Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for producing methyl hydroxyalkyl cellulose ethers by alkalisation and etherification of celluloses, rinsing the methyl hydroxyalkyl cellulose ethers with water at higher temperatures and recovering the short-chain cellulose ethers that are soluble in the wash water, wherein the wash water containing sodium chloride and organic by-products is passed across a first stage of a membrane filtration having a molecular cut size of 200 to 150,000 Dalton, is concentrated during this process and passes across a second stage of a membrane filtration.

Abstract: An injection system for an internal-combustion engine has a plurality of separate inlet ports provided for each cylinder of the engine, and an intake pipe encompassing the inlet ports for each cylinder. The intake pipe has a subdividing web wall in the region of the cylinder head having a mixing chamber into which fuel is injected by an injection nozzle. The subdividing web wall subdivides the intake pipe into separate intake pipe sections and includes shot channels for communicating fuel from the mixing chamber to each of the separate intake pipe sections. By this arrangement, a constant, thorough mixing of the fuel/air mixture is achieved even at lower load and upper speed ranges of the engine.
