Abstract: A process for the production of (meth)acrylic acid esters of polyhydric alcohols by reaction of the reactants in the presence of acidic esterification catalysts with addition of polymerization inhibitors to the reaction mixture and purging of the reactor interior with an oxygen-containing gas stream. The process is characterized in that that part of the reactor interior filled with gas phase is charged with finely divided liquid droplets containing polymerization inhibitor.

Abstract: An improved extraction system employing a quaternary amine to extract anions from an aqueous solution, particularly precious metals such as gold or silver from an aqueous alkaline solution. The improvement comprises the use of a weak organic acid (a compound providing an acidic proton) along with the quaternary amine. The improvement is useful in both liquid-liquid and liquid-solid extraction systems.

Abstract: This invention relates to an extruder having a granulating head for the granulation of a plastic molding compound which does not flow under gravity, more particularly an enzyme concentrate suitable for detergents, to granules having a particle size of at most 1 mm and, more particularly, at most 0.8 mm. To obtain uniform distribution of the molding compound to be processed over the entire cross-section of the molding plate, the granulating head has an externally arranged die plate support carrying perforated disks, a displacement cone arranged behind the die plate support and a preliminary distributor in the form of a perforated plate arranged between the die plate support and the displacement cone.
Abstract: The invention is directed to a process for preparing a sealant and adhesive useful, e.g., in double glazing systems. The sealant comprises 20-80 weight percent epoxidized natural rubber, 5-30 weight percent of at least one further epoxy compound, and, as a crosslinking agent, a polyamine or polymercaptan carrying trialkoxysilyl groups. The crosslinking agent is incorporated into the epoxidized natural rubber in one step.

Abstract: An improved device for continuous application of a hair dye to a person's hair, without wetting the scalp, incorporates a hair dye reservoir consisting of a first porous material within a housing and teeth made of a second porous material, inserted into the first porous material and in capillary connection with it. The teeth in the surface area of their free ends are free from open pores, and the main pore direction of both the second porous material of the teeth and the first porous material of the reservoir is essentially parallel in the same direction as the longitudinal direction of the teeth. The first porous material of the reservoir extends over several times the penetration depth of the teeth in the penetration direction, and the pore size in the teeth is smaller than in the remainder of the reservoir.
