Abstract:
A process for preparing an ester of (meth)acrylic acid or a derivative thereof comprises reacting (meth)acrylic acid or a derivative thereof with glycerol carbonate at a reaction temperature of 10 to 150° C. without a solvent in the presence of at least one enzyme catalyzing the esterification reaction.
Abstract:
A process for recharging the reaction tubes of a tube bundle reactor with a new fixed catalyst bed, in which a heterogeneously catalyzed partial gas phase oxidation of an organic compound had been performed beforehand in a preceding fixed catalyst bed comprising Mo-comprising multielement oxide active compositions to form a steam-comprising product gas mixture, in which, before the recharge, solid deposit which had been deposited on the tube inner walls and comprises molybdenum oxide and/or molybdenum oxide hydrate is brushed away with the aid of a brush.
Abstract:
A continuous process for preparing (meth)acrylates of C10-alcohol mixtures by reaction of glacial (meth)acrylic acid with an isomer mixture of C10-alcohols composed of 2-propylheptanol as the main isomer and at least one of the C10-alcohols 2-propyl-4-methylhexanol, 2-propyl-5-methylhexanol, 2-isopropylheptanol, 2-isopropyl-4-methylhexanol, 2-isopropyl-5-methylhexanol and/or 2-propyl-4,4-dimethylpentanol, and the use of a diester of dicarboxylic acids which have been esterified with N-oxyl-containing compounds as polymerization inhibitors in such a process.
