The present invention relates to the use of epoxy-terminated polydiene having terminal epoxy groups as oxygen scavenger, in particular as constituent in packaging.

Epoxy-terminated polybutadiene as oxygen scavenger

Provided is a process for producing an aldehyde from an alkylene. The process includes (a) photocatalytically dehydrogenating at least one alkane to obtain a mixture comprising at least one olefin and hydrogen, (b) adding carbon dioxide and hydrogen to the mixture, and (c) hydroformylating the olefin to at least one aldehyde. The process also includes converting carbon dioxide and hydrogen into water and carbon monoxide prior to the hydroformylating. In addition, the conversion of carbon dioxide and hydrogen into water and carbon monoxide is performed by a reverse water gas shift reaction.

Purification of a monomer by extraction with a phase former and crystallization

A process for the continuous preparation of very highly concentrated hydrogen peroxide having a content of greater than 80 wt.%, especially over 98 wt.%, by suspension crystallization and after-treatment of the H O crystals. The after-treatment takes the form of countercurrent washing in a hydraulic or mechanical washing column with a packed crystal bed. Hydrogen peroxide is disclosed having a concentration of from 99.9 to 100 wt.% and a content of TOC, nitrate, phosphate, nickel and tin of in each case less than 4 mg/l.

Crystallization process for producing highly concentrated hydrogen peroxide

A process for the concentration of aqueous hydrogen peroxide by discontinuous crystallization. A cooling surface is arranged in a crystallizing vessel and first wetted with hydrogen peroxide and then cooled at a high cooling rate, whereupon seed crystals form. The cooling rate is at least 1 K/s, preferably from 10 to 30 K/s. When the vessel has been filled with H O starting material, the latter crystallizes, starting from the seed crystals, and forms a crystal layer. When the mother liquor of lower H O concentration has been discharged, there follows a sweating operation with a slow increase in temperature, as a result of which the H O concentration in the crystal layer is increased further.
