摘要:
A method of mixing an oxygen gas with a hydrocarbon-containing gas includes the steps of wet scrubbing the oxygen gas in a wet scrubber, supplying oxygen gas from the wet scrubber to a gas mixer and mixing the oxygen gas with the hydrocarbon-containing gas in the gas mixer. Wet scrubbers for use in the method may take various forms, including packed-tower, bubble cap, and sparger-type wet scrubbers. The removal of the particulate matter reduces the risk of ignition of the hydrocarbon-containing gas in the gas mixer. The use of a wet scrubber in the oxygen supply line overcomes many problems currently faced with screen and filters, as per current practice.

A supported catalyst and a catalyst mixture, useful for the direct epoxidation of olefins, are disclosed. The supported catalyst comprises a noble metal, lead, and a carrier that has been treated by contacting with nitric acid. The catalyst mixture comprises a titanium or vanadium zeolite and the supported catalyst. The invention also includes a process for producing an epoxide comprising reacting an olefin, hydrogen and oxygen in the presence of the catalyst mixture. The process results in significantly reduced alkane byproduct formed by the hydrogenation of olefin.

摘要:
A geometrically shaped solid carrier is provided that improves the performance and effectiveness of an olefin epoxidation catalyst for epoxidizing an olefin to an olefin oxide. In particular, improved performance and effectiveness of an olefin epoxidation catalyst is achieved by utilizing a geometrically shaped refractory solid carrier in which at least one wall thickness of said carrier is less than 2.5 mm.
摘要:
An improved process for the recovery of a high-purity, ethylene oxide-water stream for use as feed to integrated ethylene glycol or ethylene oxide purification reactors by first contacting the gaseous effluent from ethylene oxide reactors with an aqueous alkaline quench solution water wash, then absorbing ethylene oxide from the washed vapor into process water to produce a dilute EO-water absorbate of which 10-90% is sent directly to the EO reabsorber/residual absorber, thereby bypassing the EO stripper.
摘要:
The invention describes a process for producing a catalyst useful for the epoxidation of an olefin. More particularly, the invention pertains to a catalyst useful for the oxidation of ethylene to ethylene oxide. The catalyst comprises a solid support such as alpha-alumina, which has a catalytically effective amount of silver or a silver-containing compound, and a promoting amount of rhenium or a rhenium-containing compound, and a promoting amount of one or more alkali metals or alkali metal-containing compounds on the surface of the support. To produce a catalyst precursor. The catalyst precursor is contacted with an atmosphere comprising oxygen and steam, which atmosphere is substantially absent of an olefin, to hasten the attainment of peak selectivity in the process of oxidation of ethylene to ethylene oxide.
