Abstract: A process for the dehydrogenation of a C2 or C3 alkyl aromatic compound to a corresponding vinyl aromatic compound in a tubular reactor incorporating a spiral flow path. Preferred embodiments of the invention provide processes for the production of styrene or divinylbenzene by the catalytic dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene or diethylbenzene, respectively. A feedstock containing a C2 or C3 alkyl aromatic and steam is supplied into the inlet of a tubular reactor containing a dehydrogenation catalyst and comprising a hydrogen permeable outer wall. The alkyl aromatic compound is dehydrogenated to a corresponding vinyl aromatic compound with the attendant production of hydrogen. The feedstock and products of the dehydrogenation reactor are flowed along a longitudinal spiral flow path providing for an outward radial flow of hydrogen to provide a pressure gradient through the hydrogen permeable outer wall of the reactor with the flow of hydrogen therethrough. Hydrogen is removed from the outer wall of the reactor. The resulting vinyl aromatic product is recovered from the tubular reactor.

Abstract: Asphalt and elastomeric polymer compositions crosslinked with mixed polythiomorpholines or at least one alkyl polysulfide can give polymer modified asphalts (PMAs) with improved properties and/or reduced H2S evolution. When at least one alkyl polysulfide is used to completely or partially replace conventional crosslinkers such as S or MBT, mercaptobenzimidazole (MBI) may be optionally used as a co-crosslinker. The use of mixed polythiomorpholines as crosslinkers provide PMAs with better low temperature profiles (BBR m-values). The use of at least one alkyl polysulfide crosslinker gives PMAs with improved PAV-aged DSR results, and reduced H2S evolution. The use of at least one alkyl polysulfide crosslinker together with MBI may give PMAs with improved PAV DSR Fail Temperatures.

Abstract: An ultraviolet spectroscopic system and method is described that allows accurate, real-time, analysis of an ultraviolet absorbing gas species (e.g., nitric oxide) in vehicle exhaust independent of the air/fuel ratio (i.e., changing hydrocarbon concentrations). The method, which accurately accounts for the continuously changing background, allows the gas species to be measured selectively and accurately in undiluted vehicle exhaust with portable hardware that can be used on-board a vehicle.

Abstract: In methods of preparing asphalt and elastomeric polymer compositions such as polymer modified asphalt (PMA), it has been discovered that the compatibility can be improved by adding excess amounts of certain organic and inorganic metal salts beyond the proportions normally used. Suitable metal salts may be metal oxides that include, but are not necessarily limited to, zinc oxide, calcium oxide, and the like. The method of the invention also permits asphalt modified with other polymers such as ground tire rubber (GTR) to have improved compatibility. Additionally, the use of excess amounts of these metal salts helps control gel formation.
