Abstract: A process for purifying an acetoxylation mixture is disclosed. Allyl acetate, water, acetic acid, and from 0.1 to 10 wt.% allyl diacetate are contacted in the vapor phase with a solid acidic catalyst under conditions effective to decompose the allyl diacetate and generate an intermediate stream comprising allyl acetate, water, acetic acid, and acrolein. Acrolein is then removed from the intermediate stream, preferably by distillation, to give an allyl acetate-containing product stream. Usually, this product stream is then hydrolyzed to produce allyl alcohol. The invention includes processes in which propylene first reacts with oxygen and acetic acid in the presence of a noble metal catalyst to generate the acetoxylation mixture.

Abstract: A water cooling tower having an improved water collection system. The cooling tower has an outer shell, legs, and one or more layers of fill material, through which the water to be cooled moves vertically downward. The water is distributed across the upper surface of the fill material by piping and nozzles. A fan underlying the fill material moves air vertically upward through the fill material. The water collection system, which is positioned below the fill material, has upper and lower troughs which receive water flowing vertically downward through the fill material. Preferably, the lower troughs are positioned beneath the spaces between upper troughs, to catch water falling between the upper troughs. A number of hinged baffles close off the spaces between lower troughs, but rotate upward in response to upward air flow and open the spaces between the lower troughs.
