摘要:
Tetrahydrofuran is polymerized in the presence of a carboxylic acid anhydride and a solid acid catalyst that has been calcined at a temperature greater than about 600.degree. C. Calcined bleaching earth catalysts give THF polymer products having a narrow molecular weight distribution; calcining amorphous silica-aluminas improves their activity toward THF polymerization.
摘要:
Compositions comprising boron-promoted reducible metal oxides (especially reducible oxides of Mn) containing alkali and alkaline earth metal components are disclosed, as well as use thereof for hydrocarbon conversions characterized by formation of by-product water. Particular processes comprise the conversion of methane to higher hydrocarbons and the dehydrogenation of dehydrogenatable hydrocarbons, e.g., dehydrogenation of C.sub.2 -C.sub.5 alkanes to form the corresponding olefins.
摘要:
Low viscosity polymer polyols having high styrene/acrylonitrile ratios and good stability may be achieved by the use of epoxy resin-modified polyols as the base polyols. The styrene/acrylo-nitrile ratio may be as high as 95/5 and even 100/0 in the polymer polyols. The epoxy resin-modified polyols useful as base polyols may be made by reacting a polyol initiator having an active hydrogen functionality of 3 to 8 and one or more alkylene oxides with an epoxy resin. It is preferred that only a small part of the epoxy resin-modified base polyol be initially charged to the reactor, and that the balance, a relatively larger part, be a part of the monomer feed stream to the reactor.

Mixed vanadium-titanium oxides catalysts having intrinsic surface areas before surface modification, greater than about 40 m.sup.2 /gram are disclosed. These catalysts are suitable for use in the preparation of acetic acid by gas-phase oxidation of butenes.
