Abstract: A process can be used for preparing a polymer coated hard-shell capsule, filled with a fill containing a biologically active ingredient. The hard-shell capsule contains a body and a cap, and in a closed state, the cap overlaps the body in a pre-locked state or a final-locked state. The material of the body and cap contains an ethyl-, methyl-, or propyl-ether of cellulose, starch, or pullulan. The hard-shell capsule is coated with a coating layer, containing one or more anionic cellulose(s), ethyl cellulose, and/or one or more starches comprising at least 35% by weight of amylose, where the coating layer is present in an amount of about 1 to 5.8 mg/cm2. The process involves providing the polymer-coated hard-shell capsule in the pre-locked state to a capsule-filling machine, separating the body and the cap, filling the body with the fill, and rejoining the body and the cap in the final-locked state.

Abstract: A process produces sodium and/or potassium alkoxides in countercurrent by reactive rectification. Alcohol is reacted in countercurrent with the respective alkali metal hydroxide. The vapours containing alcohol and water are separated in at least two serially arranged rectification columns. The energy of the vapour obtained in the second rectification is utilized for operating the first rectification. This specific energy integration coupled with establishing a certain pressure difference in the two rectification stages makes it possible to cover a particularly large proportion of the energy required for the rectification through heating steam and minimizes the use of electricity.
