Abstract: A system and method for preparing epoxy chloropropane is provided in that by coupling three stages of high gravity reactors, the product epoxy chloropropane and water vapor are distilled from a reaction system in form of an azeotrope by adopting a water vapor steam stripping method. Further, by combining the azeotrope with the multiples stages of high gravity reactors, the gas phase mass transfer and the liquid phase mass transfer of the azeotrope are improved aiming at the features of the azeotrope in the reaction system, thus making the overall conversion rate higher. In addition, by combining steam stripping and high gravity, dichloropropanol and alkali solution are rapidly mixed for mass transfer, and the product epoxy chloropropane is rapidly distilled from the reaction system in the form of the azeotrope, such that the reaction proceeds continuously towards the direction of producing epoxy chloropropane, thus significantly improving the conversion rate.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for changing translucency of zirconia dental materials through applying an yttrium or ytterbium salt solution onto a pre-sintered zirconia material by dipping or brush-coating. Accordingly, the need of young patient in relation to the translucent requirement for incisal portion of anterior teeth is met in which the translucent level from the crown neck to the incisal portion is gradually changed in a natural manner, similar to natural teeth. A color gradient effect of the crown is produced through dipping in or brush-coating with yttrium or ytterbium salt solution. Moreover, the present invention involves simple operating steps and low cost while providing high consistency in quality.
