Abstract

The invention relates to a method for treating residue from the production of organic isocyanates via the phosgenation of organic amines, comprising a step of mixing a first residue A with a second residue B, obtaining a residue mixture, wherein the residue A is obtained from the production of 1,5-pentane diisocyanate and the residue B comes from the production of an isocyanate that is different from 1,5-pentane diisocyanate. The invention also relates to the use of a first residue A from the production of 1,5-pentane diisocyanate to stabilise a second residue B from the production of at least one organic isocyanate that is different from 1,5-pentane diisocyanate, and stabilised residue mixtures.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for recovering raw materials from polyurethane products, having the steps of: (A) providing a polyurethane product based on an isocyanate component and a polyol component; (B) reacting the polyurethane product with an alcohol in the presence of a catalyst, wherein a first product mixture containing alcohol, polyols, carbamates, and optionally water is obtained; (C) preparing the first product mixture, having the steps of: (C.I.) mixing the first product mixture obtained in step (B) with an organic solvent, which can be mixed with the alcohol used in step (B), optionally followed by a separation of solid components, thereby obtaining a second product mixture; (C.II) washing the second product mixture obtained in step (C.I) using an aqueous washing fluid, wherein carbamates contained in the second product mixture are hydrogenated partly while releasing amines and alcohol, and carrying out a phase separation into a first solvent phase, containing the organic solvent used in step (C.I) and polyols, and a first aqueous phase, containing water, alcohol, carbamates, and amines; and (C.III) processing the first solvent phase, thereby obtaining the polyols; and optionally (D) processing the first aqueous phase, thereby obtaining an amine which corresponds to an isocyanate of the isocyanate component.

Abstract

The present invention generally relates to a method of determining a composition of molecule fragments via a combined experimental –machine learning approach and a corresponding data processing circuit and computer program. The method comprises the step of recording sample spectroscopic data of a sample mixture of molecule fragments. The method also comprises the step of determining data sets of expected spectroscopic data. The method further comprises the step of determining matching levels between the sample spectroscopic data and expected spectroscopic data of data sets stored in a data storage device. The data sets each comprise at least one data tuple of expected spectroscopic data and a molecule fragment composition associated thereto. In at least one of the steps of determining data sets of expected spectroscopic data and determining matching levels between the sample spectroscopic data and expected spectroscopic data, the determining is carried out using a deep neural network, the deep neural network being trained based on machine learning. Furthermore, the method comprises the step of outputting data identifying a molecule fragment composition of a particular data set for which associated respective expected spectroscopic data a matching level is determined to reach or exceed a predetermined matching threshold.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a two-component coating composition, a coating method and use of the composition, and a product coated with the coating composition. The two- component coating composition comprises a component A and a component B, wherein the component A comprises an aqueous hydroxyl-containing polyacrylic dispersion, the component B comprises a polyether-modified polyisocyanate, wherein the composition has a molar ratio of isocyanate groups and hydroxyl groups of 1.2: 1 to 2: 1; wherein the aqueous hydroxyl-containing polyacrylic dispersion has a hydroxyl content of greater than 2% by weight, relative to the total weight of solids of the aqueous hydroxyl-containing polyacrylic dispersion, and wherein the aqueous hydroxyl-containing polyacrylic dispersion has a weight- average molecular weight of not higher than 450000. The two-component coating composition provided by the present invention has a matte effect and is easy to clean.
