Abstract:
Vapor phase catalytic hydrogenation of maleic anhydride to gamma-butyrolactone is achieved in a conversion of 95 % or more and a selectivity of 80 % or more during a prolonged period of production. The process of the invention uses an activated catalyst prepared by reducing a catalyst composition comprising 30-65 % by weight of CuO, 18-50 % by weight of ZnO and 8-22 % by weight of Al2O3, and, particularly, by activating the reduced catalyst composition in hydrogen at an activation temperature of at least 400 DEG C, preferably 400 DEG C to 525 DEG C, and optimally about 425 DEG C. The hydrogenation process is carried out under predetermined and advantageous process conditions, including a defined molar ratio of hydrogen to maleic anhydride in the vapor reactant stream, a selected pressure during hydrogenation, an advantageous feed rate space velocity, a predetermined contact time, and a suitable reaction temperature.

Abstract:
A multi-ply radiation dosage indicator (10), and method of manufacture, is disclosed including a first ply (12) having visible indicia (14) thereon and a second ply (16) having a radiation sensitive zone (18) overlying the indicia (14) of the first ply (12). The radiation sensitive zone (18) is capable of changing opacity in response to exposure to a radiation dosage exceeding a predetermined threshold so as to change the visibility of the indicia (14) thereby providing an indication as to whether the indicator (10) has become irradiated. An optical filter ply (26) may be provided overlying the indicia (14), and the indicator (10) also may be provided with a transparent protective outer ply (19). A pressure sensitive adhesive ply (30) having a removable release sheet (32) is employed for attaching the indicator (10) to a substrate.
