Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for hydrolysis of acetone cyanohydrin (ACH) by means of sulphuric acid within the ACH sulpho process for preparation of methacrylic acid (MAA) or methyl methacrylate (MMA).

Abstract: This invention relates to a process of preparing highly pure, non-yellowing (meth)acrylic acid necessary for high-tech applications requiring long-tem color stability in the presence of amines. Process for the preparation of highly pure, non-yellowing (meth)acrylic acid comprising the steps: f) Condensation of a (meth)acrylic acid-containing gas phase obtained via a gas phase oxidation process of a C4-compound to generate an aqueous (meth)acrylic acid solution g) Separation of the (meth)acrylic acid from the aqueous (meth)acrylic acid solution to obtain crude (meth)acrylic acid h) Rectification of the crude (meth)acrylic acid to obtain pure (meth)acrylic acid via a sidestream outlet of the rectification column i) Treatment of the pure (meth)acrylic acid generated in step c) with an ion exchange resin j) Distillation of the (meth)acrylic acid generated in step d).

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for metering flowable media or gases, and to the use thereof.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for preparing carboxamides by amidating nitriles in the presence of sulphuric acid, wherein the reaction is performed in a Taylor reactor. The process enables a simple and inexpensive preparation of these compounds. The present invention further provides processes for preparing (meth)acrylamides and alkyl(meth)acrylates, which comprise an inventive amidation reaction.

Abstract: In a method for the separation of supercritical gas from substances dissolved in the gas with a membrane through which the gas passes while the substances dissolved in the gas is retained, a pore-free membrane of a polymer perfluoro-2,2-diemthyl-1,3-dioxole is used as a membrane in the separation process.
