When producing biodiesel from fats, oils or split fatty acids rich in steryl glycosides, the light phase rich in fatty acid alkyl esters, which is obtained from the transesterification or esterification, is washed with water in a washing column, wherein the suspension layer formed is treated by stirring. In this way, the steryl glycosides are transferred into the light phase of the wash. In a subsequent treatment of the light washer phase with water in an intensive mixer, compact steryl glycoside/fatty acid alkyl ester/water agglomerates are obtained, which can easily be separated by means of centrifugation. From the light phase of centrifugation, on-spec biodiesel is obtained upon further processing by drying and/or filtration. This process is suitable for processing fats, oils or split fatty acids with a high content of steryl glycosides and avoids the use of auxiliary substances foreign to the process. It is characterized by simplicity of equipment and a low demand for energy.

In a process for distilling polymerization-prone compounds from liquid mixtures of matter which, apart from the readily polymerizable compound, also contain other components and also polymerization inhibitors, the evaporator is operated in forced circulation and at a pressure which makes possible superheating of the liquid with respect to its boiling point at the pressure within the distillation column. This is achieved by transporting the superheated liquid against a flow restrictor, e.g. an orifice plate. The liquid which is expanded and partially evaporated on passage through the flow restrictor is returned to the distillation column. In this manner the formation of an open vapour space in the evaporator circuit after heating downstream of the heat exchanger is avoided in that, in the design of the evaporator of the prior art, formation of polymer deposits frequently occurs.

In order to increase the quality of the products, according to the invention the hydrocarbon product obtained in the first process step is separated into a liquid and a gaseous phase before being introduced to the second process step, the gaseous phase of the hydrocarbon product is fed into the second process step, the liquid phase of the hydrocarbon product is separated in a second separating device into a mixture rich in C6-hydrocarbons and a mixture comprising C7+-hydrocarbon and aromatics, and the C6-hydrocarbon-rich mixture is fed into the second process step. The mixture comprising C7+-hydrocarbons and aromatics can be added to the gasoline product to improve quality.

In a gas scrubber (10), a gas stream (27) containing at least one sublimated substance is brought into contact with a liquid or melt stream which contains at least one thermally convertible substance (8) and has a lower temperature than the gas stream. For intensive and intimate mixing of the gas stream with the liquid stream or melt stream, in the upper part of the gas scrubber (10) there is provided a perforated plate (38) having a plurality of holes (39) each surrounded by a throttling rim (40) and above the perforated plate feeds are provided for the gas stream (27) and the liquid or melt stream (8).

A process is described for utilization of the oxidation offgases which are obtained in the oxidative preparation of terephthalic acid from p-xylene, in which these offgases are first returned completely to standard pressure, then cleaned oxidatively and washed, and a substream of these cleaned offgases, before removal through the chimney, is branched off, compressed and dried, and then used for the pneumatic delivery of terephthalic acid.

Abrégé

According to the invention, synthesis gas is produced from a starting material, particularly natural gas, which contains hydrocarbons, by dividing a feed flow of the starting material into a first partial flow and a second partial flow. The first partial flow is fed to a steam reformer (4) in which said partial flow, along with steam, is catalytically converted into a gas flow containing carbon oxides. The first partial flow is then recombined with the second partial flow, and the combined gas flow is fed to an autothermal reformer (7) in which the gas flow is autothermally reformed to a synthesis gas along with oxygen-rich gas in the presence of a cracking catalyst. In order to be able to process a starting material that has a high concentration of higher hydrocarbons, the entire starting material is fed to a pre-reformer (2) upstream of the steam reformer (4) and upstream of the autothermal reformer (7), higher hydrocarbons being largely eliminated from the starting material in said pre-reformer (2).

The invention relates to producing C2-C4-olefins, in particular propylene, from an educt mixture containing water vapour and methanol and/or dimethyl ether, wherein the inventive method consists in transforming the educt mixture on a catalyst in a reactor into a reaction mixture containing low-molecular olefins and gasoline hydrocarbons, in separating said mixture in a first separation device into an olefin C5-rich mixture, a C5+- gasoline hydrocarbon-rich mixture and into a gaseous phase. In order to increase a propylene yield, the C5+- gasoline hydrocarbon-rich mixture is directed to a second separation device, wherein aromatics contained in the mixture are separated, and residue flow which is substantially aromatic-free is redirected at least partially to the reactor.
