Abstract: In a method for the thermal separation of a volatile substance from a non- or less volatile substrate having a phase boundary towards a gas chamber that receives the volatile substance subsequent to vaporisation and/or sublimation, mechanical energy is supplied to the phase boundary between the substrate and the gas chamber to increase the material exchange of the volatile substance. In the method, the material exchange is increased by the addition of an additive or mechanical energy to the surface of the phase transition in such manner that said supplied mechanical energy destroys bubbles containing the volatile substrate, so that the volatile substrate can escape to the gas chamber.

Abstract: A corner insert and facing, finishing, protecting, reinforcing, stabilizing and structurally supporting member for establishing and finishing a transition between a first surface, a second surface and a third surface, the first, second and third surfaces forming an inside corner in furniture. One corner insert embodiment includes a rear face portion oriented inwardly in relation to the inside corner, which is securable to the inside corner, and from which integrally extends an external frontal or basal face portion, the lateral edges of which are securable alone or with the addition of an integral pin or barb to the inside corner, positively locking and engaging with the interior corner surfaces so as to firmly anchored therein and thereto.

Abstract: A process for the continuous thermal treatment of mixed substances, especially of solutions, suspensions and emulsions, wherein the continuous treatment of the mixed substances is divided into a main vaporization and a degassing stage, in which instance the main vaporization and the degassing take place in each case takes place in a separate mixer-kneader.

Abstract: A method for carrying out polymerization processes, includes a first step involving polymerization or co-polymerization of a monomer or monomers, and a second step involving a separation step. In an embodiment, before the separation step, during the separation step, or both before and during the separation step, one or more substance is added to the reaction mixture that induces stripping, influencing of the temperature, or both stripping and influencing of the temperature such that the reaction equilibrium is shifted to the polymers and the rate of reaction to the monomer is slowed. In embodiments, before and/or in the second step, a substance is added to the reaction mixture so that a stop is achieved, and as a further function stripping and/or influencing of temperature occurs.
