Abstract:
Processes for producing aromatic dicarboxylic acids are disclosed, the processes including a step of combining in a reaction medium a dialkyl aromatic, a solvent comprising water and a saturated organic acid having from 2-4 carbon atoms, and an oxygen-containing gas, at a temperature from about 125°C to about 1550C, in the presence of a catalyst composition comprising cobalt, manganese, zirconium, and bromine, wherein the weight ratio of cobalt to manganese in the reaction mixture is fro about 10 to about 400. The processes provide improved conversion, while reducing the formation of carbon oxides and other by-products.
Abstract:
Resol beads are disclosed, having a relatively narrow size distribution, prepared in high yield by reaction of a phenol with an aldehyde, with a base as catalyst, in the presence of previously-formed resol beads, a colloidal stabilizer, and optionally a surfactant. The resol beads may be thermally treated to prevent sticking and clumping and have a variety of uses, such as in the formation of activated carbon beads.
Abstract:
Resol beads are disclosed that are prepared in high yield by reaction of a phenol with an aldehyde, with a base as catalyst, in the presence of a colloidal stabilizer, and optionally a surfactant. The resol beads have a variety of uses and may be carbonized and activated to form activated carbon monoliths.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a process for the preparation of cyclopropanecarboxaldehyde by the thermal isomerization of 2,3-dihydrofuran under superatmospheric pressure, e.g., at a temperature of 300 to 600 DEG C and a pressure of 3 to 345 bars absolute.
Abstract:
Activated carbon beads are disclosed made from resol beads prepared in high yield by reaction of a phenol with an aldehyde, with a base as catalyst, in the presence of a colloidal stabilizer, and optionally a surfactant. The resol beads are then optionally thermally treated, and afterward carbonized and activated to obtain the activated carbon beads.
Abstract:
Processes for the liquid phase oxidation of one or more of a para- or a meta-substituted dialkyl aromatic compound are disclosed, the processes including a step of combining in a reaction medium the one or more para- or meta-substituted dialkyl aromatic compound, a solvent mixture comprising water and a saturated organic acid having from 2-4 carbon atoms, and an oxygen-containing gas, at a temperature from about 130°C to about 18O0C, in the presence of a catalyst composition comprising cobalt, manganese, bismuth, and bromine. The processes produce the corresponding aromatic dicarboxylic acid product with improved conversion, while reducing the formation of carbon oxides.
