Abstract: Process for the continuous fluidized bed agglomeration wherein the granulating liquid together with propellant air is supplied centrally through a three-phase nozzle on the distributor of the fluidized bed, and at the same time, the solid in powder form is fed into the fluidized bed through the annular space or the three-phase nozzle with the air of a current of propellant air, supplied separately and concentrically.

Abstract: Dialkyl carbonates can be prepared by reacting carbon monoxide with alkyl nitrites in a continuous gas phase reaction in the presence of a heterogeneous platinum metal catalyst, the activity of this catalyst being maintained by the addition of small amounts of halogen. The dialkyl carbonates are thus formed with almost quantitative selectivity and no deactivation of the catalyst occurs.

The conditions according to the invention displace the ratio of 2,3,-dichloro-nitrobenzene and 3,4-dichloro-nitrobenzene in favor of the 2,3-isomer.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of very pure titanium dioxide by reacting titanium tetrahalides with sulphuric acid, hydrolysis the titanyl sulphate solution obtained and calcining the hydrolysate is disclosed wherein the reaction between titanium tetrahalide and aqueous 20-40% by weight strength sulphuric acid is performed in such a way that crystallisation of titanyl sulphate does not take place, the hydrogen halide is separated, the solution is optionally concentrated and filtered and then the ratio by weight of sulphuric acid to titanium dioxide is adjusted to between 1.7 and 2.0 and the titanium dioxide concentration is adjusted to between 250 and 300 g/l, the solution is hydrolyzed and the resulting titanium oxide hydrate is filtered off and calcined to give Futile or anatase.

Abstract: Aminomethyl-chromans are obtained by alkylation of correspondingly substituted amines or by reductive amination of correspondingly substituted aldehydes. The aminomethyl-chromans can be used as active compounds in medicaments, in particular for the treatment of diseases of the central nervous system.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel thermoplastic, water-insoluble cellulose hydroxyalkyl hydroxycarboxylic acid esters of the general structureCell--O--Rwhere Cell--O is the substituted OH group of a polymeric cellulose unit and R is either a monomeric and/or polymeric hydroxyalkylether hydroxycarboxylic acid ester of the structure X:X=--A--B--in which A is a linear polyether chain:A=(--D--O--).sub.nin which D signifies a linear aliphatic branched or unbranched chain with 2 to 11 C atoms and n is a whole number equal to or greater than 1, and B is a linear polyester chain: ##STR1## in which E signifies a linear aliphatic branched or unbranched chain with 2 to 5 C atoms and m is a whole number equal to or greater than 1, or R is equal to A or B or X and a combination thereof in any ratio, or R is equal to H (hydrogen) according to the degree of substitution per anhydroglucose unit (max. 3) with A, B or X, and a process for their production and use of these cellulose derivatives as biodegradable mouldings.

Abstract: In the preparation of m-chloroaromatics by isomerizing corresponding o- and/or p-chloroaromatics in the liquid phase over zeolites, the activity of the zeolites remains at a high level for a particularly long time if the process is carried out in the presence of from 1 to 30 mol % of hydrogen, based on the chloroaromatics used.

Abstract: Organic compounds of reduced sulphur content and sulphur-free organic compounds can be prepared from organic mercapto and/or disulphide compounds in a particularly advantageous manner by hydrogenolytic elimination of hydrogen sulphide if the elimination of hydrogen sulphide is carried out in the presence of an organic solvent by means of an aqueous, non-oxidizing, strong acid and elemental iron, aluminium and/or zinc in the presence of catalytic amounts of nickel and/or cobalt.

Abstract: The new process for dyeing polyamide fibers with acid dyestuffs, in which small amounts of metal salts are added to the dyebath, gives dyeings having improved lightfastness.

Abstract: 1,1,1,4,4,4-Hexafluorobut-2-ene is prepared from chloro-fluorobutanes of the formula (I)CF.sub.3 --CH.sub.2 --CHCl--CX.sub.3 (I)in which the individual radicals X independently of each other represent chlorine and/or fluorine, by reaction with alkali metal fluoride in an aprotic polar solvent.

Abstract: Organic carbonates containing at least one aromatic ester group can be obtained in a continuous manner from carbonates containing at least one aliphatic ester group and a phenolic compound in the presence of a transesterification catalyst known per se by carrying out the reaction in at least two stirred containers connected one behind the other in such a way that, in each case, the phenolic compound is metered in liquid form into the first stirred container and the carbonate containing at least one aliphatic ester group is metered in liquid form into one or more of the stirred containers. The carbonate containing at least one aromatic ester group is removed in liquid form from the last stirred container. Volatile reaction products, for example alcohol which has been cleaved out or a dialkyl carbonate are removed in gaseous form from one or more stirred containers.
