Abstract:
Process for synthesizing 4,4' bisphenol sulfone involving reacting phenol and sulfuric acid in an inert reaction solvent, and maintaining the reaction solvent at temperatures of about 160 to 200.degree. C. and at a predetermined level sufficient to maintain a saturated 4,4' isomer solution and an unsaturated 2,4' isomer solution, thereby selectively yielding 4,4' bisphenol sulfone with minimal amounts of 2,4' isomer by-product.
Abstract:
A process for recovering 4,4' bisphenol sulfone from an isomer mixture comprising the 4,4' and 2,4' isomers of bisphenol sulfone, which process comprises dissolving the isomer misture in a basic aqueous solution and adding a non-neutralizing amount of acid to selectively precipitate crystals of 4,4' bisphenol sulfone.
Abstract:

Abstract:
The invention is a catalyst comprising a titanium or vanadium zeolite, a binder, and zinc oxide, wherein the catalyst is preparing an aqueous mixture of the zeolite, a binder source, and a zinc oxide source, and subjecting the mixture to rapid drying. The catalyst is useful in olefin epoxidation.
Abstract:
An attrition-resistant catalyst is prepared contacting a spray dried zeolite with a modifying agent. The modifying agent is (i) a halogen-free compound hydrolyzable to an oxide selected from the group consisting of silica, alumina, titania, zirconia, niobia, and mixtures thereof; or (ii) a sol selected from the group consisting of silica, alumina, titania, zirconia, niobia, and mixtures thereof.

Abstract:
Large crystals of titanium silicalite or intergrowths of intergrown smaller crystals, having a mean particle size greater than 2 μm, have been found catalytically effective at commercially reasonable rates for the epoxidation of olefins in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. Crystals synthesized with a silica source having a low sodium content exhibit high levels of production and selectivity. The crystals have a low attrition rate and are easily filterable from a product stream.
Abstract:
The invention relates to the electrochemical production of alkylene oxides and particularly to a process wherein an alkylene oxide is produced at both the anode and cathode of an electrochemical reactor.
