Abstract:
PRODUCTION OF CYANURIC ACID FROM UREA AND/OR BIURET AT ELEVATED TEMPERATURE USING AN UNSUBSITUTED OR SUBSTITUTED N-CYCLOHEXYLPYRROLIDONE AS SOLVENT.
Abstract:
A process for the production of cyanuric acid in which urea and an inert solvent are passed into a reaction zone in which pyrolysis of the urea with the formation of cyanuric acid takes place at 200 DEG to 300 DEG C, from 50 to 760 mm and a space-time yield of from 0.1 to 2 kg of cyanuric acid per liter of reaction volume per hour, and the cyanuric acid is separated in a crystal separation zone and freed from solvent in a falling film evaporator.
Abstract:
A process for continuous production of b -chloroethane sulphochloride comprises continuously passing ethyl chloride, sulphur dioxide and chlorine into a mixture of b -chloroethane sulphochloride, 1,1-dichloroethane, ethyl chloride and sulphur dioxide, and irradiating the mixture, then fractionally distilling it, unreacted materials being returned to the reactor. Suitable radiation is provided by an incandescent lamp of high luminous intensity, a mercury vapour lamp, or any other source of actinic radiation. The initial mixture preferably contains at least 20% of product in order to facilitate solution of sulphur dioxide. The chlorine is supplied in amount such that it is completely used up during irradiation. Reaction temperatures are preferably between -10 and +10 DEG C. An example gives details of the process, in which the mixture is circulated through vertical and horizontal tubes, the sulphur dioxide and ethyl chloride being introduced into the bottom of the upward limb, the chlorine a little higher, all dissolving completely before being irradiated with UV light. After irradiation, hydrogen chloride is removed from the top of the apparatus, and excess sulphur dioxide and ethyl chloride separated and returned to the reactor. Reaction mixture is removed at a rate corresponding to the input of reactants, and is fractionally distilled, sulphur dioxide and ethyl chloride and any 1,1-dichloroethane being returned to the circulating liquid.
Abstract:
Regular copolycarbonates are made by reacting a bis-chlorocarbonic acid ester of a diol with a dihydric phenol in aqueous alkaline medium, preferably sodium or potassium hydroxide solution. Specified diols are ethylene glycol, 1,4-butane diol, 1,6-hexane diol, 2,5-hexane diol, 1,8-octane diol, hexahydrohydroquinone, dimethylolcyclohexane, p.p1-dimethylol dicyclohexyl, p.p1-dimethyllol dicyclohexyl-sulphide, -sulphone or -ether, terphthalic alcohol, p.p.1 -dimethyloldiphenyl, p.p1-dimethyloldiphenylmethane,-propane, -sulphide, -sulphone orether, di-(hydroxyethoxy)-diphenylmethane, bis(hydroxyethyl-4-oxyphenyl)-dimethyl methane, 1,4-hexene-diol, butine-diol and hexadi-inediol. Specified dihydric phenols are hydroquinone, resorcinol, pyrocatechol, 4,41-dihydroxdiphenyl sulphone, (4,41-dihydroxydiphenyl)-methane, 1,1-(4,41-dihydroxydiphenyl)-cyclohexane, 3,4-(4,41-dihydroxydiphenyl-hexane, 2,2-(4,41-dihydroxydiphenyl)-propane, 1,1-(4,4-dihydroxydiphenyl)-1-phenylethane, 2,2-(2,21-dihydroxy4.41-ditertiary butyldiphenyl)-propane and 1,1-(4,41-dihydroxy-3,31-dimethyloldiphenyl) -cyclohexane. The reaction may be effected in the presence of an inert organic liquid which dissolves the polycarbonate e.g. hexane, octane, petroleum ether, gasoline, benzene, toluene, tylene, cyclohexane, methylene chloride, ethylene chloride, tetrachloroethene, chloroform dichlorobutane or chlorobenzene. Catalyst for the reaction are tertiary amines and quarternary ammonium salts. The polycarbonates are suitable for the manufacture of foils, films and threads. Examples describe the manufacture of poly-carbonates from (1) bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-dimethylmethane and the bischlorocarbonate of 1,4-butane diol (2) hydroquinone and the bis-chlorocarbonate of 1,6-hexane diol; (4), (5), (7) and (8) (4,41-dihydroxydiphenyl)-dimethylmethane and the bis-chlorocarbonates of 1,6-hexane diol, di-hydroxyethylated (4,41-dihydroxydiphenyl)-dimethyl methane, butene-diol or cyclohexanediol-1,4; (6) (4,41-dihydroxydiphenyl)-methane, 4,41-dihydroxydiphenylsulphone and the bischlorocarbonate of 1,4-butane diol.
