Abstract

The present invention relates to the production of an isocyanate by reacting a primary amine with phosgene by way of a gas phase reaction in several gas phase reaction arrangements connected in parallel. Excess phosgene not reacted in the gas phase reaction is returned, as a return flow, to a phosgene gas generation device to form a phosgene gas stream and a state parameter of the formed phosgene gas steam is set by means of a setting parameter of the return flow. This concept enables stable reaction conditions of the gas phase reaction, in particular a stable stoichiometric phosgene excess in the gas phase reaction arrangements, to be ensured.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for preparing a polyoxyalkylene polyol comprising attaching an alkylene oxide (A) to an H-functional starter substance (B) in the presence of a basic catalyst (C) with the formation of an intermediate (D), followed by vacuum-treating the intermediate (D) at pressures of 1 mbara to 500 mbara with the formation of an intermediate (E). Then, an alkylene oxide (F) is attached to this intermediate (E) with the formation of an alkaline polyoxyalkylene polyol (H) and then water is added with the formation of a mixture (J) comprising a first phase (J-1) containing the polyoxyalkylene polyol and a second aqueous phase (J-2). Then, the second aqueous phase (J- 2) is separated from the first phase (J-1) containing the polyoxyalkylene polyol via gravitation. The addition of the alkylene oxide (A) ends before the vacuum treatment and the addition of the alkylene oxide (F) is not started until after the vacuum treatment has been completed.

The invention relates to a method for cleaving urethanes, in particular polyurethanes, by means of chemolysis (alcoholysis, hydrolysis, or hydroalcoholysis) in the presence of a catalyst. The chemolysis is characterized in that a salt of an oxyacid of an element of the fifth, fourteenth, or fifteenth group of the periodic table of elements or a mixture of two or more such salts is used as the catalyst, the pKb value of the anion of said salt of the oxyacid ranging from 0.10 to 6.00, preferably 0.25 to 5.00, particularly 0.50 to 4.50, wherein the catalyst does not comprise carbonate when the chemolysis is carried out as an alcoholysis (Ia), and the catalyst does not contain carbonate, orthophosphate, or metaphosphate when the chemolysis is carried out as a hydroalcoholysis.

Abstract

The present disclosure provides methods for computing first-order derivative properties of observables of fermionic systems, such as the derivatives of electronic ground and exited states of molecules and materials with respect to the positions of the nuclei, with the help of a quantum computer. The method has the advantageous property that first-order derivative properties with respect to an arbitrary number of parameters of the fermionic system can be computed with a quantum computational effort that is independent of the number of such parameters. First-order derivatives of additional observables, such as wave function overlaps, multipole moments, and electronic density characteristics with respect to additional derivative perturbations, such as nuclear charges and electromagnetic fields, can be evaluated within the same framework, with additional applications such as computation of non-adiabatic dynamics, (hyper)polarizabilities, electrical conductivities, and various spectroscopies of the molecular or material system in question.

Abstract

Provided is a composition comprising: A) an aromatic polycarbonate or an aromatic polyester carbonate, B) an acrylonitrile/butadiene/styrene polymer, C) a stabilization package comprising C.1) a phosphate ester included in an amount greater than zero but less than 0.1 wt.%, C.2) a phenolic antioxidant included in an amount greater than zero but less than 0.3 wt.%, and optionally C.3) a UV light absorber, and optionally D) one or more components selected from the group consisting of polymer additives, polymeric blending partners different from component B, and optionally E) colorants. The composition provides good thermal stabilization of polycarbonate/acrylonitrile/butadiene/styrene (PC/ABS) blends with a surprisingly low variation in the yellowness index (YI) value and reduces residual BPA content while retaining mechanical and thermal properties and providing potentially good hydrolytic stability.
