摘要:
An improved process for conducting an etherification reaction has been discovered. The process employs a macroporous strong-acid, cation-exchange resin catalyst prepared at a temperature of about 120.degree. C. or higher with a reduced amount of divinylbenzene crosslinker. The etherification catalysts produced in the invention display equivalent or superior catalytic activity than conventional catalysts and are less expensive to produce than conventional catalysts due to reduced amounts of crosslinker.
摘要:
A method for removing dissolved contaminants from solution using a surface-activated crystalline titanium oxide product having a high adsorptive capacity and a high rate of adsorption with respect to dissolved contaminants, in particular, arsenate and arsenite. Preferably, the titanium oxide product includes crystalline anatase having primary crystallite diameters in the range of 1-30 nm. The surface-activated titanium oxide is combined with other filter media to further improve the removal of dissolved contaminants.

The invention concerns preparation of porous copolymer beads by a seeded polymerization process employing gel copolymer seed particles. The process comprises initially providing a plurality of gel-type copolymer seed particles prepared by polymerization of at least one first monovinylidene monomer and a first cross-linking monomer. A second monomer mixture comprising at least one second monovinylidene monomer, a second cross-linking monomer, and a phase-separating diluent is thereafter imbibed by the seed particles and polymerized therein. The process is characterized by selecting the first monovinylidene monomers such that the phase-separating diluent and second monovinylidene monomers are capable of being imbibed by the seed particles in an amount sufficient to form a porous copolymer. The porous copolymer beads produced have stable polymeric structures and good physical properties that render them useful in preparing ion-exchange resins and polymeric adsorbents.

An improved process for the recovery of precious metal values is disclosed. By this process precious metals in the form of anionic complexes are contacted with a weak-base anion exchange resin capable of complexing with the anionic complex. Such weak-base anion exchange resins contain weak-base functionalities derived from linear or cyclic polyaminoalkylene amines which have more than 1 amine moiety and at least 3 carbon atoms in a 1,X-alkylene moiety or moieties separating at least 1 amine moiety from a second amine moiety (i.e., X is an integer greater than 2).

Use a modified, amine-functionalized anion exchange resin as a catalyst to produce a bishalohydrin ether and then dehydrohalogenate the bishalohydrin ether with an aqueous inorganic hydroxide mixture to yield a liquid epoxy resin.
摘要:
Seeded cation-exchange resin beads are particularly susceptible to oxidative degradation which results in the leaching of organic carbon fragments. The leachability of organic carbon fragments of molecular weights greater than 1000 g/mol is reduced to less than 800 ppm by effectively crosslinking the copolymers that comprise the seeded cation-exchange resin beads. Crosslinking can be achieved either during sulfonation by increasing sulfone bridge formation or before sulfonation by either alkylene bridge formation or by incorporation and subsequent activation of a crosslinkable functionality in the copolymer that forms the seed in the seeded polymer bead process.
摘要:
A method for processing effluent from a chloromethylation of a vinyl aromatic polymer wherein the effluent comprises catalyst and volatile organics, and wherein the method comprising the steps of: 1) deactivating at least a portion of the catalyst; 2) distilling the effluent; 3) adding caustic to the effluent; and 4) distilling the effluent.
摘要:
A process is provided for preparing ion-exchange resin particles of relatively uniform size by partial functionalization of non-uniform copolymer beads with ion-exchange groups. The non-uniform copolymer beads are preferably functionalized in a manner such that the ion-exchange groups are substituted at available sites which are most accessible to diffusion by functionalizing agents. Due to the size difference between individual copolymer particles, a greater proportion of available sites is functionalized in a small particle when compared to that of a large particle. Due to the greater proportion of ion-exchange groups present in a small particle, the small particle swells relatively more than a larger particle. The result is effectively a narrowing of the size distribution for the partially functionalized resin particles. The relatively uniform resin particles obtained by the process have performance advantages, such as reduced pressure drops, improved exchange kinetics, rinse efficiencies, and separation efficiencies when compared to fully functionalize ion-exchange resins that are non-uniform in particle size.
