Abstract:
Process for the preparation of urea from ammonia and carbon dioxide in a urea production process comprising, in a high-pressure synthesis section: a. a reactor, wherein ammonia and carbon dioxide react to form a urea-comprising synthesis solution; b. a stripper, wherein the urea-comprising synthesis solution is heated and stripped, optionally in counter-current with a stripping agent; c. a submerged condenser, wherein the gas leaving the top of the stripper is, at least partially, condensed to form a condensate solution and d. an ejector, in the line connecting the submerged condenser and the reactor, supporting the transport of the condensate solution from the submerged condenser to the reactor, wherein a gas stream leaving the top of the submerged condenser is controlled by one or more controlling elements.
Abstract:
Process for the production of urea from ammonia and carbon dioxide in a urea plant containing a high-pressure synthesis section comprising at least one reactor section, a stripper and a condenser wherein all the high-pressure equipment is placed in a low position, wherein the height of the high-pressure section is less than 35 m from ground level and at least one of the reactor sections comprises means for the separate distribution of ammonia in the bottom of the reactor section.
Abstract:
Impact resistant polyamide composition containing more than 45 wt. % polyamide and relatively minor amounts of an impact modifier. The impact modifier is an elastomer with groups that are reactive with respect to the polyamide. The impact modifier has an adverse effect on the high-temperature properties, which were already poor. According to the invention, compositions of polyamide, impact modifier and a copolymer of a vinylaromatic compound, in particular styrene, and maleic anhydride have improved high-temperature properties while maintaining good impact resistance.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a thermoplastic polymer based on a vinyl monomer, which is characterized in that the polymer composition contains more than 1% (wt) of one or more compounds according to formula I and/or II: ##STR1## where R1 is a hydrogen atom, alkyl, aryl, cycloalkyl, cycloaryl and/or a halogen.By applying a polymer according to the invention the composition is protected against thermal decomposition so that the CO2 emission during or after processing is lower than 0.5% (wt). Polymers according to the invention are excellently suited for the production therefrom of dashboards for motor cars and of housings for electric equipment.
Abstract:
A free-radical radiation curable composition comprising:a) at least one compound containing from one to about six vinyl ether groups; andb) at least one product obtainable by the reaction of a half-ester of maleic and/or fumaric acid with an epoxy functionalized compound,wherein the ratio of vinyl ether groups to maleate and/or fumarate groups is in the range of about 5:1 to about 1:5.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a stabilized polyamide 4.6 composition, which includes copper in the form of a water insoluble copper salt and a halogen-substituted organic compound.
Abstract:
A process for the manufacture of objects by injection molding and/or compression molding starting from polycarbonate powder. The process is suitable for, inter alia, the manufacture of carriers for optically readable information such as audio and video discs.
Abstract:
A process for the manufacture of filaments, tapes and films that possess a shish kebab morphology. This is effected in that for instance UHMW PE after extrusion is stretched at a temperature between the melting temperature (Tm) and a critical temperature (Tc) and subsequently cooled in stressed condition. The stretching rate is between 0.1 and 10 sec..sup.-1.
Abstract:
