摘要:
GEM-POLYMETHYLCYCLOHEXANES ARE PRODUCED BY A PROCESS OF CONTACTING CERTAIN ALKYLCYCLOHEXANES UNDER ANHYDROUS CONDITIONS WITH A FRIEDEL-CRAFTS CATALYST AND AN EFFECTIVE AMOUNT OF A PROMOTER FOR THE CATALYST SELECTED FROM HYDROGEN HALIDE, ALKYL HALIDES, OLEFINS AND MIXTURES THEREOF AT TEMPERATURES IN THE RANGE OF 0 TO 70*C. THE CONTACT TIME IS GENERALLY FROM 0.1 TO ABOUT 10 HOURS.
摘要:
A CONTINUOUS PROCESS FOR THE PURIFICATION OF LIGHT PARAFFINIC FRACTION BOILING IN THE RANGE OF 25* TO 100*C. AND CONTAINING AS MAJOR PORTION STRAIGHT CHAIN PARAFFINS, BRANCHED PARAFFINS AND CYCLOPARAFFINS AND AS A MINOR PORTION AN IMPURITY SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS, SULPHUR-CONTAINING COMPOUNDS, NITROGEN-CONTAINING COMPOUNDS, AND OTHER NON--HYDROCARBON IMPURITIES, AND MIXTURES THEREOF, THE SULPHUR CONTENT BEING NO GREATER 500 P.P.M., SAID PROCESS COMPRISING: HYDROGENATION SAID LIGHT PARAFFINIC FRACTION AT A TEMPERATURE IN THE RANGE OF 150 TO 375*C., UNDER A PARTIAL PRESSURE OF HYDROGEN OF 10 TO 100 KG./CM.2, AT A S VELOCITY OF 0.5 TO 20 V./V./H. AND A HYDROGEN TO HYDROCARBON RATIO OF 100 TO 3,000 NM.3/M.3, IN THE PRESENCE OF A HYDROGENATING CATALYST CONTAINING BETWEEN 0.1 AND 2% OF PLATINUM ON A SILICA-ALUMINA CARRIER, SILICA BEING IN MAJOR QUANTITY, AND AT LEAST 30% OF THE PLATINUM BEING DISTRIBUTED ON THE CATALYST SURFACE WHICH IS ACCESSIBLE TO THE REACTANTS, FRACTIONATING THE PRODUCTS OF THE HYDROGENATION TO SEPARATE THE HYDROGENATED SULPHUR- AND NITROGEN-CONTAINING COMPOUNDS AND TO RECOVER A PARAFFINIC FRACTION SUBSTANTIALLY CONTAINING ONLY PARAFFINIC HYDROCARBONS WITH AN INCREASED CONTENT OF CYCLOPARAFFINS.
摘要:
A PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF POLYMETHYLBENZENES FROM ALKYL AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS HAVING AT LEAST ONE ALKYL RADICAL WITH MORE THAN ONE CARBON ATOM, SAID PROCESS COMPRISING HYDROGENATING SAID ALKYL AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS INTO THE CORRESPONDING ALKYLCYCLOALKANES, ISOMERIZING SAID ALKYLCYCLOALKANES IN THE PRESENCE OF FRIEDEL CRAFTS CATALYST TO PROVIDE POLYMETHYLCYCLOHEXANES ISOMERS OF SAID ALKYLCYCLOALKANES AND THEN SUBJECTING SAID
POLYMETHYLCYCLOHEXANES ISOMERS TO A COMBINED DEHYDROGENATION-ISOMERIZATION STEP TO THEREBY OBTAIN POLYMETHYLBENZENES.
摘要:
A MIXTURE OF FORMIC ACID, WATER AND ACETIC ACID ARE SEPARATED BY CONTINUOUS DISTILLATION IN A COLUMN STILL BY ADDING THE FEED AT LEAST ABOVE THE TENTH THEORETICAL PLATE AND ADDING AN ESTERIFYING AGENT FOR THE FORMIC ACID CONSISTING OF AN ALCOHOL OR AN ESTER OF THE ALCOHOL IN WHICH THE ALCOHOL HAS AT LEAST THREE CARBON ATOMS AND PREFERABLY 3 TO 8 CARBON ATOMS, AND THE ACID OF THE ESTER BEING HIGHER BOILING THAN FORMIC ACID, THE ESTERIFYING AGENT BEING ADDED IN AN ESTERIFICATION ZONE DISPOSED AT LEAST ONE THEORECTICAL TRAY ABOVE THE FEED LEVEL WHEREBY CONCENTRATED ACETIC ACID ACCUMULATES AT THE BOTTOM OF THE COLUMN AND SUBSTANTIALLY ALL OF THE FORMIC ACID AND WATER PASS OVERHEAD AS THE FORMIC ESTER; THE ESTER CONTINUOUSLY FORMED OF THE FORMIC ACID SERVES AS A WATER ENTAINING AGENT AND PASSES OVERHEAD OF THE COLUMN WITH THE WATER.
摘要:
POLYALKYBENZENES HAVING THE SAME NUMBER OF CARBON ATOMS AS THE FEED CONSISTING OF GEM STRUCTURED POLYALKYLCYCLOHEXANES ARE PRODUCED WITH AN ACIDIC, DIFUNCTIONAL DEHYDROGENATION-ISOMERIZATION CATALYST IN A REACTION ZONE MAINTAINED AT A TEMPERATURE IN THE RANGE OF FROM 200 TO 600*C. AND A PRESSURE NO GREATER THAN 750 P.S.I. A PREFERRED PROCESS INCLUDES THE PRODUCTION OF DURENE FROM GEM-TETROMETHYLCYCLOHEXANES.
