Abstract:
A catalytic process for producing methacrolein comprising reacting isobutyraldehyde in admixture with an oxygen-containing gas in the presence of a silver catalyst deposited on a silica carrier.
Abstract:
New lubricating oil additives are provided comprising the reaction product of diphenylolpropane with an aliphatic chain substituted-succinic anhydride or acid, which aliphatic chain substituent is substantially saturated and contains at least about 30 carbon atoms, said reaction product being neutralized with an amine, preferably a polyamine, such as a polyalkylenepolyamine. Lubricating oils, fuel oils, and carburants containing the new additives have excellent detergent, dispersing and anti-rust properties.
Abstract:
The invention is addressed to a continuous method for the recovery of sublimable substances by condensation in solid state on a fluidized bed of balls which are subsequently projected against rigid surfaces for separation of the condensate from the balls which may be recycled. The method is applicable to substances which are condensable in a solid state from a gaseous reaction mixture, as represented by phthalic anhydride.
Abstract:
Dielectric liquids are provided consisting essentially of a mixture of 25 - 33 parts of monochlorinated diphenyl, 28 - 36 parts of 2,4''-dichlorodiphenyl and 37 - 43 parts by weight of trichlorodiphenyl.
Abstract:
A PROCESS FOR THE TRANSESTERIFICATION WITH AN ALCOHOL OR ALCOHOLS CONTAINING 3-22 CARBON ATOMS OF A METHACRYLIC ACID ESTER FORMED OF AN ALCOHOL HAVING A LOWER BOILING POINT THAN THE ABOVE ALCOHOL, AND WHEREIN THE TRANSESTERIFICATION REACTION IS CARRIED OUT IN THE PRESENCE OF A TITANIUM ALCOHOLATE AS A CATALYST AND DINAPHTHYL PHENYLENE DIAMINE AS A POLYMERIZATION INHIBITOR, IN WHICH THE REACTION IS CARRIED OUT WITH OR WITHOUT BUBBLING AIR THROUGH THE REACTION MIXTURE, AND REMOVING THE DISPLACED ALCOHOL FROM THE REACTION MIXTURE, AS BY DISTILLATION.
Abstract:
A POLYMERIZABLE COMPOSITION FORMULATED OF AN UNSATURATED POLYESTER, AT LEAST ONE MONOMER HAVING AN ETHYLENIC DOUBLE BOND AND B-CHLOROPROPIONYL PEROXIDE AND THE METHOD FOR PRODUCING SHAPED PRODUCTS THEREOF BY FORMING MATERIAL TO THE DESIRED SHAPE AND ALLOWING THE SHAPED MATERIAL TO POLYMERIZE.
Abstract:
A PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF A FLUORINATION CATALYST WHEREIN CHROMIUM AND NICKEL SALTS OF ORGANIC ACIDS ARE TREATED AT AN ELEVATED TEMPERATURE UNDER VACUUM OR IN AN INERT ATMOSPHERE TO PRODUCE NON-STOICHIOMETRIC INORGANIC COMPOUNDS IN WHICH THE CHROMIUM HAS A VALENCE BETWEEN 2 AND 3 AND THE NICKEL HAS A VALENCE BETWEEN 0 AND 2, AND THE MIXTURE OF THE NON-STOICHIOMETRIC COMPOUNDS THEREBY OBTAINED IS SHAPED AND IS THEN CONTACTED WITH ANHYDROUS HYDROGEN FLUORIDE AT AN ELEVATED TEMPERATURE. THE CATALYSTS OF THE PRESENT INVENTION ARE USEFUL IN THE PREPARATION OF PERFLUORO COMPOUNDS BY REACTION OF PERHALOGENATED COMPOUNDS WITH HYDROGEN FLUORIDE.
Abstract:
A quench chamber for hot gases comprising an internal jacket formed of porous graphite and defining an internal volume, an external jacket encasing the internal jacket and defining at least one compartment therebetween and passage means communicating with the compartment and the internal volume for the passage of a cooling fluid to the internal volume.
