Abstract:
A biodiesel fuel mixture having a cetane number of >40, comprising a) from 1 to 100% by weight of biodiesel, b) from 0 to 98.9% by weight of diesel oil of fossil origin, c) from 0.1 to 20% by weight of polyoxyalkylene dialkyl ether of the formula RO(CH 2 O) n R in which R is an alkyl group having from 1 to 10 carbon atoms and n=from 2 to 10, and d) from 0 to 5% by weight of further additives.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for the production of isocyanates, preferably diisocyanates and polyisocyanates of the diphenylmethane series (MDI), by reacting an amine with phosgene in the liquid phase or in the gas phase to form the corresponding isocyanates, subsequent removal of the solvent in at least two steps to obtain at least two solvent streams, individual treatment of the at least two solvent streams, and recirculation of at least a portion of the solvent streams.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for preparing light-coloured polyphenylene-polymethylene-polyisocyanate (PMDI), comprising the steps (a) providing carbon monoxide and chlorine, (b) reacting carbon monoxide with chlorine to form phosgene, (c) reacting the phosgene from step (b) with at least one primary amine with the exception of mono- and polyphenylene-polymethylene polyamines with an excess of phosgene to form an at least one isocyanate containing reaction solution, and hydrogen chloride, (d) separating excess phosgene from the isocyanate-containing reaction solution obtained in step (c), (e) providing at least one polyphenylene-polymethylene polyamine, and (f) reacting at least a portion of the phosgene separated in step (d) with the at least one polyphenylene-polymethylene polyamine to form the light-coloured polyphenylene-polymethylene polyisocyanate.
