Abstract:
In a thermal separating process between at least one gaseous and at least one liquid stream, of which at least one comprises (meth)acrylic monomers, in a separating column containing sieve trays as separating internals, at least some of the sieve trays are operated above an entrainment fraction of 10% by weight.
Abstract:
Organic compounds are prepared by heterogeneously catalyzed partial gas-phase oxidation of precursor compounds by a process in which a portion of the reaction gas starting mixture is brought from a low initial pressure to a higher final pressure by means of a radial compressor.
Abstract:
A process for cleaning apparatus in which (meth)acrylic acid-containing organic solvents have been treated and/or generated and contain fouling and/or polymer and residues of organic solvent, in which the apparatus contents are subjected to a steam distillation in the apparatus.
Abstract:
Thermal separating process between at least one gaseous and at least one liquid stream, of which at least one comprises (meth)acrylic monomers, in a separating column whose separating internals are mass transfer trays, in which the liquid stream is polymerization-inhibited and used for spraying the surface of the separating column, and internal surfaces which are in the shadow region of the spraying are removed from the shadow region by covering.
Abstract:
The present invention describes a process for preparing (meth)acrylic esters by acid-catalyzed esterification of (meth)acrylic acid or by transesterification of (meth)acrylic esters with alcohols, by adding the (meth)acrylic acid or the (meth)acrylic ester at a metering rate of less than 250 g per hour and liter of reactor volume and/or using at least 0.2 mmol of polymerization inhibitor per kg of alcohol and per meq/kg of peroxid number of the alcohol determined by the Sully method and/or thermally treating the alcohol in the absence of water before the esterification or transesterification.
Abstract:
Noninvasive process for inline and/or online determination of polymer deposited from (meth)acrylic acid and/or (meth)acrylic esters by means of sound velocity measurements, measurements of the absorption coefficients in the infrared, near infrared, ultraviolet and/or visible region of the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation, or Raman spectroscopy, which allows precise control of the process parameters to be carried out during the thermal purification.
