Abstract:
Adiponitrile is made by reacting 3-pentenenitrile with hydrogen cyanide. The 3- pentenenitrile is made by reacting 1,3-butadiene with hydrogen cyanide and by isomerizing 2-methyl-3-butenenitrile. Phenolic compounds, such as phenol and cresols, are present as a catalyst impurity or as a catalyst degradation product. Phenolic compounds are removed during the nitrile manufacturing process.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for the production of an aromatic carboxylic acid comprising: a) introducing a crude aromatic carboxylic acid solution into a purification reactor vessel, wherein the purification reactor vessel is operating under pressure, b) introducing hydrogen gas into the purification reactor vessel, c) dissolving the hydrogen gas in the crude aromatic polycarboxylic acid solution as the solution flows down a wall of a vertical conduit onto a distributor, wherein the purification reactor vessel has a gas-liquid contact area to plant throughput (capacity) ratio of at least 0.55 m2/ te/h of carboxylic acid for dissolving the hydrogen gas in the crude aromatic polycarboxylic acid solution to produce a reaction solution, and d) contacting the reaction solution with a supported catalyst bed to produce a purified aromatic carboxylic acid, wherein the supported catalyst bed is submerged in the reaction solution and a liquid level of the reaction solution is maintained above the supported catalyst bed.
Abstract:
The invention provides hosiery including a panty portion that is assymetrical. The hosiery provides a comfortable fit for a variety of different sizes including larger sizes and maternity.
Abstract:
Included are light weight NYCO fabrics having high durability and breathability made from nylon staple fibers having a denier per filament of about 1.0 to 3.0, a tenacity T at break of at least about 6.0, and a load-bearing capacity, T 7 , of greater than about 2.5, including greater than 3.2. Such nylon staple fibers may be produced by preparing tows of nylon filaments, drawing and annealing such tows via a multi-stage drawing and annealing operation and then cutting or otherwise converting the drawn and annealed tows into the desired high strength nylon staple fibers.
Abstract:
A method of winding bulked continuous filament yarn is disclosed, which enables superior yarn package formation, including higher density packages with excellent shape and yarn takeoff characteristics. The method uses unique helix angles and winding profiles in a non-adjacent and adjacent yarn pattern, achieved by a unique winding control strategy that constantly monitors spindle speed, desired wind ratio, traverse cam speed, and surface speed.
Abstract:
A process for making a polyamide polymer, said process comprising heating, in one or more ionic liquid(s), one or more polyamide precursor(s) selected from: (i) one or more free dicarboxylic acid(s) or ester(s) thereof, with one or more diamine(s); or (ii) one or more salt(s) of a dicarboxylic acid with a diamine; or (iii) one or more lactam(s); or (iv) mixtures of any of the foregoing precursors (i) to (iii).
Abstract:
Briefly described, embodiments of the present disclosure include trilobal bulked continuous filaments (BCFs) with a generally round central void, spinneret plates with a capillary design for producing the BCFs of the present disclosure, articles and carpets produced from the BCFs of the present disclosure, methods of producing the trilobal BCFs of the present disclosure, and the like
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are articles and processes for making elastic composite structures which can be used as or converted into a component of disposable hygiene products or articles of apparel. At least one relatively inelastic substrate, for example a nonwoven substrate, is adhesively bonded with a hot melt adhesive to a certain selected type of elongated polyurethane material in the form of a film or one or more fibers or filaments. The elongated polyurethane material is then allowed to relax which provides an elastic composite structure which is gathered or puckered.
Abstract:
An oxidation process for the production of an aromatic carboxylic acid, said process comprising contacting in the presence of a catalyst, within a continuous flow reactor, one or more precursor(s) of the aromatic carboxylic acid with an oxidant, such contact being effected with said precursor(s) and the oxidant in an aqueous solvent comprising water under supercritical conditions or near supercritical conditions, wherein said catalyst comprises copper.
Abstract:
A synthetic polymer composition comprising a blend of a synthetic thermoplastic polymer and a polymer containing a polyether chain as a constituent, wherein the article manufactured from the blend contains an active compound is disclosed. Yarns may be formed from the synthetic polymer blend and then knitted or woven into articles, such as net or fabric. The articles may be treated with active compounds such as a perfume, fabric softener, sunscreen agent, antibacterial agent, pesticide, insecticide and such other compounds that provide functionality on the article. The treated articles of the invention retain more than an effective amount of active compounds even after numerous washings.
