A process for the production of ethylbenzene by the ethylation of benzene in the critical phase in a reaction zone containing a molecular sieve aromatic alkylation catalyst comprising cerium-promoted zeolite beta. A polyethylbenzene is supplied into the reaction zone and into contact with the cerium-promoted zeolite beta having a silica/alumina mole ratio within the range of 20-500. The reaction zone is operated at temperature and pressure conditions in which benzene is in the supercritical phase to cause ethylation of the benzene and the transalkylation of polyethylbenzene and benzene in the presence of the zeolite beta catalyst. An alkylation product is produced containing ethylbenzene as a primary product with the attendant production of heavier alkylated byproducts of no more than 60 wt. % of the ethylbenzene. The alkylation reaction zone is operated under conditions providing a composite byproduct yield of propyl benzene and butyl benzene relative to ethylbenzene, which is no more than one half of the corresponding yield byproduct for zeolite beta promoted with lanthanum. The production of ethylbenzene in the critical phase alkylation reaction zone is attended by recycle of a polyalkylated aromatic component of the reaction product back to the reaction zone.
摘要:
A process for the preparation of an asphalt and polymer composition in which a minor amount of polymer component is subjected to a crosslinking. An asphalt base material is heated in a mixing chamber at a temperature sufficient to melt the asphalt and allow stirring of the asphalt within the chamber. A thermoplastic elastomer is added to the chamber in an amount not greater than 12 wt. %. While the asphalt elastomer formulation is stirred, a crosslinking agent is added in an amount effective to crosslink the thermoplastic elastomer. The crosslinking agent formulation comprises at least two components. One component is a thiopolymer incorporating organic sulfur prepared by the reaction of 6-tertiary butyl cresol and sulfur dichloride which reacts to produce a reaction product comprising 4,4-thiobis(6-tertiary butyl-m-cresol) and the thiopolymer, followed by subsequent separation of the 4,4-thiobis(6-tertiary-butyl-m-cresol) from the thiopolymer product. The second crosslinking component comprises a source of sulfur to crosslink the thermoplastic elastomer. The second crosslinking component may be selected from the group consisting of elemental sulfur, polythiomorpholine, specifically dithiodimorpholine, zinc-2-mercaptothiazole and mixtures thereof
摘要:
The present invention provides a method for preparing an asphalt and thermoplastic elastomer composition. The process comprises heating an asphalt cut in a stirred tank to a temperature sufficient to allow the stirring of the asphalt in the tank. A thermoplastic elastomer or rubber is added to the asphalt while continuing to stir the asphalt. The mixture is stirred at a speed and for a period of time sufficient to increase the distribution of the elastomer into the asphalt. The stirring speed is reduced and the temperature is increased to add an oil dispersion or aqueous emulsion of crosslinking agents to the tank. Stirring is continued for a period of time sufficient to improve the distribution of the crosslinking agent dispersion in the asphalt.

A modular exterior and interior panel, wall and divider system is provided. The modular wall system includes a support base, a plurality of horizontal two-sided panels, each having opposite vertical edges, and a plurality of vertical members secured to the support base. Each of the vertical members has at least one groove for receiving the opposite vertical edges of the horizontal panels. A decorative layer is applied on at least the exterior surfaces of the horizontal panels and the vertical members.

摘要:
A process for the regeneration of a deactivated zeolite beta catalyst such as rare earth promoted zeolite beta catalyst deactivated in the course of an aromatic alkylation reaction. A zeolite beta conversion catalyst deactivated with the deposition of coke is heated to a temperature in excess of 300° C. in an oxygen-free environment. An oxidative regeneration gas is supplied to the catalyst bed with oxidation of a portion of a relatively porous coke component to produce an exotherm moving through the catalyst bed. At least one of the temperature and oxygen content of the gas is progressively increased to oxidize a porous component of the coke. Regeneration gas is supplied having at least one of an increased oxygen content or increased temperature to oxidize a less porous refractory component of the coke. The regeneration process is completed by passing an inert gas through the catalyst bed at a reduced temperature.
摘要:
An improved liquid/liquid solvent extraction method and apparatus utilizes an external electrode for creating an electric field within an extraction cell to shatter aqueous sample droplets flowing within a non-conductive solvent. The external electrode is in intimate contact with the exterior surface of the insulative cell wall so as to preclude direct electrical contact between the electrode and the internal liquids. A sample interface detector permits the interface between the two liquids to be detected when the liquids sequentially flow out from the cell, thereby facilitating separate collection of the liquid. Interface detection is achieved by coupling electrical pulses into the flowing liquid to cause ionization charge/discharge cycles in the conductive aqueous sample but not in the non-conductive solvent. Downstream detection of the charge/discharge cycle in the liquid identifies the interface.

A process for removing suspended solids, particularly difficultly filterable inorganic solids, from an oil obtained as a refinery process fraction from steam and catalytic cracking units, shale oil retorting process fraction, or from coal conversion processes by adding to the oil an agglomerating agent which is a polyelectrolyte, usefully a water-in-oil emulsion of a water-soluble polymer whereby said solids are clustered together into readily separable agglomerates.
