Abstract:
A mixture consisting substantially of caprolactam and water is heated for 30 minutes or shorter to obtain a polyamide prepolymer having an amino group content of 0.1 mmol/g or higher and a cyclic oligomer content of 0.6 wt.% or lower. An aqueous caprolactam solution having a water content of 2 to 20 wt.% is heated under pressure at 200 to 330°C for 1 to 30 minutes to obtain a polyamide prepolymer having an amino group content of 0.1 mmol/g or higher and a cyclic oligomer content of 0.6 wt.% or lower.

Abstract:
PURPOSE:To separate fine powder granules and pellets without specifically installing a collision part by making a hopper be cylindrical and conical and making pellets which contain fine powder granules and flow in together with a carrier gas through a supplying pipe come into collision with each other and diffuse in the hopper. CONSTITUTION:This fine powder granule separating and removing apparatus for polymer pellets is an apparatus composed of a cylindrical and conical hopper 3 whose lower side has a conical or pyramidal shape, a supplying pipe 4 to be inserted into the hopper from the upper side of the hopper, and a discharge pipe 5 in the bottom part of the hopper and a gas evacuating pipe 6 installed in the upper part of the hopper and this fine powder granule separating and removing method is a method for which the apparatus is employed.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing a polyether-ester-amide having excellent appearance and color. SOLUTION: The method for producing the polyether-ester-amide uses a diol compound having ≤1.40 mg-KOH/g acid value as a component (b) when producing the polyether-ester-amide by polymerizing (a) a ≥6C aminocarboxylic acid, a ≥6C lactam or a total ≥6C salt synthesized from a diamine and a dicarboxylic acid, (b) one or more kinds of the diol compounds selected from formulas (I) to (IV) (wherein, R 1 and R 2 are each at least one of an ethylene oxide group and a propylene oxide group; Y is a covalent bond, a 1-6C alkylene group or the like; and X 1 to X 12 are each hydrogen, a 1-6C alkyl group, a halogen group, a sulfonic acid group or a metal salt thereof), and (c) a 4-20C dicarboxylic acid.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a continuous processing method and an apparatus for a thermoplastic material to obtain a high-quality thermoplastic material by preventing funnel flow and enabling fluidized mass flow when a thermoplastic material is continuously supplied and processed with a gas. SOLUTION: An apparatus has a funnel-shaped part 2 occupying at least 10% of the capacity of a processing tower under the processing tower 1, a thermoplastic material inlet 3 and a gas exit 8 on the top of the processing tower 1, a thermoplastic material exit 4 at the bottom of the funnel-shaped part 2 and gas supplying inlets 6a and 7a on the side wall of the funnel part which have open ends inside of the side wall. In this case, a thermoplastic material and a gas for processing are continuously supplied from the thermoplastic material inlet 3 and gas supplying inlets 6a and 7a, respectively. The thermoplastic material is continuously processed by subjecting the thermoplastic material and the gas to a counter-flow contact.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a high-quality polymer which can provide pellets of which the dispersion of degrees of polymerization is small within one and the same batch. SOLUTION: This invention provides a process for producing a polycondensate by polycondensation by performing the following steps A and B in the latter stage of the polymerization and discharging the polycondensate from the reactor: the step (A) of keeping the pressure inside the reactor at a subatmospheric pressure for 1min or longer, and the step (B) of keeping the pressure inside the reactor at a superatmospheric pressure in an inert gas atmosphere.

PURPOSE:To obtain the title fibers having improved antistatic properties and little deterioration of color and physical properties using the continuous polymerization and spinning method, by dispersing a small amount of a block polyether-amide in a polyamide in the form of long streaks.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enhance a liquid recovery ratio by reducing the amount of liquid remaining between the solid particles of a filter cake to the utmost and to recover a solid having a purity as high as possible. SOLUTION: In a method for forming the filter cake to separate the same into a solid and a liquid, a structure for compressing the filter cake has perforations and air is passed through the compressed filter cake though the perforations of the structure.
