Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for hydrogenating a dinitrile to form a diamine. Also disclosed is a method for preparing a catalyst for this hydrogenation reaction by reducing iron oxide with hydrogen. The catalyst ages during the course of making the diamine. An aged catalyst is partially reactivated by interrupting the flow of dinitrile and ammonia feed to a reactor, while maintaining a flow of hydrogen to the reactor.
Abstract:
A method of making a compound of formula (IIa) by selective ozonolysis of a compound of formula (I) is provided, wherein A is a C 6 -C 10 alkene chain with at least one double bond, R 1 is a C 1 -C 10 alkyl, and R 3 is an oxygen-containing functional group.
Abstract:
Disclosed are retrofit processes for retrofitting a polymer production apparatus to produce a plurality of polymer products. The retrofit process may comprise modifying an existing primary manifold to include a retrofit manifold and at least one additive injection apparatus. The retrofit process may also comprise modifying an existing secondary manifold to include an additive injection line and a polymer solidifier in contact with the secondary manifold. The retrofitted polymer production apparatus produces varied finished polymer products from one continuous polymerization reactor.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for hydrogenating a dinitrile to form a diamine in the presence of ammonia. A liquid stream including a dinitrile is used to scrub a vapor stream including hydrogen and ammonia. Ammonia is taken up in the liquid effluent from the scrubbing treatment. This liquid effluent stream and the hydrogen-rich scrubbed vapors are recycled to the hydrogenation reaction for converting dinitrile to diamine.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for hydrogenating a dinitrile to form a diamine. Also disclosed is a method for preparing a catalyst for this hydrogenation reaction by reducing iron oxide with hydrogen. Heat in a fluid stream involved in the refinement of a crude dinitrile stream is used to provide heat for the hydrogenation of a dinitrile to form a diamine.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for hydrogenating a dinitrile to form a diamine. Also disclosed is a method for preparing a catalyst for this hydrogenation reaction by reducing iron oxide with hydrogen. The catalyst ages during the course of making the diamine. An aged catalyst is partially reactivated by abruptly interrupting the flow of feed to reactors.
Abstract:
Process for incorporating additives into a polymer utilizing a polymerization reactor in fluid communication with a primary manifold carrying the liquid polymer. The primary manifold is in fluid communication with at least one secondary manifold comprising an additive injection line. The process produces varied finished polymer products from one continuous polymerization reactor.
Abstract:
Described herein are methods of preparing high molecular weight polyamides which reduce or eliminate the production of unwanted gels during the production process. These methods reduce the formation of undesired polyamide gel by polishing the internal surfaces of the production equipment, thereby providing surfaces with smaller surface roughness values.
