摘要:
Diisopropenylbenzene is a monomer that can be used in the preparation of many useful polymers and is also a chemical intermediate that can be employed in a number of chemical processes. Diisopropenylbenzene is normally synthesized by the dehydrogenation of diisopropylbenzene. Unfortunately in this dehydrogenation process a number of olefinic impurities are produced as by-products. This invention discloses a process for the separation of diisopropenylbenzene from these impurities and for recycling some of the impurities. In one embodiment of this invention this process comprises: (1) hydrogenating diisopropylbenzene to form a dehydrogenation mixture containing diisopropenylbenzene and organic impurities, (2) continuously distilling said dehydrogenation mixture to separate said diisopropenylbenzene from said organic impurities, (3) fully hydrogenating said organic impurities to form a mixture of regenerated diisopropylbenzene and saturated organic impurities, and (4) fractionally distilling said mixture of regenerated diisopropylbenzene and saturated organic impurities under conditions sufficient to operate said regenerated diisopropylbenzene from said saturated organic impurities. The regenerated diisopropylbenzene can then be recycled for dehydrogenation with fresh diisopropylbenzene in the first step of the above described process.

An improved process for the manufacture of a dihydric phenol such as hydroquinone wherein a dialkylbenzene is oxidized to a dihydroperoxide, the dihydroperoxide being extracted from the oxidate by a caustic solution, leaving an organic phase for recycle to the oxidizer, the improvement comprising decreasing the caustic concentration in the recycle organic phase and increasing the dihydroperoxide concentration of the recycle phase by washing the organic phase from the caustic extract with an aqueous phase removed from the oxidizer, separating the organic phase from the aqueous phase and subsequently introducing the organic phase to the oxidizer.

Aqueous liquids, such as water, can normally penetrate through conventional carpet. Thus, in cases where water is spilled on conventional carpet, it typically seeps through and ultimately reaches the flooring below. This trapped water can lead to bacterial or fungal growth which can further cause odors and/or deterioration of the carpet backing or flooring. This invention relates to a technique for treating carpet to render it impervious to aqueous liquids. This invention specifically discloses a process for treating carpet which is comprised of a pile and a backing to render said carpet impervious to aqueous liquids, said process comprising the steps of (1) coating the bottom side of said backing with a water-resistant coating composition which is comprised of (i) a latex of a polymer which is comprised of repeat units which are derived from (a) about 30 weight percent to about 84 weight percent vinyl aromatic moochers, (b) about 15 weight percent to about 65 weight percent alkyl acrylate moochers and (c) about 1 weight percent to about 6 weight percent unsaturated carbonyl group containing moochers, (ii) a coalescing solvent and (iii) a thickener; and (2) allowing the water-resistant coating composition to dry on the bottom side of said backing to produce the treated carpet which is impervious to aqueous liquids.

By utilizing the vapor phase polymerization techniques of the present invention, numerous distinct and highly beneficial advantages are realized. For instance, cis-1,4-polyisoprene rubber and high cis-1,4-polybutadiene rubber having a consistent and controllable molecular weight can be easily and practically prepared without utilizing a solvent. The subject invention more specifically discloses a method for vapor phase polymerizing isoprene into cis-1,4-polyisoprene in a process comprising the steps of:(1) charging into a reaction zone said isoprene and a preformed catalyst system which is made by reacting an organoaluminum compound with titanium tetrachloride, preferably in the presence of at least one ether; wherein the isoprene is maintained in the vapor phase in said reaction zone by a suitable combination of temperature and pressure;(2) allowing said isoprene to polymerize into cis-1,4-polyisoprene at a temperature within the range of about 35.degree. C. to about 70.degree. C.; and(3) withdrawing said cis-1,4-polyisoprene from said reaction zone. It has been determined that gel formation can be reduced by conducting the polymerization of isoprene monomer in the presence of a diarylamine, such as para-styrenated diphenylamine.

There is disclosed a process for the production of alkylated hydroxyanisoles which consists of dehydrogenating para-isopropylphenol to para-isopropenylphenol which is then reacted with a methylating agent to yield para-isopropenylanisole which is then treated with acidic hydrogen peroxide to yield para-hydroxyanisole which is then treated with an alkylating agent to yield the alkylated hydroxyanisole. The process of this invention is especially useful for the synthesis of the food preservative butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA).

An improved method for the acid-catalyzed rearrangement of a dialkylbenzene dihydroperoxide to a dihydric phenol which eliminates the formation of an emulsion during the subsequent separation and recovery of the dihydric phenol in a process which utilizes water, the method comprising the addition of the acid as a solution in a water soluble organic solvent, preferably a ketone, which is non-reactive with the acid.
摘要:
This invention is based upon the unexpected discovery that ethyl lactate can be used as an emulsifying/dispersing excipient for numerous biologically active compounds without destroying the pharmacological activity of the active ingredient. Ethyl lactate proves to be an extremely effective agent for solubilizing biologically active compounds that are difficult to solubilize in conventional excipients. The operability of this invention is predicated on the necessity for the ethyl lactate to be essentially free of peroxide compounds. Such pharmaceutical grade ethyl lactate can be made by reducing the level of peroxide compounds in high purity ethyl lactate by hydrogenation, reduction with a non-catalytic chemical reducing agent, absorption into activated carbon or alumina, or distillation. In any case, it has been determined to be critical for the level of peroxide compounds to be reduced to less than 10 ppm for the pharmaceutical grade ethyl lactate to be viable as an excipient for many biologically active ingredients. The present invention more specifically discloses a pharmaceutical composition which is comprised of a biologically active ingredient wherein said biologically active ingredient is dispersed in ethyl lactate and wherein said ethyl lactate contains no more than 10 ppm of peroxidic materials and maintains a Gardner 1 color rating throughout its shelf-life period.
