The present invention relates to a process for drying particulate polymers, comprising the steps of:  The present invention further relates to a process for working up particulate polymers.

Method for drying particulate polymers

The invention relates to a method for producing and using a solid sodium diformate having a high formic acid content, to the use thereof in animal foods in the form of an acidifier, preservatives, ensilage auxiliary agents, fertilizers, and a growth and productivity-stimulating agent and the inventive animal food additives containing sodium diformate.

Sodium diformate production and use

A process for the preparation of a spray-dried powder containing at least one glycine-N,N-diacetic acid compound of a formula MOOC&#x2014;CHR&#x2014;N(CHCOOM), where R is a C-alkyl and M is an alkali metal, the process including: preparing an aqueous solution containing the glycine-N,N-diacetic acid compound; concurrently passing the aqueous solution and air into a spray-drying apparatus; atomizing the aqueous solution by feeding the aqueous solution onto a rotating disk or by compressing the aqueous solution with a pump to a pressure of &#x2267;20 bar absolute, to obtain fine liquid droplets; and drying the droplets, to obtain the spray-dried powder, where a temperature gradient between the aqueous solution and the air is in a range from 70 to 350&#xb0; C., and a content of the glycine-N,N-diacetic acid compound in the aqueous solution is &#x2267;84% by weight, based on a total weight of the dry mass.

Process for the preparation of a spray powder comprising one or more glycine-N,N-diacetic acid derivatives and use of the spray powder for producing compression agglomerates

A method for recovering catalytic elements from a fuel cell membrane electrode assembly is provided. The method includes converting the membrane electrode assembly into a particulate material, wetting the particulate material, forming a slurry comprising the wetted particulate material and an acid leachate adapted to dissolve at least one of the catalytic elements into a soluble catalytic element salt, separating the slurry into a depleted particulate material and a supernatant containing the catalytic element salt, and washing the depleted particulate material to remove any catalytic element salt retained within pores in the depleted particulate material.

Method for recovering catalytic elements from fuel cell membrane electrode assemblies

The present invention relates to a process for producing a solid sodium diformate preparation having a formic acid content of at least 35% by weight based on the total weight of sodium diformate preparation, in which, at elevated temperature, an aqueous solution (E) is produced which comprises sodium formate and formic acid in a molar ratio of HCOOH:HCOONa of greater than 1.5:1 and which has a molar ratio of HCOOH:HO of at least 1.1:1, the aqueous solution (E) is brought to crystallization to obtain a solid phase (F) and a mother liquor (G), and the solid phase (F) is separated off from the mother liquor (G),

Production of sodium diformate

A method is provided for recovering a catalytic element from a fuel cell membrane electrode assembly. The method includes grinding the membrane electrode assembly into a powder, extracting the catalytic element by forming a slurry comprising the powder and an acid leachate adapted to dissolve the catalytic element into a soluble salt, and separating the slurry into a depleted powder and a supernatant containing the catalytic element salt. The depleted powder is washed to remove any catalytic element salt retained within pores in the depleted powder and the catalytic element is purified from the salt.

Preparation of polyphenylene ether/polyamide molding materials

In order to prepare thermoplastic molding materials from pulverulent polyphenylene ethers and aromatic vinyl polymers by melt extrusion, the pulverulent polyphenylene ether is first of all compacted and/or sintered under pressure and if necessary with the addition of heat, preferably under a pressure corresponding to a nip pressure of from 1 to 100 kN/cm, to form a porous compact. The compact is then fed in the form of agglomerates having a particle size of from about 0.5 mm to about 20 mm into an extruder or the like, mixed with the aromatic vinyl polymer and if desired further components, and melted. In this way the proportion of the fines in the polyphenylene ether is considerably reduced, with the result that there is virtually no further danger of dust explosions. Further advantages include improved ease of metering and reduced electrostatic charge of the agglomerates. The extruded molding materials have good mechanical properties and also high thermal stability.
