Abstract:
A novel process is described for producing esters of linear monocarboxylic acids containing 6 to 26 carbon atoms, by reacting vegetable or animal oils, neutral or otherwise, with monoalcohols containing 1 to 18 carbon atoms in the presence of a catalyst selected from: mixtures of titanium oxide and alumina having formula: (TiOx)y(Al2O3)1-y where x has the value 1.5 to 2.2 and y, representing the weight ratio of the two oxides, has a value of 0.005 to 0.995; mixtures of zirconium oxide and alumina having formula: (ZrOx)y(Al2O3)1-y where x has the value 1.5 to 2.2 and y has a value of 0.005 to 0.995; and mixtures of antimony oxide and alumina having formula: (SbOx)y(Al2O3)1-y where x has the value 1.2 to 2.6 and y has a value of 0.005 to 0.995, in order to directly produce, in one or more steps, an ester for use as a fuel and a pure glycerin.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for removing sulfur oxides, particularly sulfur dioxide, contained in gases such as industrial fumes, characterized in that the gas is contacted with a solid absorbent containing magnesium oxide, in such conditions that sulfur oxides are fixed mainly as magnesium sulfate and then the used solid absorbent is contacted with a gas stream containing elemental sulfur in such conditions that magnesium oxide is regenerated with the production of an effluent of sulfur dioxide containing gas.
Abstract:
There are described catalysts containing, as oxides, iron, chromium and potassium, the latter being optionally partly in form of kaliophyllite Al.sub.2 O.sub.3, 2 SiO.sub.2, K.sub.2 O, as well as lanthanum, in a proportion, calculated in oxide weight, of 1-15% with respect to the final catalyst.The presence in the catalyst of lanthanum oxide, optionally previously combined with cobalt or vanadium, at least in part in the form of a mixed oxide of the perovskite type, confers to the catalyst an improved activity and/or selectivity in dehydrogenation reactions, particularly of ethylbenzene to styrene.
Abstract:
A process for manufacturing catalysts containing, as oxides, iron, chromium, potassium, as well as a rare earth metal in a proportion, calculated in oxide weight, of 1-15% with respect to the final catalyst, comprises:a first step, wherein a product is prepared by a reaction between compounds of rare earth metal(s) and of another metal selected from Fe, Cr, Co, Al or V, and a calcination; anda second step wherein a mixture is formed between the product resulting from the first step, the other necessary reactants and water; the resulting paste is dried after optional shaping and calcined. A clayish material can be used in the step.The catalysts obtained present an improved efficiency in dehydrogenation reactions, particularly of ethylbenzene to styrene.

Abstract:
For the production of linear monocarboxylic acid esters with 6 to 26 carbon atoms vegetable oils or animal oils, which may or may not be neutral, are reacted with monoalcohols having a low molecular weight, for example 1 to 5 carbon atoms, in the presence of a catalyst that is selected from among zinc oxide, mixtures of zinc oxide and aluminum oxide, and the zinc aluminates that correspond to the formula:ZnAl.sub.2 O.sub.4, x ZnO, y Al.sub.2 O.sub.3(with x and y each being in the range of 0-2) and having more particularly a spinel type structure, thereby enabling the direct production in one or more stages, of an ester that can be used as a fuel or combustible and a pure glycerine.
