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:
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.
