Abstract:
Three substituents are introduced into cyanuric acid in the presence of an acid binding agent by working in a manner permitting high mixing and therefore high reaction velocities and permitting high throughputs in small tubular containers by introducing liquid cyanuric chloride through a nozzle in the upper portion of the mixing apparatus in countercurrent flow to upwardly flowing reactants (and acid binding agent) introduced from at least one lower nozzle above a breast shaped constriction in the lower, open portion of the apparatus. The process can be carried out at normal, reduced or elevated pressure.
Abstract:
Chloro-amino-s-triazines are produced by the known reaction of cyanuric chloride with an amine or .alpha.-aminonitrile in the presence of an acid binding agent in an improved manner by working at high mixing velocities and thus at high reaction speed and thereby obtaining high throughputs in small tubular containers by introducing liquid cyanuric chloride through a nozzle in the upper portion of the mixing apparatus in countercurrent flow to upwardly flowing reactants (plus acid binding agent) introduced from at least one lower nozzle about a breast shaped constriction in the lower, open portion of the apparatus. The process can be carried out at normal, reduced or elevated pressure.
Abstract:
2-Alkoxy-4,6-dichloro-s-triazines are produced by the known reaction of cyanuric chloride with an alcohol in the presence of an acid binding agent in an improved manner by working at high mixing velocities and thus at high reaction speed and thereby obtaining high throughputs in small tubular containers by introducing liquid cyanuric chloride through a nozzle in the upper portion of the mixing apparatus in countercurrent flow to upwardly flowing reactants (plus acid binding agent) introduced from at least one lower nozzle above a breast shaped constriction in the lower, open portion of the apparatus. The process can be carried out at normal, reduced or elevated pressure.
Abstract:
An improved polymerization reactor apparatus having a vertically disposed outer shell, a liquid polymer inlet at the top of the shell and a liquid polymer outlet at the bottom of the shell, and a series of downwardly sloping trays for conducting a flow of the liquid polymer in a descending path from the inlet to the outlet; the series of trays being encompassed within a series of essentially rectangular pan assemblies supportedly spaced inwardly from the outer shell and by which pan assemblies the liquid polymer flow is divided into two separated flows of uniform flow cross-section, with vapor from the liquid polymer escaping along paths separated from interference with the liquid polymer flow paths from the open top of each pan assembly and through "windows" or openings in two of the opposite end walls of the pan assembly to the outer shell of the reactor apparatus.
Abstract:
Liquid and gaseous chemical reactants are admixed and reacted in a plurality of elongated reaction tubes, for example in the course of sulfonating and sulfating liquid organic compounds with sulfur trioxide gas. To keep the pressure uniform among the plural tubes, a minor proportion of inert gas is introduced into an annular space in which is also introduced the liquid reactant, this annular space surrounding the gaseous reactant introduction space at the mouth of each reaction tube. The inert pressure equalizing gas is fed to all the reaction tubes from a common chamber with which all the tubes communicate.
Abstract:
Methods for producing improved, thermally-stable polyethylene terephthalate resins are provided. Polyethylene terephthalate resins are provided that can be fabricated into products such as carbonated beverage containers with a minimum of degradation products such as acetaldehyde preferably by rapidly polymerizing a prepolymer from an i.v. of about 0.2 to an i.v. of at least about 0.7.
Abstract:
A continuous method for sulphonating and sulphating liquid organic compounds with gaseous sulphur trioxide diluted with inert gas in a plurality of externally cooled, parallel reaction tubes with downward flow communicating at the injection nozzles of the liquid and gas reactants with a single chamber under uniform pressure, from which an additional inert gas flows into the several reaction tubes so as to equalize the pressures downstream of all of said injection nozzles in order to provide for a uniform distribution of the reactants to said reaction tubes, as seen in FIGS. 1-5.This method is applied to all the organic compounds susceptible to said reactions.
Abstract:
A process is disclosed which comprises the steps of introducing a stream of the organic liquid onto a plurality of rotating reacting surfaces, rotating the reacting surfaces at a velocity such that the organic liquid is continuously formed into a thin film on each reacting surface and is continuously moved as a thin film towards the periphery of each reacting surface by centrifugal force, depositing over each thin film a substantially undiluted stream of a gaseous medium, reacting the organic liquid and gaseous medium on said rotating reacting surfaces, maintaining the pressure during reaction at subatmospheric levels, moving the resulting reaction products in a radially outward direction along each reacting surface and collecting said reaction product. An apparatus for carrying out such process is also disclosed.
Abstract:
A sulfonation device capable of forming a uniform film of feed material by virtue of a net provided for the opening for feeding the material to be sulfonated to the reaction surface.
Abstract:
A packing sheet for use in apparatus in which a film of liquid is caused to flow in contact with a gas comprises a number of spaced parallel portions each of which is shaped as a sector of a hollow corrugated tube the peaks and valleys of which occur successively around the circumference of the tube, the said portions being connected by substantially planar portions of said sheet. The said sector preferably has the general shape of an arc of a circle extending about 60*, 90*, 120* or 180* and the corrugation preferably has a zig-zag wave form and is formed of plastics material and has a dimpled surface. The invention also concerns apparatus in which a film of liquid is caused to flow in contact with a gas in which the packing comprises an array of corrugated tubes formed from the above packing sheets. A modification of the invention relates to packing members for use in apparatus in which a film of liquid is caused to flow in contact with a gas. Each of the packing members comprises a hollow tubular member the periphery of which is divided into a number of arcuate regions, each of which regions has a portion shaped as a sector of a hollow corrugated tube in which the peaks and valleys occur successively around the circumference of the tube; and to apparatus packed with such packing members.
