  • Publication number: 20040192855
    Abstract: The invention relates to a thermoplastic polymer mixture containing m, m representing a natural number higher than 1, polymers Pn wherein n represents a natural number between 1 and m, and at least one recurring functional group contained in the Pn polymer chain, said group(s) having the structure —(R1)x—C(O)—(R2)y— wherein x and y independently represent 0 or 1, and x+y=1, and R1, R2 independently represent oxygen or nitrogen linked into the main polymer chain. The polymers Pn differ in terms of at least one characteristic related to molecular weight. The polymer mixture has a number average molecular weight Mn(P)1, a weight average molecular weight Mw(P)1, a Z average molecular weight Mz(P)1, a heterogeneity index Mw(P)1/Mn(P)1, and a molecular weight Mp(P)1 defined according to DIN 55672-2 in hexafluoroisopropanol as an elution agent.

  • Patent number: 6305833
    Abstract: A process for producing solids by precipitation in a mixer to form a mixture of solid and liquid, where the starting materials are fed into a mixing apparatus which has essentially a rotationally symmetrical mixing chamber which has a rotor disposed therein and is formed by a peripheral wall and two end walls, and where a) the starting materials are each fed to at least one inlet opening in the peripheral wall of the mixing chamber, and b) the solid-containing mixture which is formed is removed from at least one outlet opening in the peripheral wall of the mixing chamber.

  • Patent number: 6037443
    Abstract: Linear, thermoplastic, elastomneric copolymers of carbon monoxide and olefinically unsaturated compounds have an alternating sequence of repeating units and an average molecular weight Mw of the copolymers of from 80,000 to 1,200,000, binary, linear, alternating carbon monoxide/ethylene copolymers being excluded.

  • Patent number: 5645806
    Abstract: A process for decomposing organohalogen compounds which are present in dust-laden gases which have a carbon content of less than 0.6% by weight, by oxidative breakdown with the aid of solid catalysts suitable for this purpose, whereina) the dust is deposited from the gases at 250.degree.-500.degree. C., and the dust-free gas is passed together with oxygen or an oxygen-containing gas over the catalyst, orb) the deposition of the dust takes place at below 250.degree. C., the organohalogen compounds are desorbed from the dust in an oxygen-containing gas stream at 250.degree.-500.degree. C., and the gas stream is passed over the catalyst, orc) the dust-laden gas is passed in the presence of oxygen over the catalyst at 250.degree.-500.degree. C., and the dust is subsequently removed.
