Abstract:
A process for producing ethylene oxide wherein a portion of the gases produced in the process are combusted with supplementary fuel to produce products of combustion that drive a gas turbineair compressor. The compressed air from the air compressor is returned to the ethylene oxide reactor to be used in the production of ethylene oxide.
Abstract:
A PROCESS FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF ORTHOCONDENSED POLYCYCLIC POLYENE CONDENSATION PRODUCTS WHICH COMPRISES CONDENSING A CONJUGATED DIENE COMPOUND AND A FULVENE DERIVATIVE AT A TEMPERATURE BETWEEN 100 TO 250* C., THE MOLE-RATIO OF DIENE/FULVENE BEING AT LEAST ONE IS DISCLOSED.
Abstract:
A new catalyst system, for the homo- and copolymerization of olefins, conjugated or unconjugated dienes or mixtures thereof, is composed of a Ziegler catalyst transition metal compound and an aluminum compound having the general formula:
wherein X is hydrogen or halogen; both R''s are hydrocarbon radicals; and R'' is an unsaturated or saturated aliphatic divalent hydrocarbon radical, unsubstituted cycloalkyl radical or unsubstituted aryl radical.
Abstract:
Vulcanizable olefin tetrapolymers are described which are comprised of ethylene, an alpha-olefin having at least 3 carbon atoms, at least one conventional terpolymer such as exodicyclopentadiene, and a minor amount of a polycyclic polyene containing an endomethylene system ortho-condensed with another hydrocarbon ring, and wherein the two carbon atoms common to two rings belong to a conjugated diene system whose double bonds are in the ring other than the endomethylene ring.
Abstract:
A process for preparing dimerization products having the formula X - (A)2 - X in which A is a divalent radical such as -CH2and X is a functional group such as -NO2, wherein a trivalent cobalt insertion product represented by the formula:
WHEREIN L1L2, L3 and L4 may belong to the same ligand molecule, e.g., a planar tetradentate ligand such as bis-(diacetylmonoximeimino)-propane, or to two molecules or a bidentate ligand such as o-phenanthroline, or may be four monodentate ligands and A and X have a significance given above, is pyrolized in an inert atmosphere.
Abstract:
In a process for the plural stage recovery of acrylonitrile, comprising a first stage extractive distillation zone, a second stage rectification zone and a third stage stripping zone; an improvement which comprises, maintaining the contents of the first stage extractive distillation zone and the second stage rectification zone at a pH in the range of about 5.5 to 7.5.
Abstract:
A pyrosulfate of ammonium or an alkali metal is prepared by reacting the hydroxide of ammonium or the alkali metal with sulfurous oxide in an alcohol, such as isopropyl alcohol, which is liquid under the reaction conditions and has more than three carbon atoms, in the presence of oxygen, at atmospheric pressure and room temperature, through the use, as catalyst, of a compound of a transition metal (e.g., Cu Cl2).
