Abstract:
Disclosed is a one-step method for synthesis of ethers from mixtures of acetone and t-butyl alcohol which comprises reacting an acetone-rich feed over a bifunctional catalyst comprising 5%-45% by weight hydrogenation catalyst on 55%-95% of the total catalyst weight of a support comprising a zeolite and a Group III or IV oxide.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a modified crosslinkable resin and a composite coating composition or system employing the resin. More particularly, the resin comprises an ethylenically unsaturated monomer or copolymer and para-hydroxybenzoic acid or substituted para-hydroxybenzoic acid, the reaction product thereof subsequently being reacted with a crosslinking agent gives rise to a composition including an ether linkage with a carbon-carbon site ortho to the phenolic hydroxy group.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an integrated process for the generation of a mixture of ethers, such as diisopropyl ether, methyl tertiary butyl ether, and/or isopropyl tertiary butyl ether, from a crude by-product acetone stream composed of acetone, tertiary butyl alcohol and methanol by passing such a stream, in the presence of hydrogen, over a catalyst system characterized by having both a hydrogenation activity gradient along the reactor in one direction and an etherification activity gradient in the opposite direction.
Abstract:
A process for catalytic hydrodewaxing hydrocarbon feedstocks is disclosed. The catalyst comprises a surface-modified crystalline aluminosilicate zeolite, such as ZSM-5 type zeolite in a matrix or binder, such as alumina, having a specified metals content. The process is especially useful for dewaxing lubricating oil basestocks.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a one-step method for synthesis of methyl tertiary butyl ether, diisopropyl ether and isopropyl ether from crude streams containing acetone, methanol and t-butyl alcohol which comprises reacting an acetone-rich feed over a bifunctional catalyst comprising 5-45% by weight of a catalyst consisting essentially of a hydrogenation catalyst selected from the group consisting of one or more metals selected from the group consisting of IB, VIB or VIII of the Periodic Table and a heteropoly acid on a 55%-95% of the total weight of the catalyst of a support comprising a compound selected from the group consisting of:a. a metal phosphate;b. 5 to 95% by weight metal phosphate supported on 95 to 5 wt % Group III or IV oxide; andc. a large pore silicoaluminophosphate.
Abstract:
A two-step integrated process for the generation of diisopropyl ether from a crude by-product acetone stream which comprises:a) Hydrogenating said crude acetone over a supported, hydrogenation catalyst to give an isopropanol-rich effluent;b) passing said isopropanol-rich intermediate directly to a second reactor, andc) subject said IPA to dehydration conditions in the presence of hydrogen and a strong acid zeolite catalyst from the group consisting of .beta.-zeolite, optionally modified with one or more metals from Groups IB, VIB, VIIB and VIII of the Periodic Table, and a dealuminized Y-zeolite.
Abstract:
A process for hydrodewaxing a hydrocarbon feedstock boiling above about 350.degree. F. by contacting the feedstock and hydrogen at a hydrogen pressure of from about 300 to about 2000 psig at a temperature of 400.degree. to 900.degree. F. and at a space velocity of about 0.1 to about 10.0 LHSV with a catalyst comprising about 0.1 to about 23 wt. % of an oxide of a Group VIII metal, such as nickel, or an oxide of a Group VIB metal, such as molybdenum; supported on a porous alumina support containing about 50 to about 85 wt. % of a crystalline alumino-silicate zeolite of the ZSM-5 type based on the weight of the support. The catalyst is further characterized by having greater than 60% of the pore volume between 45-600 Angstroms in the 70-200 Angstrom range. The process is especially useful for dewaxing lubricating oil basestocks.
