摘要:
A process for removing trioxane from a use stream I of formaldehyde, trioxane and water, by a) providing a use stream I of formaldehyde as the main component and trioxane and water as the secondary components, b) mixing the use stream I with a recycle stream VII to obtain a feed stream Ia, c) distilling the use stream Ia in a first distillation stage to obtain a stream II of formaldehyde as the main component and water as the secondary component, and a stream III of trioxane as the main component and water and formaldehyde as the secondary components, d) distilling the stream III in a second distillation stage having a pressure higher than in the first distillation stage, to obtain a stream IV of trioxane and a stream V of trioxane as the main component and water and formaldehyde as the secondary components, e) distilling the stream V in a third distillation stage to obtain a stream VI of water and the recycle stream VII of trioxane as the main component and water and formaldehyde as the secondary components.
摘要:
A process for preparing polyoxymethylene homopolymers or copolymers by homopolymerization or copolymerization of trioxane or additionally of suitable comonomers, in which trioxane which still comprises residual monomers is firstly prepared in a monomer plant and is degassed in one or more stages to give one or more vapor streams (13, 14) which are, if appropriate, fed to a condenser (K) in which the condensable fractions of these vapor streams are condensed to give a condensate (15) which is recycled to the polymerization reactor (P) and one or more gaseous, formaldehyde-comprising streams (16) and also a partially degassed polyoxymethylene homopolymer or copolymer (17) which is fed to an extruder (E) or kneader and is mixed with customary additives and processing aids in this to give a polymer melt (19) and extraction of a formaldehyde-comprising extruder or kneader offgas (18) from the extruder (E) or kneader, wherein the formaldehyde-comprising secondary streams (14, 16, 18) from the polymer plant are recycled directly without addition of auxiliaries to the monomer plant, is proposed
摘要:
Process for preparing high-concentration gaseous formaldehyde having a molar CH2O:H2O ratio of ≧0.6 from an aqueous formaldehyde solution by evaporation of at least part of the solution, in which the aqueous formaldehyde solution is heated to a vaporization temperature T and the gas phase formed is taken off, wherein the evaporation temperature T obeys the relationship: T[° C.]≧T′min[° C.] where T′min(c)=A+B×(c/100)+C×(c/100)2+D×(c/100)3 and A=+68.759, B=+124.77, C=−12.851, D=−10.095, where c is the instantaneous CH2O content of the aqueous formaldehyde solution during the evaporation in percent by weight and is from 20 to 99% by weight.
摘要:
A process for preparing a high-concentration formaldehyde solution by removing water from a lower-concentration formaldehyde solution having a formaldehyde content of from 5 to 50% by weight, in which the lower-concentration formaldehyde solution is fed to a preheater and heated in the preheater, depressurized via a pressure maintenance device and concentrated in a helical tube evaporator to give a vapor stream and the high-concentration formaldehyde solution as bottom stream, wherein the heated lower-concentration formaldehyde hyde solution is depressurized in the pressure maintenance device to give a two-phase mixture which is fed into the helical tube evaporator, is proposed.
