摘要:
A method for reducing the production of sludge derived from the treatment of wastewater. The sludge is subjected to a mechanical action in the presence of a gas containing oxygen. The mechanical action is performed in such a way as to destroy the cell walls of between 5% and 80% of the microorganisms present in the sludge.
摘要:
Aromatic aldehydes are produced by oxidation with oxygen of a para-cresol derivative in a solvent, in the presence of a base and a catalytic amount of a cobalt compound. The catalyst is a chelated complex of cobalt with a rigid structure that is slightly oxidizable selected from the group consisting of bis-(4-methylpyridine isoindolinato)cobalt(II) acetate, phthalocyaninatocobalt(II), and sulfophthalocyaninanatocobalt(II). The process is particularly suited to the production of p-hydroxy benzaldehydes.
