    摘要: A method of transitioning from a first catalyst to a second catalyst in a gas phase fluidized bed reactor comprising continuously feeding the first catalyst and a recycle stream comprising olefin monomer to the reactor; wherein the monomer contacts the first catalyst in the fluidized bed and polymerizes; wherein the reactor is operating in condensing mode (withdrawing a gaseous stream comprising unreacted monomer from the reactor, cooling the gaseous stream to condense a portion thereof, and contacting the cooled gaseous stream with fresh monomer to form the recycle stream); and wherein a liquid phase of the recycle stream evaporates within the fluidized bed; discontinuing the first catalyst to the reactor while continuing to feed the recycle stream; maintaining the condensing mode in reactor at >3 wt. % liquid phase in recycle stream while no fresh catalyst is introduced to reactor; and introducing the second catalyst to the reactor operating in condensing mode.

    摘要: A process includes reacting, in a reactor having a fixed bed containing a solid catalyst which contains a heterogeneous ion exchange resin, hydrogen sulfide and ethylene oxide in the presence of the solid catalyst to yield a reaction product which contains beta-mercaptoethanol. A reactor system includes the reactor, an ethylene oxide stream, a hydrogen sulfide stream, a fixed bed containing the solid catalyst placed in the reactor, and an effluent stream containing the reaction product. During steady state operation of the reactor in the process and the reactor system, the hydrogen sulfide and the ethylene oxide are present in a mole ratio in a range of about 9:1 to about 20:1.
