Abstract: A process for producing acetonitrile, the process comprising: treating a feedstock stream comprising methanol, allyl alcohol, oxazole, acetonitrile, water, and hydrogen cyanide to remove hydrogen cyanide and produce an acetonitrile stream comprising less than 1 wt.% hydrogen cyanide. The process further comprises the step of distilling the acetonitrile stream in a first distillation column to produce a first distillate comprising oxazole and methanol; a first intermediate acetonitrile stream comprising acetonitrile and oxazole and less than 1 wt% allyl alcohol; a first bottoms stream comprising allyl alcohol and water. The process further comprises the step of purifying the first intermediate acetonitrile stream to produce an acetonitrile product stream and a recycle stream comprising allyl alcohol.

Abstract: Provided herein are polyamide compositions including one or more semi-crystalline polyamides and either an amorphous polyamide or a semi-crystalline copolyamide such as PA66/6. The provided compositions are particularly useful as vibration isolators more effective at high-temperature noise and harshness damping than conventional polyamide compositions. Also provided are methods for making the provided compositions, and articles that include the provided compositions.

Abstract: Provided herein are processes for purifying TCH in a feed stream, such as an adiponitrile process stream. The processes include a first separating step of separating the adiponitrile process stream to form a first overhead stream comprising low-boiling components and high- boiling components and a first bottoms stream comprising high-boiling components. The processes also include a second separating step of separating the first overhead stream in one or more distillation columns to form a lights stream comprising low-boiling components, a heavies stream comprising high-boiling components, and a TCH stream.

Abstract: A method for tuning characteristics of a polyamide nanofiber nonwoven comprising the step of targeting a specific average nanofiber diameter and/or a specific relative viscosity for the polyamide nanofiber nonwoven. The specific average nanofiber diameter is within a range from 100 nm to 1000 nm and/or the specific relative viscosity is within a range from 5 to 75, e.g., from 15 to 50. The process further comprises the steps of extruding a polyamide composition having a moisture content with a pressurized gas through a fiber forming channel having a channel temperature to form the polyamide nanofiber nonwoven having the target average nanofiber diameter and/or relative viscosity and controlling the moisture content, the pressure of pressurized gas, and/or the channel temperature based on the specific average nanofiber diameter and/or the specific relative viscosity.
