Inventor: EDEN JAMAL S
IPC: C07C67/00

Granted: 1992-04-14
Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE          A fluidizable catalyst composition is provided containing about 2% to about 8% by weight of copper (about 9% to about 17% by weight of copper salt), from about 0.2% to about 10% by weight of a rare earth metal salt(s), preferably the chloride salt(s), and from about 0.25% to about 2.3% by weight of an alkali metal salt(s), preferably the chloride salt(s), all weight percents based upon the total weight of the catalyst composition.  The metals are codeposited on a fluidizable, high surface area alumina support.  The weight of the alkali metal employed is not over 2.5% by weight (as the chloride) and the weight ratio of the rare earth metal salt(s) to the alkali metal salt(s) must be at least 0.8:1. Such catalyst compositions are extremely useful as fluid bed catalysts in the vapor phase oxychlorination reaction of ethylene, oxygen and hydrogen chloride to produce 1,2-dichloroethane (EDC).  The use of the catalysts results in improved, high percent ethylene efficiencies and high percent HCl conversions, and avoids operating problems caused by stickiness of the catalyst in the fluid bed.  A combination of copper chloride, potassium chloride and one or more of the rare earth chlorides on a fluidizable gamma alumina support, produces an excellent catalyst for a fluid bed ethylene oxychlorination process.

Abstract: FEEDER MODULE                     Abstract of the Disclosure A mailing system for metering batches of mixed weight mail.  The system includes a demand feed for singulating mailpieces, a weighing module for weighing the singulated mailpieces and determining the appropriate postage amount and a postage meter responsive to the weighing module for metering each singulated mailpiece with the appropriate postage amount.  A transport system sequentially transports singulated mailpieces from the feeder to the weighing module when the postage meter is set then stops during the weighing period.  The postage meter is set for the next sequential mailpiece only after weighing and metering are both completed.  In another embodiment a mechanical buffer is provided between the weighing module and the meter to allow overlapping of weighing time with meter setting time.  In still another embodiment the weighing time is reduced by a modified weighing algorithm which uses a reduced number of samples to determine the weight of a singulated mailpiece when the initial indication of weight is not close to a breakpoint in the postal rates.  In another embodiment of the invention the postage meter is modified to initiate common preliminary meter setting functions in response to the presence of a mailpiece on the weighing module and before the appropriate postage amount is determined.
