Patent number: 6610888Abstract: A method of reacting a solution comprising a mixture of chemical compounds which are in chemical equilibrium with one another with at least one further chemical compound (9) is provided. The method comprises the following steps: fractionation of the solution by means of a separation method to give at least two fractions (5, 6) which are enriched in different chemical compounds of the mixture; and reaction of a fraction (5) with the further chemical compound or compounds (9). The fractionation is advantageously carried out using a film evaporator (1). Unreacted fractions (6) can be recirculated via a residence time vessel (3) back to the fractionation step. The method is particularly suitable for reactions of an aqueous formaldehyde solution in which various components of the solution (formaldehyde, methylene glycol, polyoxymethylene glycols) react in different ways.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2000Date of Patent: August 26, 2003Assignee: BASF AktiengesellschaftInventors: Eckhard Ströfer, Stephan Scholl, Hans Hasse

Patent number: 6048441Abstract: Neopentyl glycol hydroxypivalate (NGH) is isolated from a mixture containing NGH, lower- and higher-boiling products and inorganic salts and purified in a two-stage process, whereinin a first separation stage, the inorganic salts and part of the higher-boiling products are separated off in a wiped-film evaporator and a vapor stream consisting of NGH, lower- and higher-boiling products is discharged and fed to a heat exchanger and condensed therein,and, in a second separation stage, the resulting condensate is distilled in a rectification column from which NGH is taken off in a side stream and condensed. Further discharges of the rectification column containing lower-boiling products or higher-boiling products are separately taken off. The higher-boiling products which comprise residual NGH are partly or completely recycled to the lower region of the rectification column.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 1998Date of Patent: April 11, 2000Assignee: BASF AktiengesellschaftInventors: Heinz Auer, Siegfried Kruger, Stephan Scholl, Theodor Weber, Johann-Peter Melder
