摘要:
A novel method of oxidizing di- and trimethylbenzenes with molecular oxygen to the corresponding di- or tricarboxylic acid under liquid-phase conditions is disclosed. The process is conducted at a temperature of about 100.degree. C. to 260.degree. C. This process comprises conducting the oxidation in the presence of a catalyst system comprising a source of bromine with nickel, manganese and zirconium. The benzene di- and tricarboxylic acids have wide industrial application, including the manufacture of polyesters, polyamides, and fibers and films.

摘要:
This invention is related to the production of trimellitic anhydride (TMA). More specifically, the invention is related to the addition of a mineral acid or salt thereof in the production process of trimellitic anhydride to reduce the viscosity of the bottoms fraction when TMA is purified by distillation and thus to prevent fouling/plugging. This permits the use of lower levels of TMA in the bottoms fraction and increases TMA recovery.
摘要:
A process for the manufacture of trimellitic acid for pseudocumene feedstock wherein the amount of cobalt used as catalyst is reduced to the range of about 0.06 to about 0.25 weight percent based on pseudocumene feedstock.
摘要:
A process for the oxidation of pseudocumene to trimellitic acid anhydride which comprises catalytic oxidation of pseudocumene with air in the presence of acetic acid in an oxidation zone in the liquid phase and wherein the weight ratio of acetic acid to pseudocumene is in the range of about 1.0-2.5:1.0 and the catalyst comprises one or more heavy metal oxidation catalysts comprising zirconium, cobalt and manganese to provide about 0.2 to about 0.4 weight percent total metals based on pseudocumene and a source of bromine. The addition of the bromine component is controlled to provide a total of about 0.10 to about 0.30 weight percent total bromine based on pseudocumene. The total weight ratio of bromide ions to total metals ions is about 0.7 to about 2.0. The zirconium content is about 1 to about 5% and manganese content is about 14 to about 24% each by weight of the total metals. The reaction temperature is about 100.degree. C. to about 250.degree. C. The acetic acid and water of reaction are withdrawn during the last 5 to about 20% of the reaction.

摘要:
A process for the manufacture of trimelitic acid from pseudocumene is disclosed. The pseudocumene is oxidized in the presence of a cerium, cobalt, manganese, and optionally zirconium, bromine catalyst wherein all of the cerium is added in the second stage of the oxidation, and wherein most of the bromine is also added during the second oxidation stage. Trimellitic acid is useful in the manufacture of polyester and polyamide-imides.
