摘要:
An organic solution of a soluble molybdenum compound is ammonated with ammonia, ammonium hydroxide and/or an ammonium salt in order to significantly reduce the electrical resistance of the solution and a direct electric current is passed therethrough in order to collect a significant amount of the molybdenum in solid form at the negative electrode. Preferably, an epoxidation reaction product formed by the molybdenum catalyzed reaction of propylene with tertiary butyl hydroperoxide to provide propylene oxide and tertiary butyl alcohol is separated by distillation into a propylene fraction, a propylene oxide fraction, a tertiary butyl alcohol fraction and a heavy liquid distillation fraction containing substantially all of the dissolved molybdenum catalyst, the heavy liquid distillation fraction is saturated with ammonia to precipitate the molybdenum therefrom, the precipitated molybdenum is removed from the ammonated heavy distillation fraction and a direct electric current is passed through the remaining liquid portion of the ammonated fraction in an electrolytic cell in order to collect a significant portion of the remaining molybdenum residually dissolved therein at the cathode.

An epoxidation reaction product formed by the molybdenum catalyzed reaction of propylene with tertiary butyl hydroperoxide to provide propylene oxide and tertiary butyl alcohol is separated by distillation into a propylene fraction, a propylene oxide fraction, a tertiary butyl alcohol fraction and a heavy liquid distillation fraction composed primarily of tertiary butyl hydroperoxide, tertiary butyl alcohol, dissolved molybdenum catalyst, and impurities including lower aliphatic C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 carboxylic acids, and the heavy liquid distillation fraction is saturated with hydrogen to precipitate the molybdenum therefrom for recovery.

Impure propylene oxide is purified by a distillation process wherein it is (a) extractively distilled in a first column using a C.sub.2 to C.sub.6 alkylene glycol extractive distillation agent to form a first overhead fraction comprising propylene oxide, C.sub.5 -C.sub.7 hydrocarbons methanol, water and oxygen-containing impurities, (b) wherein the first overhead fraction is separated in a second column into a second overhead fraction comprising most of the pentanes, pentenes and oxygen-containing impurities and a partially purified propylene oxide bottoms fraction comprising propylene oxide, hexenes, hexanes, and only residual quantities of pentenes and pentanes, (c) wherein the partially purified bottoms fraction is extracting distilled in a third column using a C.sub.7 -C.sub.10 alkane hydrocarbon extractive distillation agent to provide a further purified bottoms fraction containing substantially all of the propylene oxide, hexenes, hexanes charged to the third distillation column, and (d) the further purified bottoms fraction is extractively distilled in a fourth column using a C.sub.7 to C.sub.10 alkane hydrocarbon extractive distillation agent to provide a purified propylene oxide overhead fraction consisting essentially of propylene oxide.
摘要:
Methyl formate is removed from impure propylene oxide by contacting the impure propylene oxide in a treating zone with a basic ion exchange resin for a period of time sufficient to convert the methyl formate to formic acid and methanol, and by withdrawing a substantially methyl formate-free treated propylene oxide product from the treating zone.
摘要:
It has been discovered in accordance in accordance with the present invention that a tertiary butyl alcohol/ditertiary butyl peroxide azeotrope may be recovered from a product containing tertiary butyl alcohol and ditertiary butyl peroxide by distilling the tertiary butyl alcohol product to obtain an overhead fraction containing substantially all of the ditertiary butyl peroxide/tertiary butyl alcohol azeotrope and other contaminants.It has been further discovered in accordance with the present invention that the ditertiary butyl peroxide can be recovered from the distillate fraction by extraction with ethylene glycol (e.g., in a countercurrent ethylene glycol extraction tower) to provide a ditertiary butyl peroxide product of any desired degree of purity.

Purified propylene oxide is recovered from an impure propylene oxide feedstock contaminated with more than 50 ppm of six carbon atom hydrocarbon impurities by a solvent extraction process wherein:an impure propylene oxide feedstock is charged to a liquid/liquid extraction zone and contacted therein with an extractant consisting essentially of water and a paraffinic hydrocarbon containing 8 to 10 carbon atoms, and resolved therein into a raffinate consisting essentially of an aqueous solution of propylene oxide and into an extract comprising the paraffinic hydrocarbon and the 6 carbon atom impurities initially present in the propylene oxide feedstock.

A blood pump (26) includes a stator assembly including a fluid inlet (24) and a fluid outlet (26). A rotor assembly (120) includes an impeller (40) rotatable about an axis (44) to move fluid from the inlet (24) to the outlet (26). A motor (50) imparts rotation of the impeller (40) about the axis (44). The motor (50) includes a motor stator (52) fixed to the stator assembly (122), a motor rotor (54) fixed to the rotor assembly (120), and a radial motor gap (34) between the stator (52) and the rotor (54). The pump (20) is configured to direct a mixed blood flow from the fluid inlet (24) to the fluid outlet (26) and a wash flow through the motor gap (34).
