A process for preparing methane diphenyl diamine (MDA) or a mixture of methane diphenyl diamine (MDA) and its higher homologues with a controlled isomer distribution using a modified zeolite having 'shape selectivity'. The mixture contains compounds having the following general formula (I): where R represents a hydrogen atom or a C1 to C8 (iso)alkyl group, a C4 to C10 cycloalkyl group or a C6 to C12 aromatic group and n is a whole number greater than or equal to one so as to give a functionality of 2 to 6.

A process for preparing methane diphenyl diamine (MDA) or a mixture of methane diphenyl diamine (MDA) and its higher homologues with a controlled isomer distribution using a silanised zeolite have 'shape selectivity'. The mixture contains compounds having the following general formula (I): where R represents a hydrogen atom or a Cto C(iso) alkyl group, a Cto Ccycloalkyl group or a Cto Caromatic group and n is a whole number greater than or equal to one so as to give a functionally of 2 to 6.

Process for the production of diaminodiphenylmethane and its higher homologues products, which comprises reacting aniline, or one of its derivatives, and formaldehyde, or a compound capable of producing formaldehyde under the reaction conditions, in the presence of a zeolite in acid form having a spaciousness index ranging from 2.5 to 19.

Process for the production of diaminodiphenylmethane and its higher homologues

A modified poly(2,6-dimethyl-p-oxyphenylene) with a glass transition temperature in the range of 180.degree.-220.degree. C. is described in which on the average between 10 and 60% of the macromolecules carry:

Alkylene oxide modified poly(2,6-dimethyl-p-oxyphenylene)

An asymmetrical membrane for use in dialysis and ultra-filtration is prepared using a polyester-amide (TATE).sub.n, wherein T represents a radical of terephthalic acid, A represents a radical of hexamethylenediamine, and E represents a radical of hexanediol, in a solvent of formic acid or in a solvent comprising a solution of lithium chloride in dimethylformamide or dimethylacetamide. The polyester-amide (TATE).sub.n is formed into a thin layer and placed into an aqueous coagulation bath to coagulate the resulting membrane. The membrane has a thickness of from 15 to 190 .mu.m, a water permeability of from about 3 up to about 9 liters/m.sup.2 /hour for a .DELTA.P of 300 mm.sub.HG and is permeable for substances having a molecular weight of up to about 17,000.
