Abstract: A process for the recovery of a light boiler and a heavy boiler from a vapor stream, where the process includes: A1) introducing a vapor stream containing a light boiler and a heavy boiler into a column at a point at the bottom of the column, A2) withdrawing a vapor stream, enriched in the light boiler, from the top of the column, A3) withdrawing a liquid stream, enriched in the heavy boiler, from the bottom of the column, and splitting the stream into a partial stream and a partial stream, A4) recycling the stream back into the column at a point above the column, wherein the stream is kept essentially adiabatically during the recycling, A5) withdrawing a stream, enriched in a middle boiler, from the middle section of the column and splitting the stream into a partial stream and a partial stream, A6) cooling the partial stream in the heat exchanger to provide the cooled stream and recycling the stream as stream back into the column at an introduction point below the top of the column, and A7) withdrawing the

Abstract: A polymer having a backbone chain, wherein the backbone chain includes linear amide linkages and nitrogen-atom-containing heteromonocyclic moieties, wherein the backbone chain is free of peptide linkages or wherein the backbone chain has a proportion of peptide linkages of maximum 30%, based on a total number of the linear amide linkages of the backbone chain, and wherein the nitrogen-atom-containing heteromonocyclic moieties have a proportion of 5% by weight to 25% by weight, based on the total weight of the polymer, is provided. A product or article and the use of the polymer for manufacturing or producing the product or article are further provided.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for preparing saturated Cn- and C2n-alcohols, wherein the separation of the Cn-alcohols and the C2n-alcohols is effected by means of at least one two-column system or by means of at least one dividing wall column.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for preparing saturated Cn- and C2n-alcohols, wherein the ratio of Cn- to C2n-alcohols is controlled by a distillative separation of the aldehydes used.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for preparing saturated Cn- and C2n-alcohols, wherein the ratio of Cn- to C2n-alcohols is controlled by the diversion of substreams in individual method steps.

Abstract: Polymers can be prepared from monomers comprising laurolactam, by a process including a. Beckmann rearrangement of cyclododecanone oxime to give laurolactam in the presence of a Beckmann rearrangement catalyst, b. removal of impurities from the laurolactam to obtain purified laurolactam, and c. polymerization of monomers comprising purified laurolactam. For avoidance of discolouration or yellowing under ageing conditions, prior to the polymerization, polycyclic substances containing 24 carbon atoms and at least one heteroatom selected from oxygen and nitrogen and having a molar mass between 300 and 380 g/mol are limited to 500 ppm, based on laurolactam.
