The present invention is directed to an enhanced process for separating dissolved and suspended solids from valuable or harmful liquids and more particularly to improving the operational aspects and separation efficiency of treating certain water miscible fluids including those used for oil and gas processing such as glycols, as well as automobile and aircraft fluids, that have become contaminated with dissolved and/or suspended solid matter.

A method of making alcohols involves forming of alcohol esters from liquid alkane halides and a solution of metallic salts of organic acids to produce gaseous alcohol esters for reaction with magnesium or metal hydroxides to form the alcohol and the metal salt of the organic acids. In an improvement method liquid phase alcohol esters instead of gaseous alcohol esters are produced from liquid alkane halides and a solution of metal salts of organic acids whose alkane esters are less soluble in water than that of the alkane halide and treating of the alcohol ester formed with magnesium or metal hydroxides to form the alcohol and the metal salt of the organic acids.
摘要:
A system and method for removing water from a liquid desiccant such as a glycol used to dry cooled air in order to restore the desiccant to a purity up to around 97% in a closed continuous flow process. Liquid desiccant can be sprayed into cooled air in a conditioner where it gains moisture. The wet or gained desiccant can be optionally preheated in an economizing heat exchanger and then routed into a concentrator. Desiccant pure to around 97% can be removed from the concentrator, passed through an economizing heat exchanger to provide the preheating and returned to the conditioner holding area. The concentrator can be heated by steam or other means such as natural gas to boil the wet desiccant causing mixed vapor to enter a vertical distillation column where most of the glycol condenses out on the column packing or plates and returns to the concentrator. Almost pure water vapor normally passes out of the top of the column and can be condensed in a water-cooled (or otherwise cooled) condenser and collected or discarded as liquid water. A portion of the water can be piped back into the top of the column as a reflux stream that scrubs the column packing or plates of desiccant. In this way, the desiccant can be purified to around 97%.

Bisphenol-A-bis(neopentylglycolphosphate) products of enhanced properties and processes for preparing them are described. One of the processes includes (a) mixing and reacting neopentyl glycol and bisphenol-A-bis(dichlorophosphate) in an inert polar organic solvent which (1) if mixed by itself with an equal volume of water at 25° C., will form a separate phase, (2) the solvent by itself will dissolve at least about 10 wt % of bisphenol-A-bis(neopentylglycolphosphate) at a temperature in the range of 25 to 50° C., and optionally but preferably (3) the solvent by itself can be completely vaporized at a temperature below about 180° C.; (b) washing bisphenol-A-bis(neopentylglycolphosphate) product formed in a) while dissolved in inert organic solvent having such characteristics at least once with an aqueous alkaline washing solution; and (c) optionally but preferably, recovering bisphenol-A-bis(neopentylglycolphosphate) product from organic solvent having such characteristics. The reaction of (a) can be conducted in an inert non-polar solvent if that solvent is replaced by an inert polar organic solvent satisfying (1) and (2), and preferably (3). A solvent satisfying (1), (2), and (3) is used when (c) is conducted by distilling or vaporizing off the solvent to recover the bisphenol-A-bis(neopentylglycolphosphate) product as such. The product has a low acid number or a high thermal stability, and usually both.

摘要:
To recover these noble products consisting of acrylic acid monomer, acrylic ester monomers and alcohols, a thermal cracking is performed in the absence of catalyst on a mixture of heavy distillation residues originating, on the one hand, from the manufacture of acrylic acid and, on the other hand, from the manufacture of the esters, the light fraction originating from the dissociation reactions is continuously vaporized during the cracking operation and this light fraction is distilled in order to recover, after condensation, the required products. The process according to the invention may consist in conducting the cracking of the mixture of heavy residues, optionally preheated, in a reactor (R1); feeding a distillation column (C1) with the light cracking products; recovering the required mixture of light noble products at the head of column (C1); recycling the flow recovered at the foot of column (C1) into the reactor (R1); recovering the heavy residue from the reactor (R1) and sending it to a removal treatment, if appropriate after having diluted it with a part of the flow recovered at the foot of column (C1), the remainder of the said flow being recycled into the reactor (R1).
