Abstract: The invention relates to a mixture, which is liquid at room temperature and which is composed of two or more compounds, which are constructed exclusively of the elements carbon and hydrogen and, in individual known compositions, form a synthetic substance mix that can be used as a heat-transfer liquid. The mixture is characterized in that the mixture contains at least one compound having at least two non-condensed, non-pi-conjugated aromatic units and is used in catalytic methods to bind hydrogen to or release hydrogen from the mixture.

Abstract: A method for the preservation of a machine element, in which, after the production and before the installation and/or start-up of the machine element, a preservative is applied on the surface thereof, wherein an ionic liquid is used as a preservative is provided.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the production and isolation of lactic acid which is produced by way of fermentation of a carbohydrate-bearing feedstock and the addition of ammonia. The lactic acid is released from the ammonium salt of the lactate by adding a mineral acid and the lactic acid isolation takes place by extraction with the aid of an alkylated amine. The extraction is preferably operated at a pH value of 4.0 to 2.0, thereby obtaining a multi-phase mixture which is split up. The phase thus obtained with the lactate salt of amine subsequently undergoes distillation, so that lactic acid is obtained as pure product or the phase with the lactate salt of amine are thermally decomposed, thereby producing an oligolactide that is distillable and thus yields a pure dilactide. The invention also encompasses a device suitable for the performance of the inventive process.
