Abstract

In a method for handling a product, in particular a viscous, pasty product, with at least one rotating shaft (3, 11) in a product space (5), a driving spindle (11) of the shaft (3) is mounted and sealed outside the product space (5) in a housing consisting of a plurality of parts (7, 8, 12). The sealing is brought about by means of at least two seals (2, 4), wherein a dynamic seal (2) follows an eccentric movement of the shaft (3) and takes on dynamic sealing of the rotating shaft (3), while another seal (4) compensates for an eccentric movement of the shaft (3) in relation to the housing by means of plastic or elastic deformation and therefore prevents a leakage between the housing part (12), which moves eccentrically, and a rigid housing (10). A defined quantity of liquid, which serves as a blocking agent and lubricant for the dynamic seal (2) of the shaft (3) towards the housing part (7), is metered in here, said liquid, apart from a residual excess, being drawn into the dynamic seal (2) by means of a pressure difference therewithin and thereby forming an effective block and seal.

Abstract

In a method for the thermal separation of a volatile substance from a non- or less volatile substrate having a phase boundary towards a gas chamber that receives the volatile substance subsequent to vaporisation and/or sublimation, mechanical energy is supplied to the phase boundary between the substrate and the gas chamber to increase the material exchange of the volatile substance. In the process, the material exchange is increased by the addition of an additive or mechanical energy to the surface of the phase transition in such manner that said supplied mechanical energy destroys bubbles containing the volatile substrate, so that the volatile substrate can escape to the gas chamber.

In a process for thermal separation of a solution composed of thermoplastic polymer and solvent, in which the solution is heated under pressure above the critical point of the solvent and then decompressed into a vessel (5) so as to form a polymer-rich phase and a low-polymer phase, the polymer-rich phase being supplied to a second vessel (8), a) a pressure jump on entry into the second vessel (8) should lead to a thermal flash in the second vessel (8), the polymer content of the heavy phase rising to at least 70%, especially more than 80%, and b) the resulting polymer-rich solution is supplied - especially distributed over at least a portion of the length of a stirrer shaft - which is within the same vessel space and which heats the polymer composition by mechanical kneading energy with the effect that the polymer content rises to >70%, especially >90%.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for carrying out polymerisation processes, wherein a (co-)polymerisation of monomer(s) takes place in a first stage and a separation of product and monomers, oligomers, reaction products and additives or solvents takes place in a second stage. Before and/or in the second stage, which is to say during finishing, a substance is to be added to the reaction mixture, by which substance stripping and/or influencing of the temperature is effected, whereby the reaction equilibrium is shifted toward the polymers, wherein the speed of reaction to the monomer is slowed. A second possibility is that before and/or in the second stage, which is to say during finishing, a substance is added to the reaction mixture, by which substance stopping and, as a second function stripping, and/or influencing of the temperature is effected.
