20110028664SUPERABSORBENT POLYMER MADE FROM ACRYLIC ACID - The invention relates to a superabsorbent polymer that includes a (meth)acrylic acid made by a process that comprises the following process steps: a) (meth)acrylic acid is crystallized out from a mother liquor; b) crystallized (meth)acrylic acid is separated from the mother liquor; c) at least part of the separated (meth)acrylic acid crystals are melted; d) the melted part is at least partially recycled to the step a) or step b). The superabsorbent polymer according to the present invention includes an process to make (meth)acrylic acid, the apparatus suitable for implementing the process, and the use of the apparatus for the production of (meth)acrylic acid characterized by a high purity of the thereby obtainable (meth)acrylic acid as well as by a high efficiency with regard to the achievable yield and necessary energy requirement, thereby providing an improved superabsorbent polymer.02-03-2011

20080287616Process for Production of (Meth)Acrylic Acid with High Boiling Fraction Work-Up By Means of Crystallization - A process for production of (meth)acrylic acid is disclosed. The process includes synthesizing and distillatively working-up a crude (meth)acrylic acid phase to obtain a (meth)acrylic acid phase and a dimer phase including (meth)acrylic acid dimers and/or (meth)acrylic acid oligomers. At least a part of the (meth)acrylic acid dimers and/or of the (meth)acrylic acid oligomers from the dimer phase is split to obtain a (meth)acrylic acid including a low-boiling phase and a high-boiling phase including less (meth)acrylic acid than the low-boiling phase. At least a part of the (meth)acrylic acid from the low-boiling phase is separated by forming of one or more crystals to obtain a pure (meth)acrylic acid and a residue. Also disclosed is a device for production of (meth)acrylic acid, a process for production of a polymer as well as chemical products based on or including (meth)acrylic acid or a polymer as well as the use of (meth)acrylic acid or polymers in chemical products.11-20-2008
