Abstract

Processes for continuously producing a polymer polyol (“PMPO”). The process includes free-radically polymerizing an ethylenically unsaturated monomer composition in the presence of a base polyol, in which the polymerizing occurs in a continuous stirred tank reactor (“CSTR”) that has an external recirculation loop comprising a pump and a heat exchanger arranged in series with respect to each other. A stream of the reactor contents is (i) continuously removed from the reactor, (ii) then continuously flows through the pump and the heat exchanger, and (iv) then continuously returns to the CSTR. A ratio of reactor system residence time to recirculation loop residence time is 10 to 93.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method involving the production of aminobenzoic acid, said method having the steps of: (A) fermenting a raw material containing a reducing sugar and a nitrogen-containing compound in the presence of microorganisms in a fermentation reactor in order to form an aminobenzoate anion-containing fermentation product, wherein the pH value is kept in the range of 6.0 to 8.5 during the fermentation process by adding an inorganic base, (B) separating the microorganisms from the fermentation product, thereby obtaining a clarified fermentation product, and (C) precipitating aminobenzoic acid from the clarified fermentation product by setting a pH value of 3.0 to 4.7 by adding a protonic acid and separating the precipitated aminobenzoic acid, thereby leaving a mother liquor. The mother liquor obtained in step (C) is supplied to step (A).

Abstract

The invention relates to the production of aminobenzoic acid using a method having the steps of (A) providing an aminobenzoate anion-containing fermentation broth by carrying out a fermentation process in the presence of microorganisms selected from Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas putida, Corynebacterium glutamicum, Bacillus coagulans, or a mixture of two or more of the aforementioned microorganisms and subsequently carrying out a clarification process, (B) setting a pH value of 3.0 to 5.5 in the aminobenzoate anion-containing fermentation broth by adding formic acid, (C) separating aminobenzoic acid precipitated in step (B), and (D) partly or completely introducing the mother liquor precipitated in step (C) to the fermentation, thereby depleting the formate anions contained in the mother liquor and the formic acid by means of (i) an added enzyme preparation and/or (ii) the microorganisms used in step (A) and/or (iii) added additional microorganisms which differ from the microorganisms used in step (A). The aminobenzoic acid obtained in this manner can be converted into secondary products, in particular into aniline and, in the case of ortho-aminobenzoic acid, into isatoic anhydride or anthranilic acid ester, which can be used as starting materials in the production of polymeric compounds such as polyurethanes or poly(anthranilamide).

Abstract

The invention relates to a multi-layer body, comprising (I) a carrier layer made of a special thermoplastic polycarbonate molding compound and (II) a layer made of a material selected from the group consisting of stone products, hide products, textile fabrics containing synthetic fibers, materials of plant origin or materials containing components of plant origin, or laminates containing one or more of the aforementioned materials, wherein the layer (II) has either a specified minimum transmission or at least one recess in the shape of at least one symbol, a pattern, a hole, a line, or a sign, or the layer has punctiform recesses. The invention also relates to a lighting unit, comprising the multi-layer body and a light source, to a method for producing the multi-layer body, and to the use of the special thermoplastic polycarbonate molding compound as a carrier layer of such a multi-layer body.

Abstract

Photopolymer compositions include a) matrix polymers, b) writing monomers, c) at least one photoinitiator system, d) optionally at least one non-photopolymerisable component, e) optionally catalysts, radical stabilisers, solvents, additives and other auxiliary and/or additional materials. The at least one photoinitiator system c) consists of at least one colouring agent and at least one coinitiator. At least one of the colouring agents has a structure according to formula (II), and the at least one coinitiator has a calculated oxidation potential (E); determined according to the formula (1).
