摘要:
Formed products such as foams, fabrics for industrial materials, filaments, nonwoven fabrics, composite materials and films which are degradable after use with ease in the natural environment are prepared by using a high molecular weight aliphatic polyester obtained by direct polycondensation of an aliphatic polyhydric alcohol with aliphatic polybasic acid or additionally hydroxycarboxylic acid or oligomers of these materials in a reaction mixture containing a solvent. Foams have excellent thermal insulation and strength; fabrics are excellent in thermal insulation, strength and elongation and can be used for industrial materials; filaments have sufficient strength, flexibility and degradability in a living body and can be used for bioabsorbable surgical filament and fishing lines; nonwoven fabrics can be obtained by bonding a web of filaments and have excellent strength and feeling; composite materials can be prepared by adhering or impregnating fiber, paper, film and others of cellulosics and have excellent strength and water resistance, good flexibility and folding resistance, simultaneously have degradability in the natural environment, and can dissolve polymer films on the surface with ease under alkaline conditions to recover cellulosics alone; and films are excellent in heat resistance and strength.

摘要:
A process for preparing a novel superabsorbent polymer which is readily hydrolyzed and conform to environment by reacting a polysuccinimide with a diamine in an aqueous solution or an organic solvent to partially crosslink the polysuccinimide, and subsequently or concurrently hydrolyzing the remaining imide ring with an alkali while controlling the pH; and the superabsorbent polymer thus obtained.
摘要:
.alpha.-L-Aspartyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester (.alpha.-APM) is prepared by catalytic hydrogenation of N-benzyloxycarbonyl-.alpha.-L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester (Z-.alpha.-APM). The catalytic hydrogenation is conducted in an aqueous suspension containing the Z-.alpha.-APM in the form of particles whose average particle size is not greater than 800 .mu.m. The starting Z-.alpha.-APM may contain up to 30 wt. % of its .beta.-isomer provided that the process additionally includes recrystallization of the .alpha.-APM, collection of the .alpha.-APM by filtration and recycling of the filtrate for use in the aqueous suspension of Z-.alpha.-APM.
摘要:
Disclosed is a method for extracting an amino acid ester from a hydrous solution which comprises adding thereto a water-insoluble organic solvent and then an amount of a base effective to liberate only a portion of the amino acid ester in free base form, and transferring the thus liberated amino acid ester in the free base form into the organic layer, and repeating the neutralization-extraction steps until all of the amino acid ester has been extracted.
摘要:
A gaseous mixture containing chlorine, carbon dioxide and non-condensable gas is compressed and cooled to separate it into a residual gas formed principally of a major portion of the non-condensable gas and a condensate formed primarily of chlorine. The condensate is fed to a stripping column to desorb carbon dioxide and a minor portion of the non-condensable gas dissolved in the condensate. The stripped gas formed primarily of chlorine and carbon dioxide may be treated further. Namely, the stripped gas is mixed with the residual gas. At least a portion of the mixed gas is fed into an absorption column, whereby a major portion of remaining chlorine is absorbed to lower the chlorine content Removal of chlorine from such a gaseous mixture or an off-gas from the above process can be achieved by washing it with an aqueous solution or suspension containing an alkali metal sulfite and/or an alkaline earth metal sulfite while controlling the pH of the solution or suspension within a range of 1.9-6.3.
