Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for reducing the dimerization of piperidines of the formula I ##STR1## where R.sup.1 to R.sup.4 are C.sub.1 - to C.sub.6 -alkyl, R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 and/or R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 together are a CH.sub.2 chain having 2 to 5 carbon atoms, which comprises adding to the piperidine from 0.001 to 0.2% by weight of a reducing agent of the formula MXH.sub.4-m Y.sub.m, where M is an alkali metal, NR.sub.4, where R are identical or different C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl groups, or an equivalent of an alkaline earth metal or an equivalent of zinc, X is boron or aluminum, Y is H or CN and m is 0 or 1. The invention also relates to a mixture of piperidines of the formula I, from 0.001 to 0.2% by weight of a reducing agent and from 1 to 1000 ppm of dimers of the piperidines of the formula I, and to the preparation of hindered amine light stabilizers therefrom.
Abstract:
1,6-Hexanediol is prepared from a carboxylic acid mixture comprising adipic acid, 6-hydroxycaproic acid and small amounts of 1,4-cyclohexanediols which is obtained as a by-product in the oxidation of cyclohexane to cyclohexanone/cyclohexanol by water extraction of the reaction mixture, by esterification of the acids and hydrogenation whereina) the monocarboxylic and dicarboxylic acids present in the aqueous dicarboxylic acid mixture are reacted with a low molecular weight alcohol to give the corresponding carboxylic esters,b) the resulting esterification mixture is freed of excess alcohol and low boilers in a first distillation stage,c) the bottoms are fractionated in a second distillation stage to give an ester fraction essentially free of 1,4-cyclohexanediols and a fraction comprising at least the major part of the 1,4-cyclohexanediols,d) the ester fraction essentially free of 1,4-cyclohexanediols is catalytically hydrogenated ande) in a pure distillation stage, 1,6-hexanediol is isolated from the hydrogenation product in a manner known per se.
Abstract:
Vinyl formate containing formic acid, acetaldehyde and water following synthesis is separated from formic acid and water in a first distillation stage and from acetaldehyde in a second stage to give pure vinyl formate.
Abstract:
A process for the separation of 1,4-butanediol from mixtures obtained by the catalytic hydrogenation of maleates, fumarates, and/or succinates, which also contain tetrahydrofuran, water, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alcohols, succinic diesters, hydroxybutyrates, alkylhydroxyalkyl succinates, gamma-butyrolactone and butyrates, in addition to 1,4-butanediol, comprising the following steps:a) separating, in a first column having an actual number of plates of from 20 to 70 and operated at a top pressure of from 50 to 1100 mbar and preferably from 50 to 500 mbar and a top temperature of from 40.degree. to 120.degree. C., alcohol, water and tetrahydrofuran, as overhead product,b) feeding the bottom product of the first column into a second column having an actual number of plates of from 30 to 90 and withdrawing the overhead product consisting of alcohol and butyrate and obtained at a top pressure of from 45 to 250 mbar and a top temperature of from 45.degree. to 120.degree. C., and withdrawing gamma-butyrolactone and butyrates through a side outlet, and feeding the bottom product to a phase separator,c) feeding the 1,4-butanediol-enriched bottom phase of the liquid two-phase mixture coming from the phase separator to a third column having an actual number of plates of from 30 to 90, alcohol being distilled off as overhead product at a top pressure of from 45 to 250 mbar and a top temperature of from 45.degree. to 120.degree. C., and the azeotrope comprising 1,4 -butanediol and succinic diester is withdrawn as a sidestream and recycled to the phase separator, whilst 1,4-butanediol is removed together with alkyl-hydroxyalkyl succinate, butyl hydroxybutyrate, and high-boiling fractions as bottoms, andd) separating the succinate-enriched top phase in the phase separator.
Abstract:
A planetary roller extruder includes a housing with an internal housing toothing. A central spindle is disposed in the housing and has an external central spindle toothing. A plurality of planetary spindles are disposed about the central spindle and in the housing. Each of the planetary spindles has an external planetary spindle toothing configured to mesh with the internal housing toothing and the external central spindle toothing. A drive is configured to rotate the central spindle. The drive includes a drive journal connected to the central spindle to permit transmission of a driving force from the drive to the central spindle. The drive journal includes a bore. The bore has internal projections configured to engage with the external central spindle toothing to secure the central spindle to the drive journal by a screw-type connection.

Abstract:
Method for producing a blend of a plastic first material and a wood or other plant second material in a planetary roller extrusion arrangement. The method involves feeding particles of the second material into a feed, which particles of the second material have a maximum diameter of 1 mm. Particles of the first material are fed into a melting device and liquefied into a plastic melt. The plastic melt is fed into a pump. Particles of the second material are moved into a planetary roller part of the extrusion arrangement, while the plastic melt is also pumped in. The particles of the second material are then blended with the plastic melt to form a blend that is at least 60% by weight of the second material.

Abstract:
According to the invention blends of wood particles and plant particles and plastic are generated in an extruder thereby that the plastic is converted separately into a liquid melt before the joining takes place.
