Abstract:
An improved overall process is provided wherein poly(bisbenzimidazobenzophenanthroline) is formed on an expeditious basis and is recovered from the reaction mass in substantially pure form. Appropriate quantities of 1,4,5,8-tetracarboxy naphthalene dianhydride and 3,3',4,4' -tetraaminobiphenyl are condensed as defined) in a reaction zone while dissolved in molten antimony trichloride, and the resulting reaction mass containing the dissolved product is discharged into a precipitation zone containing hydrochloric acid (as defined). The resulting solid product is separated and dried. The liquid portion which is separated from the solid product contains antimony trichloride dissolved in hydrochloric acid and is subjected to distillation which substantially separates these components. The antimony trichloride is recycled to the reaction zone, and the hydrochloric acid is recycled to the precipitation zone.
Abstract:
This invention provides a novel permselective polymeric membrane excellent in permselectivity which allows permeation of water in an aqueous solution at a high rate but is highly preventive of permeation of solutes, and a process for the preparation of such permselective membrane, said polymeric membrane consisting essentially of a linear polymer containing N-aryl-substituted-benzimidazole units as the main-chain-constituting units.
Abstract:
A method is disclosed for initiating the polymerization of small amounts of relatively sensitive liquid monomer compositions, comprising esters of cyanoacrylic acid, by means of a polymerization catalyzing particle adapted to be added to the monomer composition and then separated from the same prior to gelation of the monomer. The catalyzing particle may be in the form of a discrete particle such as beads, chips, or the like, or in the form of a rod sufficiently long so that the same can be used to simultaneously stir and activate the monomer.
