Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for operating a hydraulic wash column, in which the position of the wash front in the wash column is determined by means of the rate of flow of the control liquor conducted into the wash column and/or by means of the rate of flow of the suspension conducted into the wash column, and the rate of flow is defined with the aid of the difference in pressure between points in the suspension zone located upstream of the wash front and points in the zone extending from the wash front to the end of the crystal bed in the column.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for processing (meth)acrylic acid in the presence of at least one stabilising agent. A mixture which contains the stabilising agent and is essentially devoid of (meth)acrylic acid and arising from the processing is introduced into a distilling device, and a low boiling flow which contains the stabilising agent and which is obtained from mixture is reintroduced into the preparation.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a multi-tube fixed-bed reactor and to the use of a reactor of this type for carrying out catalytic gas phase reactions, especially for carrying out exothermic or endothermic catalytic gas phase reactions such as producing phthalic anhydride (PSA), acrylic acid (AA), methacrylic acid (MAA), acrolein, maleic anhydride (MSA), glyoxal, phosgene, hydrogen cyanide or vinyl formamide (VFA). According to the invention, in the case of larger reactors where a considerable reaction heat is produced or required and must be dissipated as a result of the numerous reaction tubes (17), the ratio of tube distribution t to tube outer diameter d?a? is made dependant on the reactor diameter or the tube bundle diameter d?RBa?. If the outer diameter of the reaction tube bundle (18) is more than 4 metres, a ratio of tube distribution t to tube outer diameter d?a? of at least 1.3 is preferred.

Abstract:
In the production process for acrylic acid through catalytic vapour-phase oxidation of propene, acrylic acid is separated from the vapour-phase oxidation reaction mixture by means of an absorbing agent containing diphenyl, diphenyl ether or dimethyl phthalate and is also extracted from the vapour-phase oxidation acidic water by means of a solvent containing diphenyl, diphenyl ether or dimethyl phthalate.

Abstract:
A process measures the pressure of a gas phase containing (meth)acrylic acid, the esters and/or nitrites thereof of a rectification and/or absorption column via open drillholes in the column wall and lines from the drillholes to the transducers by purging the lines with an oxygen-containing gas in the direction toward the open drillhole.
