Abstract:
The invention is the extrusion of sulfur from thiodinitriles to obtain the corresponding dinitrile by heating the thiodinitrile at a temperature of 200* to 700*C. For example, sulfur is extruded from thiodipropionitrile to obtain adiponitrile. This extrusion reaction can be either a strictly thermal reaction employing no other reactant or a reaction conducted in the presence of other gases, liquids or solids.
Abstract:
STEAM IS USED KEEP THE QUIESCENT ZONE ABOUT 200*F. COOLER THAN THE TURBULENT ZONE OF A FLUID-BED REACTOR UTILIZED IN THE AMMOXIDATION OF MONOOLEFINS TO UNSATURATED NITRIELS. STEAM ESCAPING FROM THE QUIESCENT ZONE INTO THE TURBULEN ZONE PREVENTS FUSION OF POWDERY CATALYST IN THE PRESENCE OF OXYGEN AND THE ADHESION OF FUSED CATALYST TO INTERNALS IN THE TOP PORTION OF THE REACTOR.
Abstract:
A process for preparing a supported solid oxide complex catalyst using silica as support characterised in that one adds fumed silica to a mixture containing one or more active components of the catalyst; dries said mixture to form a dried first-stage mixture; adds, in solution, silica or a silica-containing compound other than fumed silica to the dried first stage mixture optionally with further fumed silica; and dries and calcines the resulting mixture is provided. The use of fumed silica produces a supported solid oxide complex catalyst of increased attrition resistance. Such catalyst is useful in the preparation of unsaturated aldehydes and acids from propylene or isobutylene by vapour phase oxidation. The use of inert or recycle gas increases the performance of such catalyst in this reaction.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for the conversion of tertiary-butyl-containing compounds to methacrylic derivatives, and more particularly to a process for the conversion of tertiary-butyl-containing compounds selected from the group consisting of alkyl tertiary-butyl ethers, tertiary-butyl alcohol, isobutylene dimer (2,2,4-trimethylpentene) and isobutylene trimer, to methacrolein, methacrylic acid or methacrylonitrile.
Abstract:
A method is disclosed for the preparation of a molecular sieving metallosillicate wherein an aqueous dispersion of colloidal particles comprising contiguous mixtures of silica and at least one oxide of a transition metal is mixed with an effective amount of a mineralizing agent and/or synthesis directing agent to form a gel. The formed gel is maintained at a temperature of about 80.degree.C to about 300.degree.C for a period of time effective to provide the desired molecular sieving metallosillicate.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for the preparation of phosphomolybdic acid based catalysts by forming a solution of hydrated phosphomolybdic acid in a substantially anhydrous alkyl alcohol, optionally adding a base to the solution, evaporating the solution to yield a catalyst powder and thereafter drying and calcining the powder to form the active catalyst. A second method for preparation is also provided and includes the steps of forming a solution of hydrated phosphomolybdic acid in a substantially anhydrous alkyl alcohol evaporating the solution to form a concentrate, impregnating a catalyst support material with the concentrate, contacting the impregnated support with ammonia gas in an amount sufficient to form an insoluble precipitate of ammonium alkyl phosphomolybdic acid within the pore structure of said support material and thereafter drying and calcining said impregnated support material so as to form a coated catalyst.

1409599 Purifying NH 3 plant effluent STANDARD OIL CO 19 June 1973 [22 June 1972] 28937/73 Heading C1A A gas stream containing at least 90% by vol. steam and 0À1-10% by vol. of NH 3 and/or organic compounds with up to 6 carbon atoms is contacted with a catalyst containing the oxides of Cu, Fe, Mn, Bi, Ni, Co, U, Mo, V, Cr, W, Pd, Pt, Ag, Zn, alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, Sn and/or Sb at a temperature of 200-800 C. to oxidize the NH 3 or organic compound, wherein the said gas stream is obtained as a result of (a) stripping a hot K 2 CO 3 solution to form a gas stream containing H 2 O, CO 2 , together with NH 3 and/or the organic compounds, (b) condensing or washing the gas stream with H 2 O to form an aqueous stream containing NH 3 and/or the organic compounds and (c) steam stripping the aqueous stream to obtain the said gas stream containing NH 3 and/or the organic compounds. O 2 in the form of air is preferably added to the gas stream prior to catalysis. The K 2 CO 3 solution containing the CO 2 together with NH 3 and the organic compounds may be that formed on scrubbing a gas stream formed on catalytic oxidation of CH 4 with steam and air to form H 2 and CO 2 , in which case the organic compounds are CH 3 OH, HCOOH and HCHO.
