    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a production process for 1,3-propanediol by hydration of acrolein in the presence of an ion-exchange resin, followed by hydrogenation of 3-hydroxypropionaldehyde, and an ion exchanger therefor. SOLUTION: A polyamine resin based on a cross-lined polyacrylamide matrix is allowed to react with acrylic acid, an acrylic acid derivative or a salt of an ω-halogenoalkanoic acid and the resultant polyaminepolycarboxylic acid resin is used as a hydration catalyst. The ion exchanger catalyst is characterized by its extremely low volume change and high whole capacity when activated and can be used in high selectivity with high space time yield.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a high temp.-resistant reactor for endothermic catalytic reaction which burns stably in heating ducts by forming the walls of heating and reaction ducts extending mutually in parallel of a heat-resistant and gas- impermeable material and coating respectively the wall faces of the reaction ducts with a catalyst for catalytic reaction and the wall faces of the heating ducts with a catalyst for catalytic burning. SOLUTION: A mixture of combustion gas/air is fed into heating ducts 3 by a feeding pipe piece 4 and is made to flow in the second end face direction sealing the heating ducts in the axial direction. Exhaustion of exhaust gas after catalytic combustion is performed from an opening part 8 installed in the barrier walls of the heating ducts 3 in parallel to the layer of the heating ducks 3 from the side wall of a reactor. All the heating ducts 3 are connected with an exhauste gas pipe piece 7. The mixture of reaction gas is passed through the reactor countercurrently to the mixture of combustion gas/air and is exhausted through a gas pipe piece 6 as a mixture of product by a reaction catalyst. In the reactor, the heating ducts and the reaction ducts are directly adjacent to each other but gases are impermeable through each other. It is possible to perform good heat recovery and utilization of energy.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To preferably control the exothermic reaction and to easily assemble into a large-size device by using the reaction heat generated in the reaction to heat the starting gas to the required reaction temp. by indirect heat exchange based on the countercurrent principle. SOLUTION: As for the reactor, a reversal countercurrent reactor consisting of two concentric tubes comprising a tightly sintered aluminum oxide ceramic material is used. The inner tube 1 is equipped with a catalyst bed 3 at the upper end part, while the outer tube 2 is closed at the top end, namely, the top of the reactor. When the starting gas mixture is introduced from the lower side to the inner tube 1, the mixture passes through the catalyst bed 3 and turns downward in the ringlike space between the inner tube 1 and the outer tube 2. At the initiation of the reaction, it is necessary to heat the starting gas mixture and the catalyst to >=800 deg.C. This heating process is carried out by direct heating of the catalyst by a heater jacket or a current surrounding the outer tube 2. After the reaction is initiated, it is enough to use the generated reaction heat to heat the starting gas mixture to the reaction temp.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for manufacturing a coating with catalytic action for synthesis of hydrogen cyanide on a molding. SOLUTION: In a method for manufacturing a coating with catalytic action, a molding is uniformly moistened with a coating dispersion liquid containing at least, one type of particulate platinum group element and any other coating component in a carrier liquid. In addition, the carrier liquid is evaporated and the coating is gradually heated at 1000-1350 deg.C in the presence of nitrogen and/or ammonium, so that the coating is shifted to a catalytic action effective state. In this case, a particulate nitride which has an average particle diameter considerably less than 100μm and contains elements such as aluminum, boron, titanium and silicon is used alone or in mixture form as another cationic coating component.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain ε-caprolactam in high yield by Beckmann rearrangement of cyclohexanoxime using [B] β-zeolite in a vapor phase within a specific temperature range. SOLUTION: This ε-caprolactam is obtained by Beckmann rearrangement of cyclohexanoxime using [B]β-zeolite as zeolite catalyst in a vapor phase at 250-450 deg.C. The [B] β-zeolite is prepared by agitating an aqueous mixture of H3 BO3 , an alkali metal hydroxide, silicon component, and advantageously microgranular, optionally precipitated silicic acid together with an amine solution, esp. tetraethylammonium hydroxide and/or bromide, under a spontaneously generated pressure, the product is then washed and dried to afford a crystal form which is then dried at

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a continuous method for producing methylmercaptan useful as a synthetic intermediate for methionine, etc., capable of reducing operation energy cost by treating specific starting substance mixture under specify conditions. SOLUTION: Hydrogen sulfide-newly produced gas 20 is compressed until an intermediate pressure under addition of liquid methanol and circulated hydrogen sulfide gas is mixed with the newly produced gas and the mixture is compressed to operation pressure and further, methanol is fed to compressed gas mixture in the form of methanol vapor 24 to produce a starting substance mixture 25 having 1.1-3 molar ratio of hydrogen sulfide to methanol and the starting substance gas mixture is heated to 150-200 deg.C preheating temperature and further, the starting substance gas mixture 25 is thermally exchanged with reaction heat generated in a catalyst bed to heat the gas mixture to reaction temperature and methanol and hydrogen sulfide are reacted with the gas mixture in contact with a catalyst bed to provide methylmercaptan. It is preferable to inject excess liquid methanol and circulate unvaporized content.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve the use of energy by using a catalyst at a high temp. for the reaction of methane as the source gas with ammonia and oxygen to produce hydrogen cyanide, hydrogen and water by self-heating method. SOLUTION: In a reciprocal counterflow type reactor comprising alumina ceramic coaxial two tubes, a platinum-based catalyst 3 disposed on the upper end of the inner tube 1 is preliminarily heated to >=800 deg.C. Methane as the source gas, ammonia and oxygen by 1/2 to 3/2 mol to 1 mol of the hydrogen cyanide to be produced, or air are preliminarily heated to >=800 deg.C and introduced through the lower end of the inner tube 1 to cause the reaction of CH4 + NH4 +1/202 →HCN+H2 O+2H2 at >=1000 deg.C. In This reaction, an excess amt. of oxygen is supplied to compensate the thermal loss. The produced gas mixture passed through the catalyst 3 is changed its direction through the annular intermediate space between the inner tube and the outer tube 2 to descend and then collected. The source gas mixture is heated by self-heating method by heat exchange with the counter flow. The entrance and the exit of the reactor are kept at a low temp. as
