摘要:
Highly active catalysts, suitable for use in hydrogenation and other reactions, are prepared from an alloy of one or more of the Group VIII transition metals with a Group IIA metal, a Group IVB metal, or an actinide. The alloy is ground to the desired particle size and is thereafter reacted with a gas, such as carbon monoxide and hydrogen, to form an intimate physical admixture of the Group VIII metal or its corresponding carbide with the oxide of other metal.
摘要:
Lithium chloride is separated from its mixtures with calcium chloride by preferentially dissolving the lithium chloride in tetrahydrofuran. The separation is achieved since the lithium chloride is soluble in tetrahydrofuran, while the calcium chloride is not. The process is particularly applicable to geothermal brines.
摘要:
A process for recovering copper from oxidized ores by utilizing alkaline leachants having incorporated therein siliceous material to inhibit the dehydration of the formed copper complex, thereby permitting increased recovery and improved settling and filtering characteristics of the reacted slurry.
摘要:
Tertiary amines such as alkyl or benzyl amines are catalytically oxidized by oxygen over an activated carbon catalyst to selectively produce secondary amines.
摘要:
A method for producing substantially pure alumina from kaolin clay by removing in a soluble form impurities which contaminate the alumina while the aluminum is maintained in an insoluble form. This is accomplished by leaching calcined kaolin clay with at least 36 weight percent hydrochloric acid to dissolve the impurities and convert the aluminum to insoluble aluminum chloride and maintaining the hydrochloric acid concentration in the leach liquor at at least 36 weight percent by the injection of hydrochloric acid gas. The insoluble aluminum chloride is then separated from the dissolved impurities and subjected to a second leaching step to solubilize and separate it from the silica gangue. Substantially pure AlCl.sub.3.sup.. 6H.sub.2 O crystals are recovered from solution and converted to alumina by conventional means. In an alternate embodiment, the process may be practiced on uncalcined clay and includes the addition of a source of fluoride ions, such as H.sub.2 SiF.sub.6, to the at least 36 weight percent hydrochloric acid leach liquor. An optional preleaching step utilizing 2N to 6N mineral acid is also disclosed.
摘要:
There is disclosed a process for extracting uranium values from a uranium-containing carbonaceous ore such as lignite. This process includes the step of treating the ore with an aqueous leach solution containing a water-soluble ferric salt.
摘要:
Aluminum nitrate solutions are subjected to hydrolysis at elevated temperature and pressure, with the pressure being kept relatively low by continual bleeding of reactant gases from the reaction vessel. The resultant product is a noncrystalline alumina that may be readily converted to crystalline alumina by roasting.In addition, the discharged reactant gases are employed for leaching of clay to provide aluminum nitrate feed solution.
摘要:
Alumina monohydrate is produced by leaching calcined clay and subjecting the leach liquor to pressure hydrolysis wherein the vapor and heat resulting from the pressure hydrolysis are directly utilized for leaching of the calcined clay. The aluminum monohydrate may be roasted to yield alumina.
摘要:
Alumina monohydrate is produced by treating aluminum nitrate solution at a temperature of about 250.degree. to 350.degree. C and a pressure of about 500 to 2500 psig.
