Abstract: The invention relates to a process for removing small amounts of water and possible further constituents from alkali metal amalgam, wherein the alkali metal amalgam is brought into contact with an element which is insoluble in mercury and catalyzes the reaction of water with the alkali metal amalgam and the possible further constituents to form hydroxides and hydrogen.

Abstract: In a process for continuous mixing of water-absorbing polymeric particles with liquids or other particles while the polymeric particles move in the product stream direction under their own weight, at least a portion of the material undergoing mixing acquires, through the rotational movement of at least one mixing tool secured to a rotating shaft, a momentum opposite the product stream direction.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for performing catalyzed oxidation reactions of hydrocarbons over a catalyst disposed in a reactor, which comprises cooling the product gas stream of the catalyzed oxidation reaction immediately after it leaves the reaction zone of the reactor by feeding in a temperature-controlled gas stream which is fed in through at least one feed device into the region between lower reactor plate and outlet of the product gas stream.

Abstract: Process for producing finely divided liquid-liquid formulations and apparatus for producing the same, comprising a) a baffle having at least one inlet nozzle and a baffle having at least one outlet nozzle, the nozzles being arranged axially with respect to one another, a static mixer being located in the space between the baffles, and there being, additionally, if appropriate, mechanical introduction of energy, or b) a baffle having at least one inlet nozzle and an impingement plate, there being, if appropriate, in the space between the baffle and the impingement plate a static mixer and/or mechanical introduction of energy.
