摘要:
Process for manufacturing methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) by reacting methanol with isobutene-containing hydrocarbons in a reaction zone comprising alternate beds of sulfonated resin catalyst and catalyst-free distillation zones, said zones also comprising liquid redistribution plates.
摘要:
The invention concerns a process for manufacturing methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) by reacting methanol with an isobutene-containing hydrocarbon mixture.This process is characterized by the steps of:introducing the reactants into a reaction-distillation zone containing at least two superposed and non-contiguous fixed beds (2a, 2b) of catalyst of the sulfonated resin type, wherein passage-ways are provided for a vapor phase, at least one distillation tray (4a), at least one liquid redistribution tray (5),maintaining distillation conditions in said zone so as to have a descending liquid phase and an ascending vapor phase,maintaining a continuous liquid phase in the lower part of said beds,discharging a vapor phase containing a high proportion of unconverted hydrocarbons from the top (8) of said zone, andwithdrawing a liquid phase of high MTBE content from the bottom (10) of said zone.

摘要:
A scanning apparatus for linewise reproducing an image on one face of a transparent image carrier onto light-sensitive means, which comprises support means (10) defining a support surface for the image carrier (12), an elongated light source (21b), a rod-like aspherical lens (23) disposed between said light source (21b) and said support means (10) for focussing said elongated light source onto an image carrier located on said support means, the characteristics of said lens (23) and its position with respect to said support means being such that the illuminating angle (.alpha.) of an image carrier on said support means (10) is at least 20 angular degrees and that light intensity variations over said angle are smaller than 15%, and an imaging lens (26) for forming an image of a scanned line (24) of an image on said carrier onto said light-sensitive means.

A C.sub.4 and/or C.sub.5 olefinic hydrocarbon cut, containing dimethyl ether and water as impurities, in a relative proportion of dimethyl ether to water of at most 5:1, is purified in a distillation zone where it is introduced at an intermediate level, distant from the top or from the bottom thereof by at least 3 theoretical plates, optionally with a stripping gas, and separated into a overhead fraction comprising an aqueous liquid phase and a hydrocarbon liquid phase at least partially recycled as reflux to the upper part of the distillation zone, and a bottom fraction formed of the purified C.sub.4 and/or C.sub.5 olefinic cut.
