Abstract: The invention describes a process for preparing propoxylated, phosphorus-containing compounds using aluminium chloride catalyst.

Abstract: Apparatus for filtration of contaminated water, characterised in that the apparatus is provided with a housing (1) which, when oriented for proper use, comprises—a contaminated water inlet (2) and a drain (8, 13),—a water filter in the housing, the filter comprising capillary membranes (3) embedded in a sealant at their upper and lower side such that they are completely sealed against the housing, —a permeate connector (5) for the drainage of the permeate, —a backwash connector (6) for the backwashing of the membrane at the housing, —a manually activated pump (9, 10) connected to the back-wash connector, wherein the backwash connector (6) is located under the permeate connector (5).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the hydrogenation of unsaturated polymers containing double bonds, the unsaturated polymers present in latex form being hydrogenated in the presence of a metal-containing colloid.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for eliminating nitrogenous organic compounds from a salt-containing water which contains more than 0.5% by weight of salt in the form of CaCl2 or NaCl, less than 200 ppm of dissolved carbonic acid or carbonates and more than 50 ppm of nitrogenous organic compounds, by treating the water by wet oxidation at a temperature of below 100° C. with chlorine or a chlorine-containing oxidizing agent and feeding this, preferably after additional oxidation with a gaseous oxidizing agent and/or by adsorption with an adsorbent, to an electrolysis for producing chlorine and/or sodium hydroxide solution.
