Abstract:
A process for preparing polyphenylene ethers from monohydric phenols which have alkyl substituents in both ortho positions and possibly also in one meta position but not in the para position, by oxidative coupling with oxygen-containing gases in the presence of an oxidation catalyst and of an electrically conducting compound which counteracts the electrostatic charge in the reaction mixture, in organic solution, comprises using as electrically conducting compound a salt of a carboxamide derivative of the formula I I or mixtures of such salts, where R1 is a saturated or singly or multiply unsaturated aliphatic group which can have a terminal phenyl group and which contains a total of 8-30 carbon atoms, it also being possible for these carbon atoms to be interrupted by isolated oxygen atoms, R2 is hydrogen or C1-C4-alkyl, A is an aliphatic, araliphatic or cycloaliphatic or aromatic bridge of up to 10 carbon atoms, n and m are each 1 to 3, Q(+) is ammonium, an alkali metal cation or the equivalent of an alkaline earth metal cation or a cation of a metal of groups IVb to VIIb of the periodic table.

Abstract:
A horizontal solid-bed polymerization reactor which is divided into a plurality of zones, for example a reaction zone, an after-reaction zone, a heating zone and a product discharge zone and possesses inlet and outlet openings for feeding substances into the zones and/or removing substances from the zones, the zones being separated from one another over a part of the reactor cross-section by means of weirs, wherein two drive shafts which are independent of one another and possess mixing elements are introduced into the solid-bed polymerization reactor in the middle.
Abstract:
A process for the preparation of pulverulent polymers based on water-soluble, ethylenically unsaturated monomers by polymerising acid group-containing monomers dissolved in water in a powder bed in the presence of conventional polymerisation initiators while maintaining the powder state, dissipating the heat of polymerisation by removing the solvent by distillation and circulating the reaction mass, where from 40 to 95% of the acid groups of the monomers are neutralised and the polymerisation is carried out in the presence of from 3 to 10 mol %, based on the monomers, of 2-mercaptoethanol as regulator. The homopolymers and copolymers obtained in this way are used as grinding auxiliaries and dispersants for pigments and as encrustation inhibitors and antigreying agents (antiredeposition agents) for detergents.
Abstract:
A process for the preparation of pulverulent polymers based on water-soluble, ethylenically unsaturated monomers by polymerising monomers containing acid groups which are dissolved in a monohydric C1- to C8-alcohol, dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulphoxide or water, in a powder bed in the presence of conventional polymerisation initiators while maintaining the powder state, dissipating the heat of polymerisation by removing the solvent by distillation, and circulating the reaction material, where from 40 to 95% of the acid groups of the monomers have been neutralised and the polymerisation is carried out in the presence of from 3 to 10 mol %, based on the monomers, of a thiocarboxylic acid, a metal salt or chelate or an enol ether as regulator. The resultant homopolymers and copolymers are used as grinding aids and dispersants for pigments and as an encrustation inhibitor and antiredeposition agent (antigreying agent) for detergents.
Abstract:
Process for preparing polymers of acrylic acid and methacrylic acid in powder form by polymerising (a) 100 to 70 % by weight of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid or mixtures of acrylic acid and methacrylic acid and (b) 0 to 30 % by weight of vinylsulfonic acid or alkali metal salts thereof in monohydric C1- to C8-alcohols, water or mixtures of these solvents in a powder bed in the presence of polymerisation initiators and - in each case based on the monomers employed in the polymerisation, 0.05 to 10 mol.% of a thiocarboxylic acid and/or of a mercapto alcohol and 0.05 to 10 mol.% of propionic acid or formic acid as regulator, while maintaining the powder state during the polymerisation, dissipating the heat of polymerisation by removing the solvent by distillation, and circulating the reaction mixture.
Abstract:
Water-soluble polymer powders are prepared by polymerizing water-soluble ethylenically unsaturated monomers in a powder bed in the presence of polymerization initiators and water while maintaining the powder state, removing the heat of polymerization by distilling off water and circulating the reaction mixture, by a process in which water-insoluble organic peroxides which are liquid at 20 DEG C. are used alone or as a mixture with up to 50% by weight, based on the initiator mixture, of water-soluble, organic azo initiators and/or water-insoluble solid peroxy-containing compounds, as polymerization initiators.
