Abstract:
A process for the removal of sulfur oxides from a gas which comprises (a) contacting the sulfur oxide-containing gas with at least one of certain metal, oxygen-containing components, e.g., modified perovskite-type components, at conditions effective to associate at least a portion of the sulfur oxides with the component to reduce the amount of sulfur oxides in the gas; and (b) contacting the component containing associated sulfur oxides at conditions effective to reduce the amount of sulfur associated with the component.
Abstract:
An improved process for converting hydrocarbons using a catalyst which is periodically regenerated to remove carbonaceous deposits, the catalyst being comprised of a mixture containing, as a major component, solid particles capable of promoting hydrocarbon conversion at hydrocarbon conversion conditions, and, as a minor component, discrete entities comprising at least one spinel, preferably alkaline earth metal-containing spinel; thereby reducing the amount of sulfur oxides exiting the catalyst regeneration zone.Improved hydrocarbon conversion catalysts are also disclosed.

Abstract:
Solid .pi.-allyl complex catalysts comprising:(A) A palladium source;(B) A monotertiary phosphine electron donor ligand;(C) A combination of a reducing agent capable of reducing the palladium source to an oxidation state of less than 2 and a Lewis acid capable of forming a coordination bond with palladium; and(D) An acidic, solid, silica-based support material, are useful in the codimerization of a conjugated diene and a monoene. Preferably, the catalyst is activated by the additional presence of a conjugated diene. In a preferred embodiment, the solid .pi.-allyl palladium complex catalyst prepared from palladium acetylacetonate, triphenylphosphine, diethylaluminum chloride and a calcined silica-alumina support having a separate, distinct alumina phase is useful in the selective codimerization of 1,3-butadiene and ethylene to form trans-1,4-hexadiene.
Abstract:
An improved catalytic cracking process wherein partial demetallization of a cracking catalyst is employed. The demetallization process involves contacting the catalyst with alternate reductive and oxidative aqueous washes. A preferred oxidative wash medium comprises an aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide. The vanadium and nickel metals may be recovered from used wash solutions for metallurgical use.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process of reducing sulfur- or nitrogen-containing compounds and producing oxygenates, and in particular to a one-pot process of reducing sulfur- or nitrogen-containing compounds and also producing oxygenates in the presence of a homogeneous catalyst such as Mn+/a first solvent or M1n+/a second solvent/M2m+/a third solvent or a mixture thereof, the process herein being useful as an excellent octane booster in the reformulated gasoline and as a cetane booster for the future oxygenated diesel in a one-pot reaction.

The present invention relates to a method for preparing aromatic carboxylic acid from alkylaromatics by liquid-phase oxidation. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method for preparing aromatic carboxylic acid from alkylaromatics by oxidation in acetic acid as solvent with oxygen-containing gas in the presence of cobalt/manganese/bromine complex catalyst, wherein nickel and carbon dioxide in an appropriate amount are added to increase an activity of cobalt/manganese/bromine complex catalyst. Especially nickel has a synergistic effect with carbon dioxide and maximize the to formation of the desired product having the corresponding carboxylic groups to the number of alkyl groups in a reactant.
