  • Patent number: 7332139
    Abstract: Reactions between at least two fluid reactants are performed in a reactor comprising wall elements (1), slot-shaped reaction spaces (3) and cavities (5) for conducting a fluid heat-carrier through. Depending on the process and throughput, a modular structural design is chosen wherein an arbitrary number of wall elements (1) are assembled to a right-parallelepipedal block (24), the reaction spaces (3) are formed between lateral surfaces (2) of right-parallelepipedal wall elements (1), the reactants are introduced into the reaction spaces (3) from edge regions of one side of the block (24) and are conducted through the reaction spaces (3) in parallel flows and the fluid heat-carrier is conducted through the tubular cavities (5) extending in the interior of the wall elements (1).

  • Patent number: 7083769
    Abstract: Silicon-titanium mixed oxide powder prepared by flame hydrolysis, having a ratio by weight of silicon dioxide/titanium dioxide, which is greater on the surface of the primary particles than that within the total primary particle. It is prepared by a flame hydrolysis process, in that a stream consisting of a vaporous titanium dioxide precursor and oxygen or an oxygen-containing gas and hydrogen, and a second stream consisting of a vaporous silicon dioxide precursor and a carrier gas consisting of oxygen, an oxygen-containing gas and/or an inert gas, are guided separately into the reaction chamber of a burner such as is known for the preparation of pyrogenic oxides, and are burnt here, the solid mixed oxide powder and hot gases are subsequently cooled, and the gases are separated from the solid. The powder may be used, for example, for the preparation of sunscreen preparations.

  • Publication number: 20040240062
    Abstract: Aluminium oxide doped with a divalent metal oxide, produced by flame hydrolysis and which has no spinell structures or alpha-aluminium detectable in an x-ray diffractogram. It is produced by a pyrogenic process in which, during the flame hydrolysis of aluminium halogenides, an aerosol, which contains an aqueous solution of a divalent metal salt is added to the gas mixture. The doped aluminium oxides can be used in aqueous dispersions for chemical-mechanical polishing.

  • Patent number: 6387346
    Abstract: A process for the direct synthesis of hydrogen peroxide from hydrogen and oxygen is carried out in the presence of a noble metal catalyst. The selectivity for H2 and/or the maximum H2O2 concentration can be increased by using a catalyst of palladium or at least two metals selected from Group VIII and Group I of the Periodic Table of Elements, which catalyst has been produced by spray pyrolysis or flame pyrolysis.

  • Patent number: 6117409
    Abstract: An aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide is produced by direct synthesis from hydrogen and oxygen in the presence of a heterogeneous catalyst. According to the invention, a gas mixture comprising H.sub.2 and O.sub.2, essentially saturated or supersaturated with water (=containing fog) is fed into a reactor containing the catalyst. The volume ratio of the gas mixture fed in (standard liters per hour) to liquid removed (liters per hour) is adjusted to a value equal to or greater than 15,000, especially 20,000 to 50,000, and the gas mixture leaving the reactor is recycled after replenishment with H.sub.2, O.sub.2, and H.sub.2 O vapor. Solutions with high H.sub.2 O.sub.2 concentration can be obtained according to the invention without additional concentration.
