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.

Abstract: Method of preparation of ethylene copolymers suitable for manufacturing films or pipes so characterized that for the initiation of polymerization of ethylene and 1-alkene monomer a substantially innovated catalyst system containing silyl chromate compound is used. The catalyst system, containing a high yield structure A, is prepared by a sequential interaction of the following components: a) a silyl chromate compound completely freed from water and oxygen prior to its contact with the porous support, b) a support containing a suitable type and optimum concentration of hydroxyl groups, and c) an alkylating agent, being a combination of organometal compounds of aluminum (RO)AlR2 and magnesium (R1MgR2), the ratios between the components in the catalyst vary in the following ranges: content of silyl chromate on the support varies from 0.05 to 0.35% of the support weight, ratio between the total amount of organometals (ORG) to silyl chromate (expressed in terms of ORG/Cr) varies between 0.

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.
