Abstract:
Catalytic process for converting methanol and dimethyl ether to higher hydrocarbons comprising contacting the methanol and/or dimethyl ether with an alumina, silica, or zirconia-supported aluminum sulfate catalyst, at an elevated temperature.
Abstract:
An ethanolamine, preferably diethanolamine, is converted to triethylenediamine or 1,4-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazine, or both by pyrolysis using a B-subgroup metal oxide such as titanium dioxide or zirconium dioxide, as catalyst. In addition it has also been discovered that 1,4-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazine and N-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazine can be converted in high yields and conversions into triethylenediamine by pyrolysis using the same type of catalyst. When using an ethanolamine as the feedstock and a Group IV-B metal oxide as the catalyst, the process usually results in the coproduction of triethylenediamine and 1,4-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazine, and the latter can be recovered and used as a raw material for the production of additional triethylenediamine, as by recycle to the same reactor or as feedstock to an additional pyrolysis reactor.
Abstract:
A process for selectively preparing ethanol by contacting methanol, hydrogen and carbon monoxide with a solid catalyst comprising rhodium and iron in the reduced state deposited on a support of alumina impregnated with a promoter amount of a heterocyclic amine at reaction conditions correlated so as to favor the formation of a substantial proportion of ethanol.
Abstract:
A process for selectively preparing alpha-olefins having from 2 to about 22 carbon atoms by contacting a gaseous mixture containing carbon monoxide and hydrogen with an iron titanate-alkali metal hydroxide catalyst at reaction conditions correlated so as to favor the formation of a substantial proportion of such alpha-olefin product.
Abstract:
Monocarboxylic acids or esters thereof are reduced to aldehydes using hydrogen and a vanadium catalyst. For example, meta-phenoxybenzoic acid can be effectively converted to meta-phenoxybenzaldehyde in a vapor phase process using hydrogen as the carrier gas/reductant and a catalyst composed at least initially of vanadium pentoxide, either supported or unsupported.
Abstract:
Aromatic amines are alkylated by reaction with an acyclic ether or an unstrained cyclic ether in the presence of a B-subgroup metal oxide alkylation catalyst, preferably a Group IV-B metal oxide with or without a minor proportion of a Group VI-B or Group VIII metal oxide, so that alkylation of the aromatic amine occurs. Under most reaction conditions ether alkylating agents such as diethyl ether not consumed in the alkylation reaction pass through the reaction zone undecomposed and thus can be readily recovered for recycle or other use.
Abstract:
Aromatic amines are alkylated by reaction with an alcohol in the presence of a Group V-B metal oxide alkylation catalyst, preferably a major proportion of a Group V-B metal oxide such as V.sub.2 O.sub.5 in combination with a minor proportion of an A-subgroup metal oxide such as SnO.sub.2, so that alkylation of the aromatic amine occurs. Under most reaction conditions a considerable portion of the alcohol alkylating agent such as ethanol not consumed in the alkylation reaction passes through the reaction zone undecomposed and thus can be readily recovered for recycle or other use.
Abstract translation:芳族胺通过在VB族金属氧化物烷基化催化剂存在下与醇反应进行烷基化,优选大部分VB族金属氧化物如V 2 O 5与少量的A - 亚类金属氧化物如SnO2 ,从而发生芳族胺的烷基化。 在大多数反应条件下,在烷基化反应中未消耗的相当大量的醇烷基化试剂如乙醇通过未分解的反应区,因此可以容易地回收再循环或其它用途。
Abstract:
A process for the selective formation of ethanol and methyl acetate by contacting methanol, hydrogen and carbon monoxide with a catalyst comprising rhodium and iron in the reduced state deposited on a support of alumina containing a minor amount of an alkaline metal at reaction conditions correlated so as to favor the formation of a substantial proportion of ethanol and methyl acetate.
Abstract:
A process for selectively preparing alpha-olefins having from 2 to about 22 carbon atoms by contacting a gaseous mixture containing carbon monoxide and hydrogen with an iron tungstate-alkali metal hydroxide catalyst at reaction conditions correlated so as to favor the formation of a substantial proportion of such alpha-olefin product.
Abstract:
Amines and amides are N,N-cyclodialkylated by reaction with an unstrained cyclic ether in the presence of a B-subgroup metal oxide alkylation catalyst, preferably a Group IV-B metal oxide such as titanium dioxide.
