  • Patent number: 7160524
    Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for the production of butylacetate by esterification of acetic acid with butanol in the presence of a solid acidic catalyst in which distillatory separation of components runs simultaneously with esterification. Thus, acetic acid and butanol are introduced in defined amounts and in the molar ratio 1:1 to 1:10 into a system, in which the reaction and the distillatory separation proceeds in three zones. The reaction together with distillatory separation of the components with different boiling points run in the reaction zone, while only distillation takes place in lower and upper separation zones. A volatile mixture is separated in the upper separation zone, from which, after being cooled at 5 to 80° C., water and organic phases are separated, the latest being refluxed into the system. The ratio of the feed amount to the organic phase reflux amount is 1:1 to 1:20, the reflux amount representing 60 to 100% of the whole amount of the organic phase.

  • Patent number: 6693213
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of producing ethyl acetate by reaction of ethyl alcohol with acetic acid and/or acetic anhydride in the presence of a solid acidic catalyst accompanied by simultaneous distillation separation of reaction components, in which acetic acid or acetic anhydride or a mixture thereof and ethyl alcohol, respectively, are introduced separately in a molar ratio of 2:1 to 1:2.5 and in a defined quantity, per unit volume of catalyst, into a system separated into three zones, whereby, in the reaction zone, the reaction runs simultaneously with distillation separation of components, acetic acid feed is introduced into the reaction zone or above the zone and ethyl alcohol feed is introduced into the reaction zone or below this zone; in the upper separation zone, the volatile mixture is separated; thereafter, it is cooled to 5 to 70° C.

  • Patent number: 5455318
    Abstract: Method of metathetical polymerization and copolymerization of cycloalkenes of norbornene type in the presence of catalytic system which is comprised ofa) a catalytic precursor prepared by reaction of a tungsten compound containing at least one atom of chlorine, bromine and/or iodine with sterically hindered amines, whereby concentration of the tungsten is 0.01 to 50 milimols per mol of monomer and molar ratio of tungsten/amine is 0.01 to 1:5,b) cocatalyst selected from the group of organic compounds of aluminium, tin, lead, silicon, lithium, magnesium, boron, zinc or germanium, whereby molar ratio tungsten/cocatalyst is 1:1 to 1:20 and possibly,c) moderator of the polymerization reaction selected from the group of ethers, esters, ketons or nitriles in mole ratio cocatalyst/moderator 1:1 to 1:10.
