摘要:
The addition of hafnium to oxidation catalysts provided by a heavy transition metal-bromine ion catalyst combination containing cobalt-manganese-bromine or manganese-bromine or cobalt-bromine and a soluble source of hafnium uniquely increases catalytic activity of the said catalyst combination for converting methyl groups on the benzene nucleus. The presence of hafnium in the total reactor contents is equal to or less than 250 parts per million by weight of the total reactor mother liquor. The solubility of the hafnium in the reactor solvent is such that reactor product cake contains less than 0.3 ppm by weight. Bromine emissions can be reduced.

Alcohols are catalytically oxidized to aldehydes, in particular to benzaldehyde and diformylfuran, which are useful as intermediates for a multiplicity of purposes. The invention also relates to the polymerization of the dialdehyde and to the decarbonylation of the dialdehyde to furan.

A process for preparing 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2,2-di(3,4-dicarboxyphenyl) propane anhydride is disclosed. 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2,2-di(3,4 -dimethylphenyl) propane is oxidized under liquid phase conditions in the presence of an oxygen-containing gas, bromine and heavy metal catalyst components to 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2,2-di(3,4-dicarboxyphenyl) propane in high yield. Addition of an anhydride of a low molecular weight carboxylic acid to the oxidation reaction mixture converts the 1,1,1-hexafluoro-2,2-di(3,4-dicarboxyphenyl)propane to 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2,2-di(3,4-dicarboxyphenyl) propane anhydride.

This invention relates to the reclamation of metal oxidation catalysts by water extraction of a high boiling residual mixture remaining after separation of a benzene di- and/or tricarboxylic acid; e.g., the phthalic acids, trimesic acid or trimellitic acid and reaction solvent, if one is used, from the fluid oxidation effluents produced by the catalytic liquid phase oxidation of a xylene, mesitylene, psendocumene or o-xylene and psendocumene with a source of molecular oxygen in the presence or in the absence of a reaction solvent.
摘要:
The present disclosure relates to a method for the stabilization of certain phosphorus-vanadium-oxygen complex catalysts by the repetitive reactivation of such catalysts using a specified class of reactivating agents. The present method is specifically applicable to the stabilization of phosphorus-vanadium-oxygen complex catalysts which are suitable for the production of maleic anhydride from aromatic or aliphatic feed streams. In a specific instance, the stabilization process incorporates passing a feed stream of an aliphatic hydrocarbon and oxygen over a phosphorus-vanadium-oxygen catalyst to cause it to deactivate, thereafter contacting the deactivated catalyst with a specified class of reactivating agents and thereafter repeating this sequence at least once. This process tempers the catalyst so it deactivates at a lower rate and is improved in its performance.

There is provided a process for the partial oxidation of a polymethylbenzene to the corresponding aromatic polycarboxylic acid, which process comprises contacting in a reaction zone said polymethylbenzene with molecular oxygen in the presence of an oxidation catalyst comprising at least one heavy-metal compound, said heavy-metal compound being acetate free, a source of bromine, and a non-metal acetate compound, the concentration of acetate in the reaction zone being employed to control the rate of oxidation and the selectivity of oxidation.There is also provided the catalyst that is employed in the process.
摘要:
This invention relates to the removal of nickel, iron and copper co-dissolved with cobalt or manganese, or cobalt and manganese in water so that cobalt, manganese, or cobalt and manganese can be precipitated as carbonates and then converted to their acetates sufficiently low in nickel, iron and copper so that said acetates can be recycled to the liquid phase air oxidation of a di- or trimethyl benzene to its corresponding di- or tricarboxylic acid without material inhibition of such oxidation.
摘要:
The present disclosure relates to a method of reactivation of phosphorus-vanadium-oxygen complex catalysts which are useful in the oxidation of hydrocarbons in particular acylic aliphatics such as alkanes or alkenes to oxidation products including aldehydes, ketones, acids and anhydrides. The present method of reactivation is implemented by passing selected halide containing materials over the catalyst at reactivation conditions to effect formation of a volatile vanadium compound which is removed from the catalyst. This procedure is applicable to reactivation of catalyst which during normal oxidation process become deactivated.
