Abstract:
An optically active compound production method using a column reactor, a column for column reactor is charged with asymmetric catalyst particles to produce the column reactor, and reaction compound is introduced into column reactor to bring reaction compound into contact with asymmetric catalyst particles, whereby reaction compound is converted to optically active compound. Asymmetric catalyst particles are preferably resin particles that are prepared from a monomer composition containing a proline derivative monomer having unsaturated bond and radical polymerization initiator and serve as catalyst for enamine mechanism reaction. Asymmetric catalyst particles are preferably resin particles prepared by micro-channel method including injecting monomer composition into continuous phase to thereby form droplets of monomer composition in continuous phase and then heating droplets to cause proline derivative monomer having an unsaturated bond to undergo radical polymerization.
Abstract:
A multistage tubular reaction system and method for preparing methylol derivatives of an aldehyde includes a tubular reaction system with a plurality of successive reactor stages comprising a plurality of jacketed reaction tubes provided with a cooling system adapted to control flow of a cooling medium through said jacketed reaction tubes. The cooling medium flow is controlled independently in different stages in response to temperature measurements in the reaction system to regulate temperature. In order to further reduce temperature spikes and byproduct generation, aldehyde is stepwise added to the production stream at a plurality of feed ports proximate to reaction tubes equipped with tube inserts to enhance mixing and heat transfer.
Abstract:
The invention relates to converting non-aromatic hydrocarbon in the presence of CO2 to produce aromatic hydrocarbon. CO2 methanation using molecular hydrogen produced during the aromatization increases aromatic hydrocarbon yield. The invention also relates to equipment and materials useful in such upgrading, to processes for carrying out such upgrading, and to the use of such processes for, e.g., natural gas upgrading.

Abstract:
A material arrangement for a fusion reactor comprising at least one material which is configured as a foam-like carrier material for condensable binding and fusing of hydrogen. The carrier material is provided with positively charged vacancies for condensing hydrogen atoms, small pores for receiving the condensate and for accelerating the condensation after previous penetration of atoms or molecules into these, and large pores for transporting a catalyst into the small pores. Furthermore, a method for producing the material arrangement is disclosed.
Abstract:
A method for generating and for fusing ultra-dense hydrogen in which molecular hydrogen is fed into at least one cavity and catalyzed, where the splitting and subsequent condensation of the molecular hydrogen is initiated on a catalyst of the cavity to form an ultra-dense hydrogen. The ultra-dense hydrogen is exposed to pressure or electromagnetic radiation to initiate fusion of the ultra-dense hydrogen in the at least one cavity and the reaction heat is led out from the at least one cavity. The pressure as mechanical resonance or the electromagnetic radiation as electromagnetic resonance amplifies the field and therefore the effect. Also, an apparatus for carrying out the method is disclosed.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates in a broad form to a pseudo-isothermal flow reactor (100) for an exothermal reaction comprising at least two reaction enclosures (108, 114) and a cooling medium enclosure (102) configured to hold a cooling medium under pressure at the boiling point of said cooling medium, said reaction enclosures (108, 114) having an outer surface configured to be in thermal contact with the cooling medium, and each of said reaction enclosures (108, 114) having an inlet and an outlet with the associated benefit of enabling a two-stage pseudo-isothermal operation while only requiring a single cooling medium enclosure (102) and only single cooling medium circuit.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for preparing acrylic acid from formaldehyde and acetic acid, comprising reacting formaldehyde and acetic acid via an aldol condensation in a reaction unit comprising n reaction zones arranged in series, each comprising an aldol condensation catalyst, where n is at least 2, and wherein at least one stream leaving a reaction zone, before being fed into the reaction zone immediately downstream, is mixed with a stream comprising formaldehyde and optionally comprising acetic acid. The present invention further relates to an apparatus for preparing acrylic acid from formaldehyde and acetic acid and to the use of this apparatus.
Abstract:
This disclosure features a urea conversion catalyst located within a urea decomposition reactor (e.g., a urea decomposition pipe) of a diesel exhaust aftertreatment system. The urea conversion catalyst includes a refractory metal oxide and a cationic dopant. The urea conversion catalyst can decrease the temperature at which urea converts to ammonia, can increase the urea conversion yield, and can decrease the likelihood of incomplete urea conversion.
Abstract:
A system of reforming reactors comprises a plurality of reactors coupled by flow lines, a feed header coupled to the plurality of reactors by a plurality of feed lines, an effluent header coupled to the plurality of reactors by a plurality of effluent lines, and a plurality of valves disposed in the flow lines, the feed lines, and the effluent lines. Each reactor comprises a reforming catalyst, and the plurality of valves are capable of being dynamically operated to create a first serial flow path through the plurality of reactors. The plurality of valves is further configured to dynamically reconnect the plurality of reactors to create a second serial flow path through the plurality of reactors. A first reactor of the plurality of reactors is adjacent to a second reactor of the plurality of reactors in the first serial flow path, and the first reactor is not adjacent to the second reactor in the second serial flow path.
