Abstract:
A multi-stage method is disclosed whereby isoprene of high purity is recovered from mixtures of C5 hydrocarbons containing it, wherein the mixture is subjected to a first extractive distillation stage in the presence of a solvent, such as morpholine and N-formyl-morpholine, containing water and in which olefinic and saturated hydrocarbons are withdrawn as a top product; a second extractive distillation stage effects the withdrawal of the major part of the cyclopentadiene and acetylene compounds present in the bottom product of the first stage as a sidestream and said solvent constitutes a bottom product for recycling to said first and second stage; in a third extractive distillation stage the top product of the second stage is treated with solvent containing water, fed to the third stage from a stripper and then recycled as bottom product to said stripper; and, in a rectification stage, isoprene of desired purity is recovered from the overhead product of the third extractive distillation stage.
Abstract:

Abstract:
A process for the synthesis of urea starting from ammonia and carbon dioxide, comprising a reaction step carried out in at least two distinct operating zones basically at the same pressure, but having a different operating temperature, the difference being preferably between 5 and 60 DEG C, and subsequent separation steps of the non-converted reagents, wherein a gaseous stream is transferred from the first zone, at a higher temperature, to the second zone, at a lower temperature, and a liquid stream, containing urea and/or ammonium carbamate, is transferred from the second zone to the first, so that said gaseous stream is preferably at least 5% by weight with respect to the stream effluent from the first zone to the subsequent separation steps. This process allows a ratio urea/(urea+carbamate), in the stream leaving said reaction step, of more than 70%, to be obtained.

Abstract:
A frame for seat of stuffed furniture, comprising an essentially flat frame (1) to which, on the upper side, a plurality of parallel belts (5) connecting two opposite sides of the frame, and on the lower side, a plurality of belts (7) at right angle to the preceding, connecting the two other sides, being provided for elastic elements interposed among said belts, just close to the cross areas of the same, are fixed. The frame preferably offers an essentially flat framework consisting of U-shaped metallic structural shapes (2) with the wings facing outwards, with wood-strips (4) inserted into the wings of said U-shaped metallic structural shapes (2), being the belts (5,7) fixed respectively to the upper and lower surface of the strips.
Abstract:
Improved yield process for urea synthesis by starting from ammonia and carbon dioxide, comprising a reaction zone under high pressure and temperature conditions, a section wherein a portion of unreacted ammonia and carbon dioxide are stripped and recycled to the reactor, which section operates under substantially the same reactor pressure, and a subsequent section, operating under medium and/or low pressure conditions, for urea purification and simultaneous recovery of residual carbon dioxide and a portion of residual ammonia contained in the effluent stream from the stripping section, as an aqueous solution of ammonium carbamate, in which said aqueous ammonium carbamate solution is either totally or partially fed to said stripping section. Said process makes it possible a conversion of carbon dioxide into urea to be obtained in the reactor which is higher than 70%.
