摘要:
This invention relates to a process for producing a nonequilibrium distribution of methylamines by the catalyzed reaction of methanol and/or dimethyl ether with ammonia and by the catalytic reforming of a methylamine containing feedstock. One process selectively affords a reaction product enriched in mono and dimethylamines and low in trimethylamine, at high conversion of methanol or dimethylether. A variation of the process effects reforming a methylamine containing feedstock, optionally containing ammonia over a catalyst. The key to achieving this low TMA selectivity at high conversion resides in the use of a microporous zeolite, preferably chabazite, catalyst having a geometric selectivity index (GSI) less about 3, a shape selectivity index (SSI) greater than about 5 and a sorption capacity for 1-PrOH of at least 0.5 mmol/g.

The present invention is directed to adsorptive separation of nitrogen with active adsorbent phases with high N.sub.2 capacity and high heats of adsorption when diluted with inert material at levels ranging from 5% to 80%. The presence of diluent reduces the temperature swings in the adsorbent bed, which increases the utilizable effective N.sub.2 working capacity and decreases the relative amount of O.sub.2 left unrecovered on the active adsorbent phase. The net result is equal or better process performance allowing utilization of a lower amount of active adsorbent phase. Use of a diluent having a higher heat capacity than that of the active adsorbent phase increases these benefits, but dilution effects are beneficial even for diluents with heat capacities equal to or lower than that of the active adsorbent phase.
摘要:
Carbon molecular sieves, useful in the separation of air into oxygen and nitrogen, are improved through modification of the micropores of the sieve by contact with the pyrolysis products of a carbon-containing compound in the gaseous state diluted with helium, with or without nitrogen as a part of the diluting gas. Volatile organic compounds, such as trimethylcyclohexane, are used with the diluent gas to narrow the micropore openings of a carbon molecular sieve and increase its kinetic selectivity for oxygen adsorption. Carbon dioxide and helium or argon in the diluent gas are used to open pores available to contacting gases.
摘要:
A process is provided for making a modified carbon molecular sieve which is suitable for separating gases having different adsorption rates on the sieve. The process involves modifying a starting sieve support having a majority of micropores with an effective pore size of about 4.5 to 8 angstroms, with a two-step process in which the sieve is contacted with two different volatile carbon-containing organic compounds, preferably hydrocarbons, which have different molecular dimensions. The compound used in the first step is larger than that in the second step, so that the pore openings of the micropores of the support are narrowed successively in two distinct steps without filling the micropores themselves. The invention also discloses an improved carbon molecular sieve and the separation of gases, such as oxygen from nitrogen, by the use of this improved adsorbent.
摘要:
This invention relates to a method for the preparation of selective acetylene hydrogenation catalysts. More specifically, this invention relates to a pretreatment method for supported and unsupported Group VIII metal catalysts and the use thereof for the conversion of an acetylene-, ethylene- and hydrogen-containing feedstream to gasoline range hydrocarbons.
