Abstract:
A process for producing a 1,3-diol, e.g., 1,3-propanediol or a 3-hydroxyaldehyde is disclosed which comprises contacting a combination of an epoxide carbon monoxide and hydrogen in the present of a rhodium-containing catalyst effective to promote the hydroformylation of the epoxide at conditions effective to form at least one of a 1,3-diol and a 3-hydroxyaldehyde, the contacting occurring in the substantial absence of a promoting amount of alkali metal ions, and at least a portion of the rhodium-containing catalyst being formed substantially without incorporation of the epoxide. A process for producing such rhodium-containing compositions is also disclosed.

A process for preparing nonaromatic N,N,N-trisubstituted nitrogen-containing compounds which comprises heating a nonaromatic carboxylated N,N,N-trisubstituted nitrogen-containing compound at an elevated temperature for a period of time sufficient to produce the nonaromatic N,N,N-trisubstituted nitrogen-containing compound.
Abstract:
Catalyseur au vanadium à support amélioré, notamment système catalytique de Beran et al. amélioré et procédé de polymérisation éthylénique dans lequel l'amélioration provient de la fixation du promoteur à un composant de la composition catalytique, de manière qu'il constitue un composant moléculairement structurel du catalyseur et qu'il n'est pas ajouté séparément à la réaction de polymérisation, mais au lieu de cela il fait partie de la composition catalytique ajoutée à la réaction.

Abstract:
An improved ethylene polymerization process and catalyst system based on the use of a siliceous containing supported precursor of vanadium halide/electron donor complex, which utilizes chemisorption, as well as physisorption, of the catalyst to the support. This is effected by fixing the vanadium halide/electron donor complex in the support with a zinc alkyl compound that is chemisorbed to the support.
Abstract:
A supported, electron donor-complexed reduced vanadium ( /zirconium coimpregnated catalyst possessing enhanced activity, the methods of its manufacture and ethylene polymers of broad molecular weight distribution produced therewith.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to apparatus and methods for effectively supplying, feeding, measuring, proportioning, mixing, pressurizing, and heating on a semi-continuous basis, a plurality of fluids. Preferably, the fluids comprise at least one substantially non-compressible fluid, such as coating formulation, and at least one substantially compressible fluid, such as carbon dioxide, to form a substantially accurately proportionated coating admixture in the supercritical state of the compressible fluid for spraying the combined mixture through a spraying means onto a substrate to produce a coating. The process employs vessels having a known displacement volume to feed and proportion the fluids. The pressurization, mixing and heating is accomplished in an oscillation loop wherein the mixture is pressurized and heated while in such oscillation loop. A spray gun connected to the oscillation loop is used to spray the mixture.
Abstract:
A stable polymer polyol made by the in situ polymerization of two or more monomers in a polyol blend wherein at least one monomer is a bifunctional compound containing both an isocyanate group and an ethylinically unsaturated group and wherein the polyol blend contains a base polyol and an amine terminated polyether which is more reactive with the bifunctional compound than is the base polyol.
