Abstract:
Disclosed is a process for the production of ammonia comprising a step wherein synthesis gas is formed in two different ways, viz. by catalytic partial oxidation (31) and by steam reforming, and wherein the combined streams of synthesis gas are subjected to a water gas shift reaction (50). Also disclosed is a process of producing urea, wherein ammonia is formed (90) in a process involving said combined streams and wherein carbon dioxide (110) formed in the same process is reacted with said ammonia so as to form urea.
Abstract:
An improvement in the process for producing foamed polyamide materials by anionically polymerizing lactam monomers wherein the foam produced has uniform cell size and improved properties is disclosed. The improvement comprises adding at least one foam stabilizing agent and at least one finely divided, porous substance to the monomers prior to polymerization.
Abstract:
A beta-alkoxy-omega-lactam is prepared by subjecting to heating in the liquid phase an omega-amino-beta-alkoxy-carboxylic acid ester. The heating may be carried out at a temperature of 150* to 350*C. If the amino compound is prepared by hydrogenation of the corresponding cyano compound, it is not necessary to separate the amino compound from the reaction mixture. The lactams obtained may be applied for preparation of polyamides and copolyamides.
Abstract:
Epsilon -CAPROLACTAM IS RECOVERED FROM A Beckmann rearrangement mixture of the lactam and aqueous sulfuric acid by simultaneously neutralizing the rearrangement mixture with ammonia at a pressure of 1-5 atmospheres and crystallizing out ammonium sulfate, the heat liberated by the neutralization reaction is removed from the system by evaporating a portion of the water from the solution. At the conditions employed hydrolysis of the lactam is substantially reduced if not entirely avoided.
Abstract:
A process is disclosed for the preparation of lysine and lysine compounds wherein a mixture of 5-(3-cyanopropyl)-hydantoin and 1ureido-4-cyanovaleramide is obtained and hydrogenated in the presence of a catalyst to a mixture of 5-(4-aminobutyl)-hydantoin and 1-ureido-5-aminocapronamide, which in turn is hydrolyzed to lysine or a lysine compound.
Abstract:
Block copolymers of the general configuration A-B-C- and B-C are prepared according to the process disclosed by preparing by means of a lithium based anionic initiator a polymer form a conjugated diene having at least one terminal dienyl anion. Said polymer may optionally have a non-elastomeric polymer block A attached thereto. The said polymer is reacted with a compound CH2 R1R2 such as diphenyl ethylene and subsequently with a 1-alkylethylene-carboxylic acid ester. Illustrative are poly(methyl methacrylate)-polydiene-poly(methyl methacrylate) block copolymers. Blockcopolymers so obtained are soluble in several organic solvents. Novel block copolymers are also disclosed.

The present invention relates to the preparation of sulphurcurable polymers of ethylene, at least one other Alpha -alkene and at least one poly-unsaturated compound, using a catalyst prepared from an aluminium-halogen compound, e.g. an aluminium trihalide or an hydrocarbylaluminium halide, a transition metal compound, an alkyl or cyclo-alkyl magnesium compound and optionally an activator.
Abstract:
A process for manufacturing urea by reacting ammonia and carbon dioxyde is described wherein the ammonium carbamate present in the synthesis effluent is decomposed under high pressure, the gas mixture resulting therefrom is at least partially condensed under a high pressure and the gas-liquid mixture produced in the condensation zone is introduced into the synthesis zone. The ammonia and carbon dioxyde still present in the synthesis solution after the high pressure decomposing of the ammonium carbamate are removed under a low pressure whereby an ammonium carbamate solution is produced, which is used as a washing agent for recovering ammonia and carbon dioxyde from an inerts containing gas mixture discharged from the synthesis zone. The wash solution thus obtained is introduced into the condensation zone, together with a quantity of urea containing solution from the synthesis zone, by means of a jet pump driven by fresh ammonia.
Abstract:
Lactams are recovered from a solution of one or more lactams and sulfuric acid in an organic solvent after neutralization with ammonia or an ammonium salt and water without the simultaneous coproduction of solid ammonium sulfate according to the disclosed process. Ammonium hydrogen sulfate produced in the neutralization step is removed in the solution form, preferably concentrated to about 80 per cent by weight and the lactam is recovered from the organic solvent. Removing the ammonium hydrogen sulfate in the solution form rather than a solid avoids crystallization and deposition of the salt onto the surfaces of processing equipment.
Abstract:
Coumarin, a useful flavoring agent resembling vanilla beans, is produced by contacting dihydrocoumarin with a small quantity of a dehydrogenation catalyst such as palladium or platinum at elevated temperatures, optionally in the presence of oxygen. The alkylated dihydrocoumarin compounds may also be processed according to the disclosed procedure to produce the corresponding alkyl substituted products.
