Abstract:
Catalytic cracking catalysts and catalytic cracking process wherein the cracking catalysts are prepared by: (1) contacting a mixture of a large pore zeolite and an inorganic oxide matrix at effective conditions of temperature, pH and time with a fluoro salt; and (2) ammonium exchanging the product of step (1) to provide a catalyst having less than 0.3 percent by weight Na2O. Optionally, the product is provided with an effective amount of at least one cation selected from the class consisting of cerium, lanthanum, praseodymium, neodymium, promethium, samarium, europium, lutetium, gadolinium, terbium, dysprosium, holmium, erbium, thulium and ytterbium.
Abstract:
Oil-in-alcohol microemulsion-containing composition concentrate stabilized by at least one emulsifier and containing at least one organic hydrophobizing agent having a metal adsorbing moiety therein. The composition concentrate, when diluted with water, is useful in automotive coolant systems as an antifreeze.
Abstract:
A process for monitrating 2,3-dichloro-1,4-xylene to produce 2,3-dichloro-5-nitro-1,4-xylene utilizing an aqueous nitrating solution consisting essentially of 80 to 98% nitric acid at 25 C-60 C and at a molar ratio of nitric acid to 2,3-dichloro-1,4-xylene of 3:1 or more.
Abstract:
A process for the production of organic carboxylic acids by the catalytic reaction of organic formate esters in contact with carbon monoxide and a homogenous catalyst system of rhodium metal atom, a phosphorus containing ligand in which there is present at least one oxo oxygen atom attached to a phosphorus atom or a carbon atom to form a Z group and the (I) group in said Z group is located at least one carbon atom removed and preferably from 2-4 carbon atoms removed from the phosphorus atom of the molecules represented by formulas (V) or (VI) and a halogen source, under mild reaction conditions, wherein R' is aryl, alkaryl, aralkyl or alkyl, and wherein 1 or more of said R' groups can be substituted with a Z group but not more than 3 of said R' groups in the molecule are so substituted; a is an integer from 0-4; b is an integer from 0-3; and Z is P(O)R'R'; - C(O)OR" or C(O)R", wherein R" is R' or -H.

Abstract:
The addition of an inert metal component, such as gold, silver or copper, to a Fischer-Tropsch catalyst comprising cobalt enables said catalyst to convert synthesis gas to liquid motor fuels at about 240-370oC with advantageously reduced selectivity of said cobalt for methane in said conversion. The catalyst composition can advantageously include a support component, such as a molecular sieve, co-catalyst/support component or a combination of such support components.
Abstract:
Process for producing alloy steels wherein a vanadium additive consisting essentially of chemically prepared, substantially pure V2O3 is added to molten steel as a vanadium additive. The production of the alloy steel involves specifically the use of the V2O3 as a vanadium additive in an argon-oxygen-decarburization (AOD) process.
Abstract:
Molding composition comprising a blend of a select poly(aryl ketone) and a polyetherimide. These blends have an improved ultimate use temperature and stress crack resistance.
Abstract:
The performance of rapid pressure swing adsorption processes is enhanced by the use of selective adsorbent material in the novel form of millibeads of essentially smooth, rounded particles having a particle size of about -40+80 mesh, U.S. Standard Sieve Series. The millibeads are preferably molecular sieve materials, such as zeolites A, X and Y, that, in some embodiments, is mixed with a suitable binding agent. Such adsorbent material can be advantageously packed in the adsorbent bed, with minimized settling and crushing in use, so that compacted plug formation is avoided and gas flow to and from the bed, and process performance are enhanced over the course of continuous cyclic processing operations.
