The present invention relates to a process for the separation of vinyl acetate from a gas mixture formed by the reaction of ethylene with acetic acid and oxygen in the gas phase over catalysts comprising palladium or palladium compounds.

Process for the manufacturing of vinyl acetate

A process for isolating vinyl acetate from the gas mixture formed in the reaction of ethylene with acetic acid and oxygen in the gas phase over catalysts comprising palladium or palladium compounds, with recirculation of the acetic-acid solution obtained in the circulating gas scrubber to the first distillation column (predewatering column).

Process for isolating vinyl acetate

The present invention relates to a method of saturating ethylene-containing gases with acetic acid before they are fed into a vinyl acetate reactor, in which the acetic acid recovered in the vinyl acetate process is introduced into a column having a countercurrent stripping section and a rectification section and ethylene-containing gas is supplied via the bottom, wherein the liquid taken off at the bottom of the column is divided into two substreams and one substream is pumped back into the column with maintenance of a minimum pumped circulation required for sufficient saturation with acetic acid.

Process for preparing vinyl acetate

A process for working up crude, liquid vinyl acetate feed containing acetic acid, water and ethyl acetate and optionally smaller amounts of other impurities by distillation, wherein there is introduced into the distillation column, above the feed point of the crude, liquid vinyl acetate, 0.1 to 5% by weight of water, based on the crude, liquid vinyl acetate feed, and 0.1 to 60% by weight of acetic acid, based on the crude, liquid vinyl acetate feed.

Process for working up crude, liquid vinyl acetate

Heterogeneous, solvent- and plasticizer-free polyvinyl ester dispersions which are stabilized by protective colloids and which have a minimum filming temperature of below 10.degree. C. are disclosed. These dispersions are made of a mixture of

Heterogeneous polyvinyl ester dispersions and powders

Dispersion powders including (a) a polymer of vinyl ester, vinyl ester/ethylene, (meth)acrylate or styrene/acrylate homo- and copolymers, (b) 1 to 25% by weight, based on the total weight of the polymer, of a protective colloid, (c) 0.1 to 10% by weight, based on the total weight of the polymer, of at least one saturated carboxylic acid ester of the formula C.sub.n H.sub.(2n+1) COOC.sub.m H.sub.(2m+1) where n=5 to 22 and m=1 to 8, and (d) 0 to 20% by weight, based on the total weight of the polymer, of anticaking agent, are useful, for example, as modifying agents in mortar and concrete for increasing the flexural tensile strength, compressive strength, and/or adhesive strength thereof.

Dispersion powders and method of preparation and use thereof

A copolymer in dispersion or redispersible powder form which is stabilized by a protective colloid and has a glass transition temperature of -40.degree. to 10.degree. C. and an ethylene content of at least 30% by weight, based on the total amount of monomers, with a heterogeneous build-up of the copolymer particles, including a first polymer phase, which includes vinyl acetate and &gt;40% by weight of ethylene, based on the total amount of monomers in this phase, and a last copolymer phase, which includes vinyl acetate and 5 to 40% by weight of ethylene, based on the total amount of monomers in this phase, is suitable, for example, as a binder in building materials.
