Abstract:
A composition having a substantial or material absence of or no phosphorous and comprising a support material, a metal compound and either a hydrocarbon oil or a polar additive or a combination of both a hydrocarbon oil and polar additive. The polar additive has particularly defined properties including having a dipole moment of at least 0.45. The composition is useful in the hydroprocessing of hydrocarbon feedstocks, and it is especially useful in the hydrotreating of vacuum gas oils and petroleum resid feedstocks.
Abstract:
A catalyst composition comprising a cation and an anion of the formula Anq−Qpm+, wherein m, n, p, and q are positive integers, wherein m*p=n*q, wherein Qm+is an organo onium, and Aq−is an anion, provided that at least one Aq−is selected from the formula (I) wherein each R independently is H, halo, alkyl, aryl, aralkyl, or cycloalkyl, and which also may be halogenated, fluorinated, or perfluorinated, wherein two or more of R and R′ groups may together form a ring, wherein each R group independently may contain one or more heteroatom(s), wherein R′ can be the same as R, with the proviso that R′ cannot be halo, and wherein the catalyst composition is essentially free of hydrocarbon containing alcohol. Also provided are a fluoropolymer composition including this curative, a method of making a fluoropolymer, and fluoropolymer articles containing curable or cured fluoropolymer compositions.
Abstract:
Prepolymerized catalyst component for the polymerization of olefins CH2=CHR in which R is hydrogen or a hydrocarbyl radical with 1-12 carbon atoms, having average particle size equal to or lower than 30 μm comprising a solid catalyst component comprising magnesium halide, a titanium compound having at least a Ti-halogen bond and at least two electron donor compounds one of which being selected from 1,3-diethers and the other one being selected from esters of aromatic mono or dicarboxylic acids, said solid catalyst component being prepolymerized with an olefin, having from 2 to 10 carbon atoms, to such an extent that the amount of the olefin prepolymer is equal to or lower than 5Og per g of solid catalyst component.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a method for recovering a co-catalyst of an aqueous phase by treatment with a base and a step which consists in separating the co-catalyst whereby the co-catalyst is isolated from the aqueous phase treated with the base, typically by steam distillation or by distillation.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a novel transesterification catalyst having the general formula: Zn3M2(CN)n(ROH).xZnCl2.yH2O wherein R is tertiary-butyl and M is a transition metal ion selected from Fe, Co and Cr, x varies from 0 to 0.5, y varies from 3-5 and n is 10 or 12. The above said catalyst is useful for an efficient transesterification of glycerides, fatty acid esters and cyclic carbonates on reactions with alcohols.
Abstract:
A catalyst composition comprises the reaction product of an alkoxide or condensed alkoxide of a metal M, selected from titanium, zirconium, hafnium, aluminium, or a lanthanide, an alcohol containing at least two hydroxyl groups, a 2-hydroxy carboxylic acid and a base, wherein the molar ratio of base to 2-hydroxy carboxylic acid is in the range 0.01 - 0.79:1. The composition is useful as a catalyst for esterification reactions, especially for the production of polyesters such as polyethylene terephthalate, polytrimethylene terephthalate and polybutylene terephthalate.
