  • Patent number: 10343735
    Abstract: A rubber track chain segment (1, 2) which can be connected via connecting devices (5) at the ends thereof to other rubber track chain segments (2) or to itself (1) to form a segmentable rubber track chain (3), wherein one or more tensile members (4) are introduced between the connecting devices (5) into the rubber track segment (1, 2) in order to increase the tensile load-bearing capability, wherein nipples are arranged at the ends of the tensile members (4), which nipples are set up to be received in an undercut of the connecting devices (5), the rubber band track segment (1, 2) has flexible regions (9) and less flexible regions (8) in an alternating manner, and the ends of the tensile members (4) are positioned in the less flexible regions (8) at the ends of the rubber band track segment (1, 2) so that the tensile members (4), from the exit (19) out of the nipples, run along as long a section (21) as possible through the less flexible regions (8) before they run through the adjoining flexible regions (9).

  • Patent number: 8877059
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for separating organosilicon compounds from organosilicon wastewater. In the first step, the wastewater is heated to at least 10° C. In the second step, the wastewater is stored for at least 30 minutes at at least 10° C. In the third step, the wastewater is conducted through a phase separation element, in which droplets that are formed and contain organosilicon compounds are separated.

  • Patent number: 8528992
    Abstract: A device for connecting two free ends of a rubber band track to one another or for connecting the ends of several band segments to one another. The device has two or more tubes and a pin rubber-mounted in the respective tube. The tubes are in each case inserted into the one end and into the other end of the rubber band track or of the band segments, and at least one connector, by way of which the pins are coupled together in a rotationally fixed manner. The rotational rigidity of the pins in relation to their respective tube, brought about by the rubber mounting, is adjusted in dependence on the flexural strength of the rubber band track or of the band segments in the region of the ends.

  • Patent number: 6770783
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing acid chlorides by converting carboxylic acids with carbon oxychlorides or thionyl chloride in the presence of a catalyst adduct of an N,N-disubstituted formamide of general formula (I) and carbon oxychloride or thionyl chloride. In the formula, R1 and R2, independently from one another, mean C1- to C4-alkyl or R1 and R2 together mean a C4- or C5-alkylene chain. According to the inventive method, hydrogen chloride is added during and/or after the conversion.

  • Patent number: 6727384
    Abstract: Process for the purification of carbonyl chlorides which have been prepared by reacting carboxylic acids with phosgene or thionyl chloride in the presence of a catalyst adduct, in which the carbonyl chlorides are treated with a hydrohalide of carboxamides of the formula (I) in which R1 is hydrogen or C1- to C3-alkyl; R2 and R3 independently of one another are C1- to C4-alkyl, or R2 and R3 together are a C4- or C5-alkylene chain, and the carbonyl chloride purified in this way is isolated by separation off from the carboxamide hydrohalide phase.
