摘要:
An integrated process for utilizing waste heat from a glass making furnace. The hot off-gas from the furnace is initially partially cooled, then fed to a reformer. In the reformer, the partially cooled off-gas is further cooled against a hydrocarbon which is thus reformed into a synthesis gas, which is then fed into the glass making furnace as a fuel. The further cooled off-gas is then recycled back to absorb the heat from the hot off-gas to perform the initial cooling.
摘要:
A process for preparing an alkyl-tert-alkyl ether wherein an olefin having a double bond on a tertiary carbon atom and a primary alcohol are reacted in the presence of a catalyst under conditions sufficient to produce an azeotropic alcohol/ether/hydrocarbon mixture containing the alkyl-tert-alkyl ether. The azeotropic alcohol/ether/hydrocarbon mixture is subjected to a cyclic liquid phase adsorption process sequence to selectively remove the alcohol. The resulting non-azeotropic ether/hydrocarbon stream can then be easily separated by distillation to provide the desired alkyl-tert-alkyl ether product and a hydrocarbon product. The cyclic adsorption process employed to separate the alcohol from the ether/hydrocarbon mixture comprises introducing the alcohol/ether/hydrocarbon mixture into a plurality of adsorption colums containing an alcohol selective adsorbent, wherein each respective absorption column undergoes successive steps of adsorption and desorption.
摘要:
A process is provided for extracting high purity oxygen from gas turbine exhaust streams by passing the gas turbine exhaust over the feed side of solid electrolyte membrane selective to the permeation of oxygen over other components of the exhaust stream to separate the oxygen from the exhaust stream, and removing the oxygen product stream from the permeate side of the membrane.
摘要:
A wastewater treatment system of the activated sludge type is disclosed in which variable degrees of effective staging of the mixed liquor are achieved in an oxygenated aeration basin without the use of walls or partitions to physically divide the mixed liquor into separate liquid stages.
摘要:
In a process for preparing poly(vinyl alcohol), an improved method for separating the methanol/acetate azeotropes that result from said process. The azeotropes are separated by selective adsorption of methanol on an adsorbent followed by regeneration of the adsorbent with hot methanol vapor.
摘要:
Hydrolysis of COS in gas streams to H.sub.2 S and CO.sub.2 can be improved by the addition of certain bicyclo amine catalysts to acid gas removal solvents.
摘要:
An improved method of operating an activated biomass process wherein influent and activated biomass are initially contacted under anaerobic conditions to form a mixed liquor, the mixed liquor is subsequently oxygenated, thereafter activated biomass is separated from the mixed liquor and at least a portion of the separated biomass is introduced into the initial contacting step. The improved method comprises maintaining both the F/M ratio and the BOD/P ratio within particular ranges, preferably relative to each other.
摘要:
A wastewater treatment system of the activated sludge type is disclosed having an aeration basin provided with staggered partitions and of a particular geometrical design and mode of operation whereby more efficient purification of the wastewater may be achieved in a system of a given size.
摘要:
The present invention is an improvement to the conventional process for the production of phthalic anhydride. In particular, the present invention enables the crude phthalic anhydride product to be recovered in a more efficient manner.
摘要:
A process is provided for extracting high purity oxygen from a gas generator turbine exhaust stream by passing the turbine exhaust over the feed side of solid electrolyte membrane selective to the permeation of oxygen over other components of the exhaust stream to separate the oxygen from the exhaust stream, and removing the oxygen product stream from the permeate side of the membrane. The reject exhaust stream is then passed through a power generating turbine to recover net power.
