Abstract:
Production of aliphatic and cycloaliphatic Alpha -nitroketones in liquid phase by reaction of the corresponding ketones with concentrated nitric acid whose water content is less than 5.0 percent by weight. In principle all aliphatic and cycloaliphatic ketones can be nitrated according to the invention. Examples are diethyl ketone, cyclohexanone and cyclododecanone.
Abstract:
RED PHOSPHORUS IMPREGANTED WITH TRIOXANE IN A WEIGHT RATIO IN THE RANGE OF 80:20 TO 20:80. IN PARTICULAR, A MIXTURE OF FROM 40 TO 60% BY WEIGHT OF PARTICULATE RED PHOSPOHRUS AND FROM 60 TO 40% BY WEIGHT OF TRIOXANE.
Abstract:
A process for the production of cycloalkanone oximes by reaction of cycloalkanones with hydroxylammonium salts or mixtures thereof with ammonium salts and acids in aqueous solution. The free and combined acid is removed from the mixtures by electrodialysis before, during or after the oximation. The reaction of the cycloalkanone to the oxime is preferably carried out in the cathode chamber of an electrodialysis cell. Complete oximation of the cycloalkanone is achieved.
Abstract:
Production of dry sodium dichloroisocyanurate by spray-drying and up to 50 percent w/w aqueous solution or sussion of the salt in a fluidized bed maintained by inert gases and consisting of finely divided dry sodium dichloroisocyanurate, at from 100* to 300*C.
Abstract:
Production of an aqueous solution of hydroxylammonium nitrate by catalytic reduction of nitrogen monoxide with hydrogen in acid solution, a platinum catalyst being used which has been partly poisoned with one or more elements of main groups V and/or VI of the Periodic Table and activated prior to the beginning of the reaction in an aqueous suspension with hydrogen. Nitric acid is continuously supplied during the reaction in an amount necessary for the end concentration of hydroxylammonium nitrate.
Abstract:
1. IN A PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF 1,4-BUTANEDIOLFORMAL WHEREIN A MIXTURE OF BUTANEDIOL-1,4M AN AQUEOUS SOLUTION OF FORMALDEHYDE OT A SUBSTANCE YIELDING FORALDEHYDE, AND AN ACID OR ACID SALT IS HEATED IN A REACTION VESSEL, THE IMPROVEMENT WHICH COMPRISES CONTINUOUSLY (A) HEATING AT THE BOIL A CONSTANT AMOUNT OF SAID REACTION MIXTURE WHICH CONTAINS LESS THAN 1% BY WEIGHT OF A STRONG ACID OR LESS THAN 10% BY WEIGHT OF AN ACID SALT OR A WEAK ACID, (B) EVAPORATING THE PRODUCT OF THE SYNTHESIS FROM THE REACTION MIXTURE AT SUCH A VELOCITY THAT A MEAN RESIDUE TIME IN THE REACTION VESSEL OF LESS THAN 240 MINUTES IS SET UP FOR A REACTION MIXTURE, (C) CONDENSING THE VAPORS OF THE PRODUCT OF THE SYNTHESIS, (D) SEPARATING THE TWO LAYERS WHICH FORM IN A LIQUID CONDENSATE, (E) SUBJECTING THE UPPER LAYER TO TREATMENT WITH ALKALI, PASSING SAID LAYER THROUGH AN EVAPORATOR AND THEREAFTER FRACTIONALLY DISTILLING SAID TREATED LAYER, AND (F) SUBJECTING THE LOWER LAYER TO AZEOTROPIC DISTILLATION AND RECYCLING THE THE DISTILLATE TO THE UNCONDENSED PRODUCT STREAM WHICH LEAVES THE REACTION VESSEL.
