Abstract:
Impact-resistant polymers having low permeability to gases and vapors are prepared by polymerizing acrylonitrile with an alphaolefin such as isobutylene, at least one member selected from the group consisting of an acrylic ester, a methacrylic ester, methacrylonitrile, an acrylamide, and a vinyl ester, and optionally another vinyl monomer component such as a vinyl aromatic monomer in an aqueous medium in the presence of a diene rubber.
Abstract:
An improved process for the recovery of acrylonitrile, hydrocyanic acid, and acetonitrile from an aqueous solution of these nitriles wherein the aqueous solution is obtained by contacting the product mixture from a catalytic vapor phase reaction of propylene, ammonia, and air, with an acidic solution in an ammonia neutralization column to remove unreacted ammonia therefrom, where the improvement comprises adding additional acetonitrile to the effluent from the ammonia neutralizing column and distilling the aqueous effluent to recover the nitriles from solution.

IMPACT-RESISTANT THERMOPLASTIC POLYMERS HAVING LOW PERMEABILITY TO GASES AND VAPORS ARE PREPARED BY POLYMERIZING ACRYLONITRILE WITH AN ALPHA-OLEFIN SUCH AS ISOBUTYLENE, AT LEAST ONE MEMBER SLECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF AN ACRYLIC ESTER, A METHACRYLIC ESTER, METHACRYLONITRILE, AN ACRYLAMIDE, AND A VINYL ESTER, AND OPTIONALLY ANOTHER VINYL MONOMER COMPONENT SUCH AS A VINYL AROMATIC MONOMER IN AN AQUEOUS MEDIUM IN THE PRESENCE OF A RUBBERY POLYMER OF A CONJUGATED DIOLEFIN.
Abstract:
A process is described for increasing the energy storage capacity and cell like of an electrical energy storage device comprising a porous carbon cathode, a lithium alloy anode and a fused salt electrolyte composed of an alkali metal halide or an alkaline earth metal halide or mixtures thereof, wherein the electrolyte salt is purified electrochemically before use and is subsequently circulated to the electrochemical cell.
Abstract:
THE INSTANT APPLICATION DEALS WITH A PROCESS FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF MONOOLEFINICALLY UNSATURATED ALIPHATIC NITRILES BY THE CATALYTIC OXIDATION OF OLEFIN USING CYANIDE AND A MOLECULAR OXYGEN-CONTAINING GAS, BUT NO AMMONIA.
Abstract:
Polymeric compositions having high heat-distortion temperatures which function as gas and vapor barrier materials which are composed of an olefinically unsaturated nitrile, such as acrylonitrile, and indene are described.
Abstract:
Clear, impact-resistant polymers having low permeability to gases and vapors are prepared by blending a resinous copolymer of acrylonitrile and styrene with a copolymer of acrylonitrile, styrene, and an acrylate ester prepared in the presence of a diene elastomer.
Abstract:
A polymer composition containing a high proportionate amount of olefinic nitrile is stabilized against thermal discoloration by inclusion therein from about 0.05 to 2 parts by weight per hundred parts of resin of an organotin maleate compound selected from the group consisting of the hydrocarbon tin maleates and the hydrocarbon tin-bis-maleate half esters.
Abstract:
High per pass conversions to acrylonitrile and acrylic acid or methacrylonitrile and methacrylic acid and desirable commercial flexibility are realized by reacting propylene or isobutylene with molecular oxygen and about 0.1 to about 0.9 moles of ammonia per mole of olefin in the presence of two catalysts. The first catalyst is an ammoxidation catalyst, and the second catalyst is an oxidation catalyst.
Abstract:
Catalysts containing antimony and molybdenum are promoted by the addition of iron or vanadium or mixture thereof to give very desirable catalysts for the preparation of maleic anhydride from 1,3-butadiene, n-butylenes, crotonaldehyde and furan.
