Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for easily oxidizing a starting material, particularly an organic starting material, using an oxidant so as to obtain a product by a technically easy, economical method. SOLUTION: The method for obtaining a product mixture containing cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone by oxidizing cyclohexane using an oxidant comprises a step of carrying out oxidation in a rectifying column, which has a bottom region at its lower end, a top region at its upper end and a reaction zone between the top and bottom regions and has a separation performance of 10-100 in terms of the number of theoretical plates, a step of maintaining the reaction mixture in a boiling state in the reaction zone, and a step of introducing the oxidant into the reaction zone in at least two sub-streams. Here, the oxidation is carried out under a condition wherein the average retention time of a reaction mixture on each plate of the column is 1-120 min and the number of theoretical plates in the upper region of the rectifying column is 5-50.

Abstract:
A process for continuously preparing copolyamides from lactams and salts of diamines and dicarboxylic acids, in which lactams are passed together with salts of diamines and dicarboxylic acids from the top downward through a vertical polymerization tube at polyamide-forming temperatures, is characterized in that a) an aqueous solution of lactams is mixed intensively with salts of diamines and dicarboxylic acids under elevated pressure which is greater than the vapor pressure of the mixture which forms in a mixing apparatus at a temperature of 80 to 300°C, b) the mixture thus obtained is supplied to a heated helical tube evaporator in which a liquid phase and a vapor phase form at a temperature of 140 to 300°C, a stream of steam and/or inert gas optionally being introduced into the mixture upstream of the helical tube, c) the vapor phase formed in stage b) is removed from the liquid phase and separated in a column into steam and into organic components comprising diamines, dicarboxylic acids and lactams, and the organic components are recycled into the polymerization, d) the liquid phase from the helical tube of stage b), mixed with the organic components of stage c), is passed from the top downward through a vertical polymerization tube at polyamide-forming temperatures to obtain a copolyamide.
Abstract:
Helical tube evaporators are used to concentrate aqueous extract solutions from the extraction of polyamides based on polyamide 6. A process for preparing polyamides based on polyamide 6 comprises the stages of b) monophasic or biphasic reaction of aqueous extract solutions from the extraction of polyamides based on polyamide 6, which may be enriched with caprolactam, aminocapronitrile, aminocaproic acid or mixtures thereof, in a prereactor at pressures in the range from 5 to 40 bar and temperatures in the range from 150 to 300° C., the gaseous phase formed being removable from the liquid phase in the case of the biphasic reaction, c) discharge of the reaction mixture from stage b) through a helical tube evaporator at a temperature in the range from 220 to 300° C. with pressure reduction to about atmospheric pressure and removal of a gaseous phase to obtain a liquid phase, d) further reaction of the liquid phase from stage c) at temperatures in the range from 240 to 300° C. and pressures in the range from atmospheric pressure to 2 bar with removal of a gaseous phase.

Abstract:
La invención se relaciona con un proceso para granular fusiones de polímero, a presión superior a la ambiental, en una cámara de granulación hacia la que un aparato cortante se ha insertado en un primer paso, la cámara de granulación se inunda con un gas que es inerte hacia la fusión de polímero y cuya presión es aquella a la que se lleva a cabo el proceso de granulación. La fusión de polímero luego se inyecta hacia la cámara de granulación. Finalmente, el gas se desplaza de la cámara de granulación a través de un líquido tan pronto como la fusión de polímero empieza a fluir a través del aparato cortante, esta fusión siendo cortada en gránulos.
