Abstract:
AN EPIHALOHTDRIN IS REACTED WITH A MIXTURE OF OF ISOMERIC CYCLODODECANEDIOLS IN THE PRESENCE OF A LEWIS ACID. THE REACTION PRODUCT IS DEHYDROHALOGENATED WITH ALKALI. THE DEHYDROHALOGENATED REACTION PRODUCT, WHEN HARDENED, SUPRISINGLY SHOWS SUPERIOR ARC AND SURFACE LEAKAGE CURRENT STRENGTH AS COMPARE WITH CONVENTIONAL HARDENED EPOXY RESINS. THE MIXTURE IS ISOMERIC CYCLODODECANEDIOLS PREFREABLE HAS A DIOL CONTENT OF 95-100% BY WEIGHT.
Abstract:
In a process for preparing polyamide 12 (polydodecanoic acid amide) as sintered powder by dissolving the polyamide 12 in molten caprolactam, cooling the melt so obtained and treating it with a solvent for caprolactam, the improvement, which consists in carrying out the solvent treatment with benzene or toluene at elevated temperature.
Abstract:
A PROCESS FOR THE PURIFICATION OF LACTAMS OF EXTRACTION WHEREIN THE LACTAM IS TREATED IN THE CRYSTALLINE STATE WITH A SOLVENT CAPABLE OF DISSOLVING THE IMPURITIES SELECTIVELY.
Abstract:
A continuous process for the purification of caprolactam characterized in that raw caprolactam is subjected to a solvent distillation followed by a distillation under reduced pressure in the presence of sodium hydroxide and then to a melt crystallization, in which: A. The residue from the alkaline distillation is taken up in water, the aqueous solution extracted with benzene or toluene and the lactam solution fed to the main product stream through the solvent distillation; B. The residue from the melt crystallization is extracted in the crystalline state with an aliphatic or cycloaliphatic hydrocarbon with 5-10 carbon atoms and the purified residue is fed back into the alkaline distillation of the main produce stream; and C. The aliphatic or cycloaliphatic hydrocarbon is regenerated and used again for the extraction of the residue from the meltcrystallization.
Abstract:
A PROCESS CHARACTERIZED IN THAT RAW CAPROLACTAM IS SUBJECTED, IN EITHER SEQUENCE, TO A CRYSTAL EXTRACTION WITH AN ALIPHATIC OR CYCLOALIPHATIC HYDROCARBON HAVING 5-10 CARBON ATOMS AND TO DISTILLATION UNDER REDUCED PRESSURE.
