Abstract:
The subject invention provides a potentially economically viable process for the destruction of small to large quantities of sulfur and nitrogen mustards and lewisite, their homologous/analogues, and similar chemical warfare agents at ambient conditions without producing any toxic by-products. The process uses the superoxide ion that is either electrochemically generated by the reduction of oxygen in deep eutectic solvents or chemically by dissolving Group 1 (alkali metals) or Group 2 (alkaline earth metals) superoxides, e.g. potassium superoxide, in deep eutectic solvents.

Abstract:
The subject invention provides a potentially economically viable method for the preparation of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in deep eutectic solvents (DES). H2O2 is then used for the destruction of small to large quantities of sulfur and nitrogen mustards and lewisite, their homologous/analogues, and similar chemical warfare agents at ambient conditions in DES without producing any toxic by-products. Furthermore, H2O2 has been used for the destruction of small to large quantities of halogenated hydrocarbons, their homologous/analogues, and similar hazardous chemicals at ambient conditions. H2O2 can be formed by either the electrochemical reduction of oxygen in DES in the presence of water or by dissolving Group 1 (alkali metals) or Group 2 (alkaline earth metals) superoxides, e.g. potassium superoxide, in DES in the presence of water, with/without chemicals used for the enhancement of the solubility of the metal superoxide in the DES, e.g. crown ethers.

Abstract:
The subject invention provides a potentially economically viable method for the preparation of reactive superoxide ion in deep eutectic solvents (DES). The superoxide ion can be used for many applications, e.g. the degradation of hazardous chemicals at ambient conditions or in the synthesis of some special chemicals, e.g. carboxylic acids, aldehydes, and ketones from the corresponding alcohols. The superoxide ion can be formed by either the electrochemical reduction of oxygen in DES or by dissolving Group 1 (alkali metals) or Group 2 (alkaline earth metals) superoxides, e.g. potassium superoxide, in DES, with/without chemicals used for the enhancement of the solubility of the metal superoxide in the DES, e.g. crown ethers.

The present invention provides a catalyst composition for the production of olefins by oxidative dehydrogenation of hydrocarbons, and of using such catalyst compositions. The catalysts of the present invention include compositions of the formula: XxYyWOz wherein X is at least one element selected from the group consisting of Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, and Fr; Y is at least one element selected from the group consisting of B, Al, Ga, In, Ti, C, Si, Ge, Sn, and Pb; x is 0.5-2.5; y is 0.05-5; and z is the number of oxygen atoms required to satisfy the valancy of X, Y, and W in said composition. The methods and catalysts of the present invention are specifically useful for the combined production of propene and isobutene at relatively high conversion, selectivity, and productivity, and with minimal side products.

Abstract:
A process for separating fructose and glucose from mixtures of fructose and glucose from a liquid phase feed solution or a solid mixture containing the fructose and glucose is disclosed. The process implements ionic liquids as selective solvents that dissolve fructose and glucose in large quantities, but at different proportions which are then separated by filtration into a precipitate and a solution of ionic liquid enriched with the other sugar. The process also involves separation of the sugars from the ionic liquid enriched with the other sugar which is accomplished by one of various processes such as extraction with water in a centrifuge or cooling to reduce the solubility of sugar and then filtration. The ionic liquid is then recycled.
