Publication number: 20070172415Abstract: Zinc oxide powder is prepared by a process having the following steps a) generating of a zinc vapor-containing stream in a vaporization zone; b) oxidizing the zinc vapor by reaction with an oxygen-containing gas thereby forming zinc oxide powder in an oxidation zone; and c) cooling of the reaction mixture with water or an inert gas, and separation of the zinc oxide powder in a cooling/isolation zone, wherein aa) in the vaporization zone, a gas stream of an inert gas and a fuel gas is passed through a zinc melt which has a temperature of 450 to <900° C., thereby forming zinc vapor, the content of fuel gas being 1 to 50 vol. %, based on the sum of inert gas and fuel gas, and the molar quotient of zinc vapor to fuel gas being 0.01 to 50, and bb) in the oxidation zone, a second gas stream, which contains an oxygen-containing gas and steam, is added to the gas stream of zinc vapor, fuel gas and inert gas in an amount such that the temperature in the oxidation zone is from 500 to 1100° C.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 18, 2006Publication date: July 26, 2007Applicant: DEGUSA AGInventors: Guido ZIMMERMANN, Stipan Katusic, Michael Kraemer, Horst Miess, Nuh Yilmaz, Guenther Michael

Publication number: 20060223928Abstract: The present invention relates to a powder which, in addition to a polymer, comprises a flame retardant based on ammonium polyphosphate, to the use of this powder for the layer-by-layer production of moldings, and also to moldings produced from this powder. The moldings constructed using the inventive powder have marked advantages with regard to their flammability, when comparison is made with conventional products, and this permits use in aircraft, for example. Furthermore, moldings produced from inventive powder also have improved mechanical properties, when comparison is made with moldings based on conventional powders, in particular in relation to modulus or elasticity and in relation to tensile strength. In addition, these moldings also have a density close to that of injection moldings.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 3, 2004Publication date: October 5, 2006Applicant: DEGUSA AGInventors: Sylvia Monsheimer, Maik Grebe, Franz-Erich Baumann

Publication number: 20060202395Abstract: The present invention relates to a polymer powder which comprises polyamide, and to the use of this powder for shaping processes, and also to moldings produced from this polymer powder. The shaping processes are layer-by-layer processes which use powders, where regions of the respective layer are selectively melted via introduction of electromagnetic energy. The selectivity may be achieved, with no intention of restricting the invention thereto, be achieved via masks, application of inhibitors, of absorbers, or of susceptors, or via focusing of the energy introduced. After cooling, the regions then solidified can be removed in the form of moldings from the powder bed.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 20, 2006Publication date: September 14, 2006Applicant: DEGUSA AGInventors: Sylvia Monsheimer, Franz-Erich Baumann

Publication number: 20040232583Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for melting and adhering material to produce three-dimensional objects by means of selective heating via microwave radiation. Unlike selective laser sintering, the present process uses simple microwave radiation commonly available in any household. The selectivity of heating is achieved by applying one or more susceptors to selected regions of a layer composed of a pulverulent substrate, and then heating the susceptor by means of microwave radiation. The heated susceptor transfers the energy present therein to a pulverulent substrate surrounding the susceptor, and the substrate is thereby melted, providing firm adhesion within the substrate after cooling.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2004Publication date: November 25, 2004Applicant: DEGUSA AGInventors: Sylvia Monsheimer, Maik Grebe, Franz-Erich Baumann

Publication number: 20040167359Abstract: An oxime is synthesized by ammoximation of a carbonyl compound. In stage (i) of the process, a carbonyl compound containing 6 to 20 C atoms is reacted with ammonia and hydrogen peroxide in the presence of a) an organic solvent that is a1) at least partly water-soluble, a2) stable under ammoximation conditions, a3) has a boiling point of higher than 100° C. and/or is capable of forming a two-phase azeotrope with water, and b) a titanium-containing heterogeneous catalyst. After the reaction, the catalyst is separated from the reaction mixture. The oxime is crystallized and separated from the reaction mixture. Water is removed from the remaining mother liquor, provided the mother liquor is a two-phase system in which one of the phases is an aqueous phase. Water or a water-containing two-phase azeotrope is distilled off from the mother liquor, while the distillation bottoms and, optionally, the predominantly organic phase of the azeotrope are recycled to stage (i).Type: ApplicationFiled: December 12, 2003Publication date: August 26, 2004Applicant: DEGUSA AGInventors: Stefan Leininger, Juergen Herwig, Martin Roos, Georg Oenbrink
