Abstract:
Disclosed herein are processes, apparatuses, and systems for producing chemicals. One system may comprise a wall defining a chamber; a plurality of burners configured in an arrangement within the chamber, wherein each of the burners is supplied with a material and facilitates combustion of the material, and wherein the arrangement defines an inner volume disposed radially inwardly relative thereto; and an injector disposed within the inner volume and configured to introduce a feedstock into the chamber, wherein the plurality of burners provide thermal energy to facilitate thermal pyrolysis of the feedstock.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are new mixed metal oxide catalysts suitable as heterogeneous catalysts for catalyzing the transesterification process of aromatic alcohols with a dialkyl carbonate to form aromatic carbonates. The heterogeneous catalyst comprises a combination of two, three, four, or more oxides of Mo, V, Nb, Ce, Cu, Sn, or an element selected from Group IA or Group IIA of the periodic table.
