Abstract:
New beta -diketones of the structure where R is phenyl or alkyl substituted phenyl, R' is alkyl, alkyl substituted phenyl or chloro substituted phenyl and R'' is H or -CN with the provisos that; (1) when R is phenyl, R' is a branched chain alkyl group of at least seven carbon atoms and (2) when R is alkyl substituted phenyl, the number of carbon atoms in the alkyl substituent or substituents is at least 7 and at least one such alkyl substituent is branched chain. Process of recovering copper and nickel from their aqueous solutions by the use of the new beta -diketones.
Abstract:
1. IN A REGENERATOR FOR A FLUIDIZED CATALYST WHEREIN THE PARTICULATED CATALYST MATERIAL IS CIRCULATED WITHIN A REGENERATION COMPARTMENT HAVING VERTICAL WALLS, IN A TURBULENT FLOW BY A CARRIER GAS TO FORM A FLUIDIZED BED, AND WHEREIN THE CONDITION OF SAID FLUIDIZED BED IS REGULATED TO MAINTAIN PREDETERMINED OPERATING CONDITIONS THEREIN, THE IMPROVEMENT FOR CONTINUOUSLY MONITORING THE PRESSURE WITHIN SAID FLUIDIZED BED COMPRISING, A CONDUIT EXTENDING INTO SAID REGENERATOR COMPARTMENT AND HAVING AN OPEN END DISPOSED IN SAID FLUIDIZED CATALYST BED, THE OTHER END OF SAID CONDUIT COMMUNICATED WITH A SOURCE OF A PURGE GAS, A PRESSURE SENSING ELEMENT CONNECTED TO SAID CONDUIT, AND IN COMMUNICATION WITH SAID REGENERATION COMPARTMENT, A SHEILD DISPOSED ABOUT SAID CONDUIT OPEN END DEFINING A CHAMBER IN COMMUNICATION WITH SAID FLUIDIZED BED WHEREBY TO RECEIVE THE FLUIDIZED CATALYST AS WELL AS PURGE GAS AT THE CONDUIT OPEN END, SAID SHEILD INCLUDING A CYLINDRICAL ELEMENT HAVING A PERFORATED WALL SPACED FROM SAID CONDUIT OPEN, END, THEREBY DEFINING AN ANNULUS ABOUT THE CONDUIT, AND A SUBSTANTIALLY FLAT PERFORATED FACE PLATE AT THE END OF SAID CYLINDRICAL SHEILD ELEMENT TO DEFINE A PARTIAL CLOSURE TO THE LATTER ADJACENT TO SAID CONDUIT OPEN END, SAID FACE PLATE BEING DISPOSED IN A PLANE SUBSTANTIALLY PARALLEL TO THE VERTICAL WALLS OF SAID REGENERATION COMPARTMENT.
Abstract:
A platinum group component catalyst, used in a hydroconversion unit comprising a plurality of reactors in series, is regenerated to remove carbonaceous matter from the catalyst without contaminating the catalyst with sulfur compounds by purging the hydroconversion unit of hydrocarbons, circulating an inert gas through the hydroconversion unit at a pressure of from 50 to 1000 p.s.i.g., controlling the inlet temperature in all but the terminal reactor to below about 500* F. while controlling the inlet temperature in the terminal reactor at from 500* to 700* F., then introducing an oxygen-containing gas into the terminal reactor to remove carbonaceous matter from the catalyst but insuring that the oxygen is discontinued when the exit stream from the terminal reactor contains more than about 0.1 volume percent oxygen.
Abstract:
A process in which spent catalyst is regenerated with or without the complete combustion of CO in a regeneration zone comprising a first dense bed, a dilute phase transport riser and a second dense bed. Higher velocities and higher O2 concentrations employed within the regeneration zone result in shorter catalyst and gas residence time, reduced catalyst inventory, lower catalyst makeup rate, improved regeneration, and improved catalyst stability. The substantially complete combustion of CO eliminates CO pollution of the atmosphere without the need for a CO boiler and decreases feed preheat requirements.
