Abstract:
It has been found that in sol-gel processes utilizing TMAH, it is possible to treat a trimethylamine (TRIMA)-containing solution with hydrogen peroxide to form trimethylamine oxide - (CH 3 ) 3 N + -O- (TRIMAO), a water soluble compound which is less volatile and less odorous than TRIMA, and which is capable of being sent to a standard wastewater treatment plant. The hydrogen peroxide is generally added to the TRIMA-containing solution in a H 2 O 2 :TRIMA ratio of at least 3:1, advantageously at least 10:1. Because of the resultant TRIMAO solution's ability to be sent to a standard wastewater treatment facility, improved productivity and lowered expense of the overall fiber fabrication process are obtained. The invention is also suitable for treatment of triethylamine.

Abstract translation:已经发现,在使用TMAH的溶胶 - 凝胶方法中,可以用过氧化氢处理含有三甲胺(TRIMA)的溶液以形成三甲胺氧化物 - (CH 3)3 N + -O-(TRIMAO),其为水溶性化合物 比TRIMA具有更低的挥发性和更低的臭味,并且能够被送到标准的污水处理厂。 过氧化氢通常以至少3:1,有利地至少10:1的H 2 O 2:TRIMA比率加入到含TRIMA的溶液中。 由于所得到的TRIMAO解决方案能够发送到标准废水处理设施,因此可以提高生产率并降低整个纤维制造过程的成本。 本发明也适用于三乙胺的处理。
