Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for melting and adhering material to produce three-dimensional objects by means of selective heating via microwave radiation. Unlike selective laser sintering, the present process uses simple microwave radiation commonly available in any household. The selectivity of heating is achieved by applying one or more susceptors to selected regions of a layer composed of a pulverulent substrate, and then heating the susceptor by means of microwave radiation. The heated susceptor transfers the energy present therein to a pulverulent substrate surrounding the susceptor, and the substrate is thereby melted, providing firm adhesion within the substrate after cooling.

Abstract:
A process for depositing a solid (B) proceeds by targeted thermal decomposition of a gaseous substance (A). The substance (A) has a higher density than the gaseous product (C) formed during the decomposition. In the process, a device is used which has a cup (1), the base (1.1) of which is oriented in the direction of the force of gravity (g) and the opening region (1.2) of which is oriented in the opposite direction to the force of gravity (g). The cup (1) can be heated directly or indirectly by a heating, temperature-measuring and control unit (3.3). The device further contains a substance-adding unit (2) with substance feedline (3.1) and metering unit (3.2), the substance-adding unit (2) being oriented with the substance outlet (2.1) in the direction of the force of gravity (g) and projecting into the free volume of the cup (1) between the base (1.1) and opening region (1.2). The device also has a reactor casing (3) and an outlet (3.6) for gaseous product (C). The process and device are used, for example, to produce bodies of high-purity polycrystalline silicon in ingot form by controlled thermal decomposition of monosilane.

Abstract:
An oxime is synthesized by ammoximation of a carbonyl compound. In stage (i) of the process, a carbonyl compound containing 6 to 20 C atoms is reacted with ammonia and hydrogen peroxide in the presence of a) an organic solvent that is a1) at least partly water-soluble, a2) stable under ammoximation conditions, a3) has a boiling point of higher than 100null C. and/or is capable of forming a two-phase azeotrope with water, and b) a titanium-containing heterogeneous catalyst. After the reaction, the catalyst is separated from the reaction mixture. The oxime is crystallized and separated from the reaction mixture. Water is removed from the remaining mother liquor, provided the mother liquor is a two-phase system in which one of the phases is an aqueous phase. Water or a water-containing two-phase azeotrope is distilled off from the mother liquor, while the distillation bottoms and, optionally, the predominantly organic phase of the azeotrope are recycled to stage (i).
