Abstract:
A process in which spent catalyst is regenerated with or without the complete combustion of CO in a regeneration zone comprising a first dense bed, a dilute phase transport riser and a second dense bed. Higher velocities and higher O2 concentrations employed within the regeneration zone result in shorter catalyst and gas residence time, reduced catalyst inventory, lower catalyst makeup rate, improved regeneration, and improved catalyst stability. The substantially complete combustion of CO eliminates CO pollution of the atmosphere without the need for a CO boiler and decreases feed preheat requirements.
Abstract:
A process is provided for the preparation of Alpha , Beta olefinically unsaturated alkyl phosphonate esters by the dehydrohalogenation of the corresponding Beta -haloalkyl phosphonate esters comprising contacting the haloalkyl phosphonate with basic alumina. A method is also provided for the regeneration of spent alumina catalyst by heating to a temperature in excess of 200* C.
Abstract:
A PROCESS IS PROVIDED FOR THE PREPARATION OF A,B-OLEFINICALLY UNSATURATED ALKYL PHOSPHONATE ESTERS BY THE DEHYDROHALOGENATION OF THE CORRESPONDING B-HALOALKYL PHOSPHONATE ESTERS COMPRISING CONTACTING THE HALOALKYL PHOSPHONATE WITH BASIC ALUMINA. A METHOD IS ALSO PROVIDED FOR THE REGENERATION OF SPENT ALUMINA CATALYST BY HEATING TO A TEMPERATURE IN EXCESS OF 200*C. THESE PHOSPHONATES ARE USEFUL AS COPOLYMERIZING AGENTS, TERMINATING AGENTS, AND CROSS-LINKING AGENTS IN THOSE APPLICATIONS WHERE A DEGREE OF FLAME RETARDANCE IS OF SPECIAL VALUE IN POLYMERIC COMPOSITIONS.
Abstract:
The sweetening of natural gasoline liquid fractions employing molecular sieve type adsorbents to selectively adsorb the sulfur compound impurities is accomplished using a minimum of nonsorbable purge gas for regeneration purposes. The process comprises using a low boiling condensable paraffin to purge the sulfur compounds from the principal adsorption bed, condensing said paraffin, purifying same in the liquid phase by passage through a large pore molecular sieve bed, and thereafter removing the sulfur compounds from the latter bed with a non-sorbable purge gas.
Abstract:
A METHOD OF RESTORING ACTIVITY TO CRACKING CATALYSTS WHICH HAVE BEEN CONTAMINATED WITH METALS WHICH INVOLVES PASSIVATING THE METALS BY CONTACTING THEM WITH ANTIMONYCONTAINING COMPOUNDS AND RESTORING THE CATALYST ACTIVITY THEREAFTER BY CONVENTIONAL CALCINATION TECHNIQUES.
Abstract:
A SPENT ALUMINA THAT HAS BEEN IN CONTACT WITH AN ANTHRAQUINONE WORKING SOLUTION (MADE UP OF AN ANTHRAAQINONE WORKING COMPOUND DISSOLVED IN ONE OR MORE SOLVENTS) AND WHICH HAS BEEN USED TO MAINTAIN THE HYDROGEN PEROXIDE PRODUCTIVITY OF THE SOLUTION IS REGENERATED BY ROASTING THE ALUMINA AT A TEMPERATURE OF ABOUT 300400* C. UNTIL ADSORBED ORGANIC MATTER HAS BEEN REMOVED, CONTACTING THE ROASTED ALUMINA WITH AN AQUEOUS SODIUM HYDROXIDE SOLUTION AND ROASTING THE CAUSTIC-TREATED ALUMINA AT ABOUT 300-400* C. UNTIL THE ALUMINA HAS BEEN REGENERATED.
