Abstract:
Disclosed is a process for the catalytic dehydrogenation of alkanes so as to form the corresponding olefins. The reaction mixture is subjected to membrane separation of hydrogen, in a separate unit. Preferably a plurality of alternating reaction and separation units is used. The process of the invention serves the purpose of reducing coke formation on the catalyst, and also of achieving a higher alkane conversion without a similar increase in coke formation. The process can also be used for the production of hydrogen.
Abstract:
A method for startup and management of a combined cycle heating system for the production of power includes the execution of several functional units according to a predefined sequence.
Abstract:
Batch reactor comprising a reaction vessel that is longitudinally shaped and has a side wall that encloses a reaction space of the reaction vessel. The reaction vessel is arranged for holding in the reaction space a reaction mixture that comprises polyamide and/or a liquid monomer composition. The reaction further has a bottom wall that further encloses the reaction space. The side wall extends in a longitudinal direction of the reaction vessel that is, in use, directed upwards. The batch reactor has an outer heat exchanger for exchanging heat with the reaction space for enabling a polymerization reaction. The outer heat exchanger covers at least a part of the side wall. The batch reactor comprises an inner heat exchanger that is provided in the reaction space. The inner heat exchanger is, at least partly, surrounded by the outer heat exchanger. The batch reactor comprises an agitator for transporting the reaction mixture.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for the removal of ammonia from the off-gas of a finishing section of a urea production plant. The method comprises contacting the off-gas with a solid adsorbent capable of physically adsorbing ammonia, particularly activated carbon or zeolite. Thereupon the solid adsorbent having ammonia adsorbed thereon is separated from the gas and regenerated by dissolving ammonia in an extraction liquid, preferably water. After separating the water from the solid adsorbent, the latter is re-used in the process.
Abstract:
The invention relates to crosslinked oriented high molecular weight polyethylene, containing up to 30 % (wt) crosslinked poly-1,4-butadiene. The poly-1,4-butadiene preferably consists for at least 90 % (mole) of poly-trans-1,4-butadiene. The invention also relates to a process for preparing articles from such polyethylene.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a water-soluble resin that can be used as a dispersant. The resin is substantially built up from units of: A) polyethylene glycol with (5-100) ethylene oxide units, B) a compound containing one or more allyl and/or (meth)acrylate groups and C) the reaction product of one or more unsaturated fatty acids or one or more polyalcohol(s) wholly or partly esterified with unsaturated fatty acids with a compound, where the A:C molar ratio is between 0.5:1 and 4:1 and the B:C molar ratio is between 0.5:1 and 4:1.
Abstract:
Thin self-supporting green compact, less than 25 mu thick, containing an inorganic substance and as a binder a polymer with a weight average molecular weight of more than 400,000, which polymer in a suitable solvent can form a thermoreversible gel above room temperature, the volume fraction of the inorganic substance being more than 45 % relative to the total amount of binder plus inorganic substance and a process to prepare such green compacts.
Abstract:
In a process for preparing ammonia from hydrogen and nitrogen the synthesis gas mixture is produced by partial oxidation, in the presence of a suitable catalyst, at a pressure of from 35 to 150 bar and temperatures of from 850-1200 C at the exit of the partial oxidation zone, followed by removal of the carbon oxides and water from the gaseous effluent of the partial oxidation zone. The air used for the catalytic partial oxidation is supplied in such a quantity that the molar ratio of hydrogen to nitrogen in the synthesis gas is between 2.5 and 3 to 1 and is enriched with such a quantity of oxygen that the total quantity of oxygen is sufficient to effect the required degree of hydrocarbon conversion.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for the integrated production of two different urea products. One is an aqueous urea solution suitable for use in NOx abatement (generally indicated as Diesel Exhaust Fluid DEF). The other is a solution used as a fertilizer, viz. Urea Ammonium Nitrate (UAN). The production of DEF and UAN are integrated as follows: ammonia recovered from the production of urea is used as a feed to the production of ammonium nitrate. At least part of an aqueous urea stream from urea production, is mixed with ammonium nitrate so as to obtain UAN.
Abstract:
The disclosure pertains to urea production with, in series, an MP carbamate condenser for condensing at least urea synthesis section off-gas, gas/liquid separation giving a gas stream and a liquid stream, and a second carbamate condenser receiving off-gas from melamine production and said liquid stream.
