A process for purifying an aqueous solution to obtain purified gaseous acrolein by introducing the aqueous solution into a distillation column equipped at its base with at least one boiler and at its top with at least one condenser, withdrawing a liquid mixture essentially containing water at the base of the distillation column, withdrawing a gas essentially containing acrolein and water at the top of the distillation column, cooling the gas mixture withdrawn at the top of the distillation column in the condenser, to a temperature which makes it possible to obtain, on the one hand, an aqueous condensate and, on the other hand, an acrolein-rich gas mixture, and withdrawing the acrolein-rich gas mixture.

Method for the purification of acrolein

The present invention relates to a method for supplying bioavailable methionine to a cow which comprises supplying to the cow an ester of methionine or methionine amide and/or an ester of the hydroxy analogue of methionine or a salt thereof.

Method for supplying bioavailable methionine to a cow

A process for the production of methionine which comprises (a) hydrolysing the methionine amide in the presence of a catalyst comprising titanium to produce ammonium methioninate, said catalyst having a porosity of from 5 to 1000 nm, a total pore volume of from 0.2 to 0.55 cm/g and a surface area of from 30 to 150 m/g, and (b) a second step of recuperating methionine from the ammonium methioninate salt by removing ammonia. Also claimed is an industrial process for the production of methionine incorporating the aforementioned hydrolysis.

Process for the production of methionine

The invention relates to a new process for the preparation of hydroxymethylthiobutyric acid by sulphuric hydrolysis of hydroxymethylthiobutyronitrile.

Process for the preparation of hydroxymethylbutyric acid

The invention concerns an improved method for separating hydroxymethylthiobutyric acid by neutralising hydroxymethylthiobutyronitrile sulphuric hydrolysate, decanting and treating each phase with an organic solvent.

Method for separating hydroxymethylthiobutyric acid

A process for the production of an organic phosphorus-containing product, which comprises reacting a phosphorus-containing oxide with an unsaturated hydrocarbon in the presence of a boron-containing compound at a temperature of less than or equal to 50&deg; C.

Process for the production of a phosphorus-containing organic compound

A process for the production of methionine which comprises (a) hydrolysing the methionine amide in the presence of a catalyst comprising titanium to produce ammonium methioninate, said catalyst having a porosity of from 5 to 1000 nm, a total pore volume of from 0.2 to 0.55 cm /g and a surface area of from 30 to 150 m /g, and (b) a second step of recuperating methionine from the ammonium methioninate salt by removing ammonia. Also claimed is an industrial process for the production of methionine incorporating the aforementioned hydrolysis.

A process for the preparation of 2-hydroxy-4-methylthiobutyric acid ester which comprises (a) a first step of reacting 2-hydroxy-4-methylthiobutyronitrile with sulphuric acid to produce 2-hydroxy-4-methylthiobutyramide, and (b) a second step of reacting the 2-hydroxy-4-methylthiobutyramide with an alcohol to produce a 2-hydroxy-4-methylthiobutyric acid ester, the two steps being carried out in the same reaction medium.

Process for the preparation of hydroxy methylthiobutyric acid esters

The invention concerns a method for preparing methionine aminoamide. The invention also concerns the preparation of methionine without co-production of salts, from an aqueous solution containing essentially methionine aminonitrile by producing during a first step aminoamide followed by two complementary steps.
