of the optically transparent lens to produce refractive index variations in a modified optically transparent lens. In certain embodiments, the modified optically transparent lens is subjected to a stabilization step to provide a light stable modified optically transparent lens. Stabilization is required only when the starting photochemically active dye and/or the photoproduct(s) are unstable under ambient conditions.
摘要:
Diaminoalkyl quaternary ammonium salts are prepared by the reaction of alkyl halides with tertiary diamines having C.sub.2-20 primary alkyl radicals attached to nitrogen and an alkyl radical between the two nitrogen atoms in which at least three carbon atoms separate said nitrogen atoms. Said salts are preferably substantially free from corresponding diamines. They are useful as catalysts for interfacial polycarbonate preparation by the reaction of phosgene with at least one dihydroxyaromatic compound. Polycarbonate preparation using such catalysts is economical in phosgene consumption, is accompanied by a rapid conversion of chloroformate groups to desirable species and affords a product with a very low proportion of unreacted dihydroxyaromatic compound.
摘要:
An adsorption process uses a non-ion-exchangeable adsorbent polymeric resin of a monoethylenically unsaturated monomer such as styrene and a polyvinylidene monomer such as divinylbenzene for the adsorption of organic bases, such amines, amine salts and guanidinium salts, from high ionic strength aqueous solutions. Desorption may be employed for the recovery of said organic bases, and said adsorbent resin may be regenerated.
