摘要:
High purity, crystalline adduct of bisphenol A and phenol is produced multi-stage crystallization of a phenolic slurry of bisphenol A with a crystal separation and washing step being interposed between each of the two stages. Each of the crystallization stage includes a series of crystallization towers operated at decreasing temperatures. The crystallization of the slurry is performed by continuously discharging a portion of the slurry from each of the crystallization towers, introducing the discharged slurry into one or more coolers and then recycling the cooled slurry to the tower. Another portion of the slurry in each crystallization slurry is continuously discharged, heated for dissolving fine crystals of the adduct and then recycled to the crystallization tower so that large crystals are grown in each of the crystallization steps. An apparatus having a plurality of coolers and suitable for effecting the above crystallization is also disclosed.
摘要:
High quality bisphenol A is produced from a neutral crystalline adduct of bisphenol A and phenol by fusing the adduct in an atmosphere having a maximum oxygen content of 0.005 % by volume, followed by evaporation of liberated phenol. The crystalline adduct may be mixed with an aliphatic carboxylic acid before the fusion to reduce the coloring of the product. When an acidic crystalline adduct is used, the use of a strong alkali salt of an aliphatic carboxylic acid is suitably used. Interior surfaces of the apparatuses for carrying out the fusion and evaporation are desirably washed with an organic solvent to remove oxygen therefrom. The evaporation of phenol is suitably performed by two stage steam stripping wherein a used stripping gas obtained in the second stage is employed as a stripping gas in the first stage while steam is used as the stripping gas in the second stage.

The invention relates to a process for preparing prilled bisphenol A by granulation which comprises adding compounds soluble in molten bisphenol A, not affecting adversely the melt color of bisphenol A to any significant extent, and have a melting point of 60.degree. C. or more to bisphenol A and granulating and also to a process which comprises adding the reaction mother liquor or cyrstallization mother liquor produced in the manufacturing step of bisphenol A to bisphenol A or the adduct of bispheol A and phenol or a mixture of bispheol A and phenol, removing the phenol, and granulating. The processes yield prilled bispheol A which have high strength and resist powdering.
摘要:
A high quality bisphenol A with a high purity and an excellent hue is produced from a crystalline adduct of bisphenol A and phenol by washing the adduct with specifically purified phenol, followed by decomposition of the washed adduct to separate bisphenol A. The purification is performed by a method including contacting raw material phenol with a strong-acid ion exchange resin to obtain treated phenol, and distilling the treated phenol.

A liquid feed containing methanol, carbon monoxide, an alkyl iodide and a solvent is contacted with a supported rhodium catalyst to produce acetic acid at a temperature of 140.degree.-250.degree. C. and a pressure of 15-60 kg/cm.sup.2 G with a partial pressure of carbon monoxide of 7-30 kg/cm.sup.2 while maintaining (a) the water concentration of the product solution in the range of 0.5-10% by weight and (b) the carbonylation degree C.sub.r, defined in the specification, of the solution within the reactor at 0.15 or more. The solvent may be a carboxylic acid or a carboxylic acid ester.
摘要:
Active carbon catalyst for recovering and removing sulfur oxides contained in flue gas by turning them into sulfuric acid by a catalytic desulfurization reaction. Powdery active carbon and fluororesin are kneaded by shearing force before being molded to a desired profile so that the inter-particulate gaps of powdery active carbon particles are made water-repellent. Flue gas preferably flows downwardly through a tower filled with such an active carbon catalyst, which is made to show a honeycomb structure having surfaces running only in a direction parallel to the flow. The activity of the catalyst maintains an enhanced level if dilute sulfuric acid or water is introduced into the active carbon from the top of the tower to cleanse the surface of the active carbon catalyst so that the catalyst layer is prevented from being clogged and contaminated by ashes and soot contained in flue gas.
摘要:
This invention relates to a process for preparing bisphenol A of good heat stability by heat-treating bisphenol A containing a very small amount of impurities in a molten state at 185.degree. to 220.degree. C. for 5 to 60 minutes in an oxygen-free atmosphere and the process yields bisphenol A of good heat stability which shows reduced coloration when heated. Bisphenol A prepared by this process has excellent properties relating to color and is particularly suitable as raw material for the manufacture of polycarbonates where the requirement for color is strict.
