Latest Patents

Atkins’s patent, “Methods of Using N-Oxyl Polymerization Inhibitor in a Wash Settler for Preparing Methyl Methacrylate,” describes treating a crude MMA stream that contains sulfur acid. The method washes and preferably neutralizes the stream, producing aqueous and organic components. It adds one or more N-oxyl compounds as polymerization inhibitors to a specified component before separating the aqueous phase from the organic phase. The process is intended to remove residual (meth)acrylic acid and produce a treated crude MMA stream.
