摘要:
A method for producing a mixture of ethylene and carbon monoxide by contacting ethane and an oxygen source with a catalyst comprising iron oxide supported on an inorganic material to produce ethylene and carbon monoxide. A method for producing an alkyl propionate by steps of: (a) contacting ethane and an oxygen source at a temperature of at least 600° C. to produce ethylene; (b) contacting an alcohol, ethylene and carbon monoxide with an ethylene carbonylation catalyst to produce the alkyl propionate; and (c) separating the alkyl propionate from byproducts and starting materials. The method further comprises condensing the alkyl propionate with formaldehyde to produce an alkyl methacrylate.
摘要:
A method for purification of crude triglycerides to be used as a raw material for production of biodiesel fuel. Crude triglycerides are contacted with a variety of adsorbents and ion exchange resins to reduce the levels of impurities.
摘要:
A continuous process for esterification of fatty acids in glyceryl esters with C1-C8 aliphatic alcohols in a tubular reactor. The method uses an expanded resin catalyst bed in the tubular reactor.
摘要:
A method for transesterification of triglycerides, especially those containing free fatty acids, with methanol. The method uses a catalyst derived from an acidic ion exchange resin. The catalyst is contacted with a reaction mixture containing a triglyceride and methanol under conditions suitable for transesterification.

摘要:
A method for production of stabilized fatty acid methyl esters. The method removes unsaturation present in fatty acid methyl esters, or removes unsaturation in triglycerides, which are then transesterified to fatty acid methyl esters.
摘要:
A method for purification of crude glycerol, especially crude glycerol derived from biodiesel production using alkaline catalysts. The method comprises combining the crude glycerol with acid, separating a glycerol layer, and treating the glycerol layer to decolorize it.
