Abstract:
Disclosed is a method of preparing a catalyst for hydrogenation of a hydrocarbon oil, in which a hydroxycarboxylic acid is added to a catalyst carrying a metal of the Group VI of the Periodic Table and a metal of the Group VIII of the same, optionally along with phosphoric acid, on a carrier, in an amount of from 0.3 to 5 molar times of the total metal molar number of the metal of the Group VI and the metal of Group VIII, and thereafter the resulting catalyst is dried at a temperature not higher than 200.degree. C. The catalyst has a high catalyst activity and is used for hydrogenation of a hydrocarbon oil, especially satisfying the requirement of reducing the sulfur content in a light oil.
Abstract:
A method of preparing a catalyst for hydrogenation of a hydrocarbon oil, wherein an aqueous solution containing a metal of Group VI of the Periodic Table and a metal of Group VIII of the same, along with a hydroxycarboxylic acid and optionally phosphoric acid is added to a carrier substance consisting essentially of at least one of an inorganic oxide and an inorganic hydrate, and the resulting blend is kneaded, shaped and thereafter dried at a temperature not higher than 200.degree. C. The catalyst has a high catalyst activity and is used for hydrogenation of a hydrocarbon oil, especially satisfying the requirement of reducing the sulfur content in a light oil.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a catalytic composition resulting from placing at least one divalent nickel compound into contact with at least one hydrocarbylaluminum halide and at least one epoxy compound, in any order. It also concerns the use of the catalytic composition in a process of oligomerizing monoolefins.
Abstract:
A method for recovering a transition metal, e.g., rhodium, from a non-polar organic solution containing non-polar organic solvent-soluble and polar solvent-insoluble coordination complex of the transition metal and a non-polar organic solvent-soluble and polar solvent-insoluble ligand, e.g., an organophosphorus ligand, by contacting the non-polar organic solution with a polar solution of an ionic organophosphine ligand, the transition metal then can be transferred back into a non-polar solution for reuse. In one embodiment rhodium is rendered amenable for back-extraction by treating the polar solution with a suitable conditioning reagent.
Abstract:
A process for improving the catalytic activity of a partially deactivated solubilized rhodium - tertiary organophosphine complex hydroformylation catalyst.
Abstract:
In this process for recovering noble metals of group VIII from a contaminated catalyst solution originating from the carbonylation of methyl acetate and/or dimethylether (the catalyst solution containing carbonyl complexes of these noble metals, organic or inorganic promoters, undistillable organic contaminants as well as volatiles) the volatiles are distillatively removed from the catalyst solution and the remaining distillation residue is water-treated, whereby the noble metal/carbonyl-complex is precipitated together with the organic contaminants and is separated from the aqueous phase, while the promotor is dissolved and recovered in conventional manner. The noble metals are then set free in elemental form by subjecting the noble metal/carbonyl-complex separated and contaminated with organic polymers at temperatures of 150.degree. to 300.degree. C. to treatment with an ethyleneglycoldialkylether solvent of the formula R(--OCH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2).sub.n --OR, in which n stands for a number of from 1 to 4 and R stands for identical or different alkyl groups having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms. The noble metal can then be recovered by filtration, and the solvent can be freed of organic contaminants by distillation.
Abstract:
Various embodiments disclosed relate to a method of preparing aryl fluorinated ether compounds. The method involves contacting an aryl halide with a fluorinated alcohol in the presence of a photocatalyst, a base, and irradiation with electromagnetic radiation comprising a wavelength between about 200 nm and about 800 nm. The present invention also provides a method of late-stage photochemical modification of a biologically active compound, such as drugs or agrochemicals. Fluorinated derivatives of griseofulvin, clofibrate, and 2,4-D methyl ester are described herein.
