摘要:
A process for treating waste water from an industrial process for producing propylene oxide, which process involves the steps of: (a) subjecting the waste water to a multi-effect evaporation treatment resulting in a vaporous top fraction and a liquid bottom fraction containing the non-volatile contaminants; and (b) condensing at least part of the vaporous top fraction into a liquid stream which is subject to a stripping treatment resulting in an overhead stream containing volatile waste organic material and purified water as the liquid bottom stream.
摘要:
A process for the preparation of styrene or substituted styrenes that includes the steps of: subjecting a feed containing 1-phenyl ethanol or substituted 1-phenyl ethanol to a dehydration treatment in the presence of a dehydration catalyst; subjecting the resulting product stream to a separation treatment, thus obtaining a stream containing styrene or substituted styrene and a residual fraction containing heavy ends; and converting at least part of these heavy ends to styrene or substituted styrenes by subjecting a stream containing these heavy ends to a cracking treatment in the presence of an acidic cracking catalyst.

The invention pertains to a method of preparing styrene or substituted styrene involving (1) converting a mixture containing alkylbenzene hydroperoxide or substituted alkylbenzene hydroperoxide to a mixture containing phenyl alkanol or substituted phenyl alkanol and (2) dehydrating the phenyl alkanol or substituted phenyl alkanol, characterized by oxidizing an alkene to an alkylene oxide in step (1) in the presence of a heterogenous catalyst and dehydrating the phenyl alkanol or substituted phenyl alkanol in step (2) in the presence of a homogenous dehydration catalyst to obtain styrene or substituted styrene.
摘要:
A process for treating waste water streams containing at least hydrocarbons and salts to yield a clean water product, a concentrated brine product and a hydrocarbon-rich product, which process includes the steps of: (a) feeding the waste water feed into a first distillation column at a stage in the range of from 0.05 to 0.15 from the top, wherein n represents the total number of theoretical stages of the first distillation column and has a value in the range of from 20 to 40; (b) drawing off a vapor stream at a stage in the range of from 0.55 to 0.75 from the top and feeding this vapor stream into the bottom of a second distillation column having m theoretical stages, with m having a value in the range of from 3 to 10; (c) drawing off the clean water product as the top fraction from the second distillation column and drawing off a bottom stream from the second distillation column, which is fed back into the first distillation column below the draw off of the vapor stream in step (b) at a stage in the range of from 0.60 to 0.85 from the top; (d) drawing off the concentrated brine product as the bottom fraction of the first distillation column; and (e) drawing off the hydrocarbon stream as the top fraction of the first distillation column.
摘要:
The present invention pertains to a process for the hydrogenation of alkylaryl ketones, which process involves contacting a feed containing the alkylaryl ketones and from 0.5% to 30% by weight of phenolic compounds with hydrogen in the presence of a heterogeneous hydrogenation catalyst. The invention further relates to a process for preparing a hydrogenation catalyst with improved activity.
摘要:
Process for the preparation of styrene comprising the gas phase dehydration of 1-phenyl-ethanol at elevated temperature in the presence of a dehydration catalyst, wherein the dehydration catalyst consists of shaped alumina catalyst particles having a surface area (BET) in the range of from 80 to 140 m2/g and a pore volume (Hg) in the range of from 0.35 to 0.65 ml/g, of which 0.03 to 0.15 ml/g is in pores having a diameter of at least 1000 nm.
