Abstract:
An aqueous solution of a resin glue comprising formaldehyde, urea, melamine and phenol is obtained when phenol, formaldehyde and not more than 0.35 mole of an alkali metal bisulfite per mole of phenol are reacted to give a phenol-formaldehyde condensate, formaldehyde and urea in a molar ratio of not more than 2.5 are reacted to give a urea-formaldehyde condensate, and the reaction products are in turn reacted with melamine and formaldehyde.
Abstract:
Manufacture of formaldehyde by oxidative dehydrogenation of methanol in the presence of a silver catalyst using methanol obtained from a condensate derived from the evaporation of aqueous reaction mixtures in the synthesis of urea resins and then treated with caustic soda solution under specific conditions of temperature, pressure, residence time and initial formaldehyde concentration. The formaldehyde obtained is a disinfectant, tanning agent, reducing agent and starting material for the manufacture of synthetic resins, adhesives and plastics.
Abstract:
The production of formaldehyde by oxidizing dehydrogenation of methanol in the presence of a silver catalyst which consists of three or more layers each of specific weight and particles of specific particle size and having a specific total layer thickness. Formaldehyde prepared according to the process of the invention is a disinfectant, tanning agent, reducing agent and valuable starting material for the production of synthetic resins, adhesives and plastics.
Abstract:
The manufacture of formaldehyde by oxidative dehydrogenation of crude methanol in the presence of a silver catalyst, the crude methanol being caused to impinge against baffle plates before the reaction takes place, the impurities which separate at the baffle plates being collected. The formaldehyde manufactured by the process of the invention is valuable as a disinfectant, tanning agent, reducing agent and intermediate in the manufacture of synthetic resins, adhesives and plastics.
Abstract:
Calcium propionate is prepared by passing a vaporous mixture of propionic acid and water into an aqueous solution containing calcium propionate and calcium hydroxide, with or without propionic acid.

Abstract:
Stabilized, aqueous formaldehyde solutions and a process for their manufacture by addition of isophthalobis-guanamine and/or terephthalo-bis-guanamine. The formaldehyde solution of the invention is used as a disinfectant, tanning agent or reducing agent, and as a starting material for the manufacture of synthetic resins, adhesives and plastics.
Abstract:
Manufacture of formaldehyde by oxidative dehydrogenation of methanol in the presence of a silver catalyst, wherein methanol and water are evaporated in the presence of air in a plate column containing a number of double plates each consisting of a sieve plate and a lower plate having the form of a shallow bowl and inclined at a specific angle to the horizontal, the resulting vaporous mixture then being reacted. The formaldehyde which may be produced by the process of the invention is a disinfectant, tanning agent, reducing agent and a valuable starting material for the manufacture of synthetic resins, adhesives and plastics.
