摘要:
A process for catalytically converting cyclohexanone oxime to epsilon caprolactam. The conversion catalyst is a crystalline aluminosilicate zeolite having a Constraint Index greater than 1 and a reduced surface acidity. The surface acidity is reduced by selective surface dealumination of the crystalline aluminosilicate zeolite by contacting the zeolite with dicarboxylic acid, such as oxalic acid.
摘要:
A catalytic process is provided for the manufacture of ethers by reacting a linear monoolefin with a primary or secondary alcohol having up to 4 carbon atoms. The process selectively forms methyl isopropyl ether from a propylene feed and methanol by contact with a zeolite such as Zeolite Beta or ZSM-5, or by contact with a macroreticular sulfonated ion-exchange resin.
摘要:
Synthesis gas (a mixture of hydrogen gas and carbon monoxide) is converted to hydrocarbons by flowing the gas first over iron-containing Fischer-Tropsch catalyst and then over a zeolite. The Fischer-Tropsch catalyst contains relatively little nitrogen as a result of its preparation by continuous precipitation at a pH ranging from about 6.6 to 6.9 and a temperature ranging from about 80.degree. to about 100.degree. C.
摘要:
This specification discloses a process for the production of oxygenated compounds, more specifically aldehydes and alcohols, by reacting an olefin with hydrogen and carbon monoxide in the presence of, as a ctalyst, an insoluble polymer containing a functional group, which may be an amine, thiol, phosphine, or arsine group, having chemically bonded thereto a metal of Group VIII of the Periodic Table. The metal can be, for example, rhodium, cobalt, or ruthenium. The olefin can contain more than one carbon-to-carbon double bond, may be an open chain or a cyclic olefin, and may be substituted. Further, the olefin may be contained in a refinery stream such as a cracked gasoline. The reaction may be carried out in the presence of a polar solvent.
摘要:
Ethanol is recovered from a fermentation mixture by contact with a crystalline zeolite sorbent exemplified by ZSM-5, followed by desorption of concentrated ethanol. In one embodiment of this invention, the sorption step is conducted during fermentation to maintain the ethanol concentration in the fermenting mixture at a concentration below that which is toxic to the fermenting organism.
摘要:
Ketones are converted in one step to saturated dimeric ketones by passing them over a zeolite having a silica to alumina ratio of at least 12 and a Constraint Index of from 1 to 12 and containing a Group VIII metal.
摘要:
A mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen is contacted with a mixture comprising an element selected from the group consisting of ruthenium, rhodium and osmium carbon monoxide reduction catalyst and a crystalline alumino-silicate providing a pore dimension greater than about 5 Angstroms and a constraint index in the range of 1 to 12 to produce hydrocarbon mixtures useful in forming gasoline boiling range products, aromatic rich hydrocarbons, and chemical intermediates.
摘要:
A process is provided for alkylation or transalkylation of aromatic hydrocarbons by contacting same with an alkylating or transalkylating agent in a reaction zone maintained under alkylation/transalkylation effective conditions and in the presence of a catalyst comprising a crystalline aluminosilicate zeolite ZSM-35 and/or ZSM-38, said catalyst under said conditions being capable of affording a high and selective yield of desired alkyl-aromatic product while maintaining excellent aging properties.
摘要:
This specification discloses a process for the production of an alcohol by reacting an aldehyde or an acetal with hydrogen in the presence of carbon monoxide, and as a catalyst, an insoluble polymer containing a functional group, which may be an amine, thiol, phosphine, or arsine group, having chemically bonded thereto a metal of Group VIII of the Periodic Table.
摘要:
This specification discloses a method for carrying out catalytic polystep organic reactions at low temperature. The method is applicable to reactions wherein an initial reactant forms at least one intermediate product in one step of the reaction and an intermediate product forms a desired product in another step of the reaction. One of these steps is catalyzed by an acid group or a basic group and another step is catalyzed by a metal group or a metal compound group. The reaction is carried out by contacting the initial reactant with an ion exchange resin containing chemically bonded thereto as catalytic sites an acid group or a basic group and containing finely dispersed therein as catalytic sites at a distance from the other catalytic sites of the order of molecular dimensions a metal group or a metal compound group.
