摘要:
A process is described for the removal of halogen residues from a reaction mixture containing 3,5-xylenol and halogen residues, produced via the heating of isophorone at a temperature of about 450.degree. C. to about 650.degree. C. in the presence of a homogeneous halogen-containing catalyst, said removal being accomplished by contacting the reaction mixture with a metal selected from the group consisting of zinc, iron, magnesium, cadmium, cobalt and nickel.
摘要:
Anhydrous organic solutions of alkali metal arylates are prepared by dissolving an alkali metal arylate or reacting an arylhydroxy compound with alkali metal hydroxide in a ketone immiscible or incompletely miscible with water at room temperature and removing the water from the solution, if any, by azeotropic distillation with reflux.
摘要:
THERE IS PROVIDED A NOVEL METHOD OF PURIFYING HEXACHLOROPHENE BY REMOVING THEREFROM UNREACTED TRICHLOROPHENOL. THE METHOD COMPRISES TREATING SOLUTIONS OF HEXACHLOROPHENE CONTAMINATED WITH TRICHLOROPHENOL OF THE PRINCIPAL PRODUCT, WITH MOLECULAR SIEVES OF PREDETERMINED PORE SIZE WHICH SELECTIVELY REMOVE THE TRICHLOROPHENOL.
摘要:
A method is described for the selective dealkylation of 4-tertiary-alkyl-2,5-xylenol while it is admixed with 6-tertiary-alkyl-2,4-xylenol by contacting the mixture of alkylated xylenols with a polymer-bound sulfonic acid catalyst at temperatures of 60.degree. C. or less and pressures of from about 0.5 to 5 atmospheres. The method is useful in separating 2,4-/2,5-xylenol mixtures.
摘要:
Phenol-, cyclohexanone-, and cyclohexylbenzene-containing mixtures are extractively distilled to provide an overhead of cyclohexanone substantially free of phenol and cyclohexylbenzene and a bottoms containing phenol and cyclohexylbenzene, substantially free of cyclohexanone by employing a nitrile solvent.
摘要:
Substantially pure tetramethylbiphenol may be recovered from a reaction product obtained by the oxidative coupling of xylenol by vaporizing the reaction product and subliming substantially pure tetramethylbiphenol from the vapor.
摘要:
Crude hydroquinone containing impurities is purified in a sublimation purification apparatus where the crude hydroquinone is introduced into a stirred and fluidized bed, a carrier gas which is inert to the hydroquinone is passed therethrough, and the temperature therein is kept at about 110.degree.-170.degree.C whereby crude hydroquinone is sublimed, and thereafter a mixed gas consisting of the sublimed vapor and the carrier gas is introduced into a condenser at a temperature at about 25.degree.-90.degree.C whereby the hydroquinone only is fractionally solidified. After the sublimation purification, hydroquinone of high purity can be collected.
摘要:
Crude 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane containing impurities such as 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane is purified by first dissolving the crude material in ethylene glycol and then adding a certain amount of water whereby the 2,2-bis(4hydroxyphenyl)propane is precipated and is then recovered by filtration or centrifigation.
