PURPOSE:To prepare a granular dipeptide sweetener having high purity and excellent fluidity and solubility by spray-drying a slurry of a dipeptide sweetener without using a crushing operation, granulating the dried product and, as necessary, further drying the granules. CONSTITUTION:A slurry liquid containing crystals of an alpha-L-aspartyl-L- phenylalanine lower alkyl ester is spray-dried to obtain a dried product having extremely poor fluidity and containing a large amount of fusiform fine powder of

PURPOSE:To separate metal ions continuously and effectively with a single process by feeding a soln. contg. >=2 kinds of metal ions and complex-forming anions to a multi-cell electrolytic cell installed with an anion exchange membrane and/or a cation exchange membrane as diaphragms and proceeding electrolysis in the cell. CONSTITUTION:A cathode 7 and an anode 8 are disposed to an electrolytic cell 1. A cathode chamber 2, an anode chamber 3, and an intermediate chamber 6 are constituted by arranging alternately a cation exchange membrane 5 and an anion exchanging membrane 4 in the order from the cathode side 7 and arranging the membrane 5 to face the anode. A soln. contg. metal ions and complex-forming ions is fed to the electrolytic cell 1 from the intermediate chamber 6, and a soln. of a salt such as NaCl, etc., is fed from the cathode chamber 2 and the anode chamber 3, to proceed electrolysis. Thus, metal cations in the soln. contg. >=2 kinds of metal ions migrate to the cathode chamber 2 through the cation exchange membrane 5. On one hand, metal complex anions migrate to the anode chamber 3 through the anion exchange membrane 4, but metal ions having small ionic characteristic do not migrate and are left in the chamber 6 in undissociated state. Thus, metal ions are separated.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To obtain aspartame having excellent storage stability and useful as a sweetener, without using high-temperature drying and redrying processes, by drying wet aspartame crystal in air containing more than a specific amount of water. CONSTITUTION:Wet crystal of alpha-L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester is optionally granulated to a granule having a diameter of 1.0-4.0mm and dried in air having an absolute humidity of >=0.015kg/kg to obtain the objective substance. The drying is preferably carried out with an aeration dryer or a fluidizing dryer at
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To suppress formation of type II crystals by drying and obtain the titled compound useful as sweeteners, etc., by granulating wet crystals of alpha-L- aspartyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester under specific condition and drying the resultant granulated crystals. CONSTITUTION:Wet crystals of alpha-L-aspartyl-L-phenyalanine methyl ester are initially granulated to give >=4m /g specific surface area after drying and the resultant granulated crystals are dried, preferably at =4m /g.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hydrogenation catalyst composition which has higher selectivity of hydrogenation reaction than conventional hydrogenation catalyst compositions and generates a small amount of by-products.SOLUTION: A least one compound selected from aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, carboxylic acid esters, and aromatic nitro compounds is hydrogenated using a hydrogenation catalyst composition comprising a diluent and a supported hydrogenation catalyst containing 20-70 wt.% copper.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a catalyst free of a risk of contaminating the environment and of a risk of a health hazard thanks to the absence of an oxide of chromium unlike a prior art copper/chromium-oxide, and moreover exhibiting activity, selectivity and durability equal to or higher than those of a prior art copper/chromium-oxide catalyst. SOLUTION: The hydrogenation catalyst constituted of a composition including (1) copper, (2) at least one species selected from an oxide of silicon, an oxide of calcium, and calcium silicate, and (3) alkali metal in an amount of 0.22 to 2.5 wt.% to the total amount of the hydrogenation catalyst, is characterized by including copper in an amount of 20 to 60 wt.% to the total amount of the hydrogenation catalyst.

Abstract:
A process for producing a halogen-containing ethylbenzene derivative represented by the general formula: (I) where X is a halogen atom, and Y is a nitrile group, a carboxyl group, a lower alkoxycarbonyl group or an amidocarbonyl group, which comprises reacting a vinyl compound represented by the general formula: CH2=CH-Y (II) where Y is as defined above, with a benzenediazonium salt and halogen ions in a solvent mixture comprising a lower alcohol and/or an ether, and water, under an acidic condition with a mineral acid, in the presence of a monovalent copper compound as a catalyst.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To prevent the generation of scaling, by placing a stirring blade of a 1st stirring zone set in a range from the bottom of a tank to specific height, restricting the existing range of the blade within the circumferential part in the tank, setting a 2nd stirring zone above the 1st stirring zone and providing a stirring blade in the 2nd zone. CONSTITUTION:A rotary shaft 3 suspended vertically along the center axis of a reactor 1 is furnished with a stirring blade 4 of a 2nd stirring region l2 and a stirring blade 8 of a 1st stirring zone l1. There is no blade at the rotary center part of the stirring blade 8 and the rotational speed is maintained nearly the same level over the whole range in the radial direction of the leg 6 and the arm 7.
