Abstract:
One or more fluid streams are uniformly divided into two or more partial fluid streams in chemical apparatuses in a manner such that there is a reduced tendency to form deposits. Division of such stream(s) is achieved by using a distributor device that includes at least one plate having two or more openings which openings are rounded or chamfered on at least one side.
Abstract:
Aromatic isocyanates are produced by reacting one or more aromatic primary amines with phosgene in the gas phase. The phosgene and primary aromatic amine(s) are reacted at a temperature above the boiling temperature of the amine(s) in a reactor having a reaction space which is essentially rotationally symmetric to the direction of flow. The flow fate, averaged over the cross-section, of the reaction mixture along the axis of the essentially rotationally symmetric reaction space in the section of the reaction space in which the conversion of the amine groups into isocyanate groups is between 4 and 80% is not more than 8 m/sec. The flow rate averaged over the cross-section of the reaction mixture along the axis of the essentially rotationally symmetric reaction space in the section of the reaction space in which the conversion of the amine groups into isocyanate groups is 4 to 80% is always below the flow rate averaged over the cross-section at the start of this section.
Abstract:
With the extraction method, a material exchange column with an ordered packing 2a or 2b on the basis of a plurality of layers 3 stacked parallel to the column axis and making point contact with one another is used. The packing 2a, 2b is perfused by a continuous and a dispersed phase in a counter current. The packing has a very large specific surface area of at least 300 m.sup.2 /m.sup.3 of packing volume. At the periphery of the packing 2a, 2b, the two phase streams are re-circulated into the packing at regular intervals through a rim seal composed of an elastic material not wettable by the dispersed phase. The rim seal is placed round the packing in the form of an elastic tube or pipe and seals the intermediate space between the internal column wall and the packing. A further improvement in the separating capacity can be achieved if pulsating operation is adopted. The method is characterized, in particular, in that an approximately constant high separating capacity is achieved with a high throughput per unit area over a relatively large loading tolerance of the column.
Abstract:
Primary isocyanates are produced by reacting the corresponding primary amine(s) with phosgene at a temperature above the boiling temperature of the amine(s) in a tube reactor with a reaction space. In this tube reactor, at least one educt stream P containing phosgene and at least one educt stream A containing the amine(s) are fed to the reaction space via a nozzle arrangement. The nozzle arrangement includes a number of n≧1 nozzles aligned parallel to the axis of rotation of the tube reactor and a free space surrounding the nozzles. One of the educt streams A or P is fed to the reaction space via the nozzles and the other educt stream is fed to the reaction space via the free space surrounding the nozzles. The reaction space contains at least one moving mixing device.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of toluenediamine, in which dinitrotoluene is reacted with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst. The dinitrotoluene required by this process has a content of carbon dioxide, in either physically dissolved or chemically bonded form, of not more than 0.175 mol %, based on the molar amount of the dinitrotoluene.
Abstract:
Isocyanates are produced by reaction of primary amines with phosgene in the gas phase. In this process, the reaction is terminated by guiding the reaction mixture from the reaction chamber through a cooling stretch into which liquids are injected. Direct cooling takes place in the cooling stretch in one stage in two or more cooling zones connected in series.
