Abstract:
Process for the production of concentrated aqueous solutions of hydrogen peroxide, comprising the following steps: (a) feeding to a reactor containing a catalyst based on palladium and platinum, heterogeneous and maintained in dispersion in a liquid reaction medium: (i) a liquid stream consisting of an alcohol or a mixture of C1–C3 alcohols or a mixture of said alcohols with water containing at least 50% by weight of alcohol, also containing an acid promoter and a halogenated promoter, the alcohol and optionally all or part of the water contained in the stream being recycled from the subsequent phase d); (ii) a gaseous stream containing hydrogen, oxygen and an inert gas, characterized in that the concentration of the hydrogen is less than 4.5% by volume and the concentration of the oxygen is less than 21% by volume, the complement to 100 being an inert gas; (b) removing from the reactor: (iii) a liquid stream consisting of stream (i) and also containing the hydrogen peroxide and water produced by the reaction, characterized in that the concentration of hydrogen peroxide ranges from 2% to 10% by weight; and (iv) a gaseous stream essentially consisting of non-reacted hydrogen and oxygen and the inert gas, (c) optionally adding to (iii) water in such a quantity so that its content is at least equal to that of the final aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide; (d) sending the stream deriving from (c) to a system consisting of one or more evaporators or distillation columns from which the following are removed: (v) one or more streams containing all the alcohol and possibly water, which are recycled to (a); (vi) a concentrated aqueous solution of H2O2 at a concentration ranging from 15 to 60% by weight; (vii) optionally a stream containing the water fed in excess in (c).
Abstract:
A new process is described for the preparation of a 2-aryl-propionic acid, such as for instance 2-[4-(2-methyl-propyl)phenyl]propionic or 2-(6'-methoxy-2'-naphthyl)propionic acid, through hydrogenation of a complex salt which consists of the mono- and/or di-valent anion of the corresponding 2-hydroxy-2-aryl-propionic acid, a di- or tri-valent metal cation, such as for instance Al(+3), Fe(+3), Zn(+2), or Mg(+2), and optionally other anonic or neutral ligands.This new process is particularly advantageous in that the starting salt can be obtained directly via electrocarboxylation of the corresponding aryl methyl ketone, e.g. 4-(2-methyl-propyl)acetophenone or (6-methoxy-2-naphthyl) methyl ketone, with metal anodes which dissolve during the electrolysis.

A liquid, fluid composition, comprising:(a) bis(allylcarbonate) of monomer diethylene glycol;(b) bis(allylcarbonate) of oligomer diethylene glycol;(c) tris(allylcarbonate) of monomer tris(hydroxyethyl)isocyanurate;(d) a monofunctional, unsaturated vinyl or methacryl ester monomer,is polymerized inside a mould (casting process), with fast polymerization cycle, to yield optical articles.
Abstract:
Substitutes for optical glasses are obtained by submitting to polymerization, in the presence of a free-radical initiator and in bulk, a polymerizable liquid composition containing:a monomer of diethyleneglycol bis(allylcarbonate);oligomers of diethyleneglycol bis(alllycarbonate);a monomer of tris(hydroxyethyl)isocyanurate tris(allylcarbonate); andat least one free-radical initiator.
Abstract:
The application relates to a process for synthesizing carbonic allyl esters from polyhydric alcohols, which are reacted with diallyl carbonate in the presence of a basic catalyst, which can be chosen from sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, sodium alcoholate, organic bases or basic ion exchange resins.The final products obtained differ according to the ratio of the components of the starting mixture. Thus, in the case of diols with a diallyl carbonate/diol ratio greater than or equal to 10, the resultant product is constituted by the bis allyl carbonate of the diol together with a quantity of less than or equal to 10% of oligomers represented mainly by dimers. If the ratio is less than 10, the percentage of oligomers rises until, in the case of an approximately stoichiometric ratio, it reaches a value close to 70% of the reaction product.
Abstract:
A composition based on aliphatic polycarbonates containing urethan groups and acrylic or metacrylic end groups, to be cross-linked in the presence of radicalic initiators for their functionalization with acrylic or metacrylic groups of a mixture composed of diols, polyols and their oligomeric derivatives terminated by OH groups and containing in their molecule carbonate groups and urethan groups.

Abstract:
Hydrogen sulfide is oxidized to sulfur by means of treatment with an aqueous acid solution containing trivalent iron and a hetero polyacid having formula (I): HnXVyM(12-y)O40; or a sole hetero polyacid having formula (II): HnMeM12O40; wherein the symbols X, M Me n and y are specified in the text. At the end of the oxidation, the solution is treated with gas containing oxygen to re-oxidize the reduced metal.

A method is described enabling HCl and possible entrained CuCl particulate to be removed from a gas-vapor stream leaving a dimethylcarbonate synthesis reactor. The contaminant removal is effected by one of the process fluids used in a small quantity.
Abstract:
Organic carbonates and cyclic organic carbonates are prepared by reacting an aliphatic or cycloaliphatic alcohol, or, respectively, an aliphatic diol, with carbon monoxide and oxygen, by operating in the presence of a complex catalyst of cobalt with organic ligands bearing one or more oxygen functional groups, as electron donors.
