Abstract: Apparatus and a method for the desalination of a liquid are described. In particular the apparatus and method are suitable for the desalination of water so as to provide a means for supplying potable water from an impure source. The described desalination device (1) comprises a water engine (3) and a reverse osmosis unit (4). The liquid to be desalinated is directed to the hydraulic rams (10, 11) of a water engine (3). Thus when located within a body of water, the operation of the water engine (3) increases the pressure of the liquid to a sufficient level that desalination can take place within the reverse osmosis unit (4). The desalination device (1) is particularly suited for incorporation with a body of water that exhibits tides since this provides a renewable source of energy for the operation of the water engine (3).

Abstract: A process is disclosed for producing alpha-methylstyrene, acetone, and phenol wherein the amount of alpha-methylstyrene produced may be controlled by selectively converting a portion of the cumene hydroperoxide to dimethyl phenyl carbinol, the hydrated form of alpha-methylstyrene. The dimethyl phenyl carbinol thus produced will lead to increased production of alpha-methylstyrene upon dehydration in the acid cleavage unit of the phenol plant. By controlling the fraction of the cumene hydroperoxide reduced to dimethyl phenyl carbinol, the amount of alpha-methylstyrene produced in the plant can be continuously set to meet the demand of the market for alpha-methylstyrene. Also disclosed is a non-acidic catalyst for reduction of cumene hydroperoxide.
