Abstract:
An ethylene oxide (EO) production process comprising (a) introducing a first reactant mixture (C2H6, O2) to a first reactor to produce a first effluent stream (C2H4, C2H6, O2); (b) introducing a second reactant mixture to a second reactor to produce a second effluent stream (EO, C2H4, C2H6, O2); wherein the second reactant mixture comprises at least a portion of first effluent stream; (c) separating the second effluent stream into an EO product stream (EO) and recycle stream (C2H4, C2H6, O2); wherein ethylene is not separated from recycle stream and/or first effluent stream; and (d) recycling a first portion of recycle stream to the first reactor, and a second portion of recycle stream to the second reactor; wherein recycle split ratio
Abstract:
An ethylene oxide (EO) production process comprising (a) introducing a first reactant mixture (C2H6, C2H4, O2) to a first reactor system to produce a first effluent stream (C2H4, C2H6, O2), wherein the mole fraction of ethylene in first effluent stream is greater than in first reactant mixture; wherein the first reactor system is characterized by a first reactor system operating temperature of 270° C.-320° C.; wherein the first reactor system comprises oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) stage(s); (b) introducing the first effluent stream to a second reactor to produce a second effluent stream (EO, C2H4, C2H6, O2); (c) separating the second effluent stream into an EO product stream (EO) and recycle stream (C2H4, C2H6, O2); wherein ethylene is not separated from recycle stream and/or first effluent stream; (d) recycling at least a portion of recycle stream to the first reactor system, and a optionally portion of recycle stream to the second reactor.
Abstract:
A reactor for producing phosgene, the reactor comprising: tube located in a shell and a space located between the tube and the shell; a cooling medium located in the space and a catalyst located in the tube or cooling medium located in the tube and a catalyst located in the space; a feed inlet; and a product mixture outlet; wherein the tube comprises one or more of: a mini-tube and a second tube section; a first concentric tube concentrically located in the shell; a twisted tube; an internal scaffold; and an external scaffold.
Abstract:
A method to recover caustic from a caustic waste stream comprises reducing the temperature of a caustic waste stream comprising dissolved Na2CO3 to a temperature less than or equal to the temperature at which the Na2CO3 precipitates from the caustic waste stream to form a caustic waste stream comprising precipitated Na2CO3 and separating the precipitated Na2CO3.

Abstract:
A crosslinked poly(arylene ether) film is prepared by a method that includes forming a film from a composition that includes a poly(arylene ether) having an intrinsic viscosity of at least 0.25 deciliter per gram and a polydispersity index less than or equal to 10, and irradiating the poly(arylene ether) film with a dosage of about 50 to about 50,000 kiloGrays of accelerated electrons. The films exhibit good flexibility and solvent resistance. Films prepared by the method are described, as are articles that include such films.
