    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain α-tocopherol (vitamin E) important as an antioxidant in the field of nutrition without causing grave waste-water problem from trimethylhydroquinone, etc., by recycling a zinc halide condensation catalyst. SOLUTION: The subject compound is produced by reacting 2,3,5- trimethylhydroquinone with phytol or isophytol in the presence of zinc chloride or zinc bromide and a proton donor such as a mineral acid or toluensulfonic acid. The reaction is carried out in a nonpolar solvent scarcely miscible with water and zinc chloride, etc., are introduced into the reaction system as a mixture of 1mol of the zinc chloride, etc., and 1-4mol of water, separated after the completion of reaction and recycled to the reaction system optionally after concentrating or replenishing to a concentration of about 60-90wt.%.

    Abstract: 2,5,6-trimethyl-cyclohex-2-en-1-one (I) is prepared by continuously pumping diethylketone (II), crotonaldehyde (III) and an aqueous strong base through a pressure vessel in such a fashion that the reaction temperature is 150-350 degrees C and the average residence time in the pressure vessel is only 0.1 seconds to 20 minutes. Preparation of 2,5,6-trimethyl-cyclohex-2-en-1-one (I) comprises reaction of (i) diethylketone (II) with (ii) crotonaldehyde (III) (or a compound which is converted to (III) under the selected reaction conditions), in the presence of basic agents, at elevated temperatures. Component (ii) (1 mol), component (i) (5-30 mol) and an aqueous solution or suspension of a strong base are pumped continuously, via separate supply points or in the form of a mixture, into an optionally heated pressure vessel which can guarantee intensive mixing. The components are pumped to the vessel in such a fashion that the reaction temperature is 150-350 degrees C and the average residence time in the pressure vessel is only 0.1 seconds to 20 minutes.

    Abstract: Removing hydrocarbons from the waste liquor of the alkali wash in plants for splitting saturated hydrocarbons comprises counter-currently contacting the waste liquor in a cascading plate column (20) with a stripping gas which absorbs the hydrocarbons. An Independent claim is also included for an apparatus for removing hydrocarbons from the waste liquor of the alkali wash in plants for splitting saturated hydrocarbons. Preferred Features: The waste liquor is fed into the column via bent cascade plates (21). The stripping gas is a fuel gas containing methane. Long chain hydrocarbons such as C5+-hydrocarbons and aromatics such as benzene are removed.
