Abstract: Cette invention concerne des catalyseurs solides du type superacide sur support, constitués par des oxydes/oxyhydroxydes modifiés par des anions et provenant de métaux du groupe IV, tels que le hafnium (Hf), l'étain (Sn), le titane (Ti) ou le zirconium (Zr). Ces oxydes/oxyhydroxydes sont formés par précipitation sur des supports d'oxydes métalliques tels que l'alumine, la silice ou leurs mélanges ayant une surface spécifique initiale de 100 - 500 m2/gm et ensuite ils sont modifiés par des anions, par l'addition de molybdate (MoO¿4?), de phosphate (PO4), de séléniate (SeO4), de sulfate (SO4) ou de tungstate (WO4). Le catalyseur sur support contient en outre comme activateur, un métal courant tel que Co, Ni et Pd, ou un métal noble tel que Pt, Rh ou Ru, pour améliorer la résistance du catalyseur contre la désactivation. Ces catalyseurs solides du type superacide sur support sont préparés par la précipitation d'hydroxydes de métaux du groupe IV sur le support minéral, suivie du traitement anionique, de l'addition du métal activateur/stabilisant et de la calcination à 500 - 650 °C. Un catalyseur solide de type superacide sur support contient normalement 70 - 90 % en poids de matériau de support, 5 - 20 % en poids d'oxyde de métal de transition actif, 4 - 8 % de groupes anioniques et 0,05 - 5 % en poids du métal additionnel commun ou noble servant d'activateur/stabilisant. Le catalyseur résultant possède une surface spécifique finale élevée de 100 - 450 m?2¿/gm, et une activité catalytique élevée pour différentes réactions d'alkylation et de conversion d'hydrocarbures, comme par exemple l'alkylation de gaz de raffinerie pour produire une essence à haut indice d'octane, le cracking et l'hydroisomérisation de paraffines à chaînes longues et la conversion de déchets de plastique et de cires/huiles de faible valeur en différents produits chimiques et en huiles lubrifiantes à forte valeur ajoutée.

Abstract: The circuit employs the sparking plug (Zk) in the secondary circuit of the ignition coil (Tr) as an ion current probe. With every successful spark a signal is generated in the secondary circuit which depends upon the degree of ionisation in the spark gap. A resonant circuit formed by the primary circuit and a capacitor (C) is controlled by a regulator (1) so as to provide bipolar ignition current. The ion current signal is picked off by e.g. a series double Zener diode circuit (4), demodulated and filtered (3) to produce e.g. a knock warning for retardation of the ignition without recourse to an acoustic knock detector.

Filed: 1997-08-05
Abstract: The method involves using a two-stage rectification in a double column (4), comprising a medium-pressure column (6) immediately above a high-pressure column (5). These sections have heat exchange connection (14). Air is first compressed and cleaned. Using separated products (17, 18, 29), the main heat exchanger (2) then cools it, before rectification (4). Nitrogen product (21) is taken from the high pressure column (5). A nitrogen gas fraction (20) from the double column (4) is heated, expanded and subjected to heat exchange with an oxygen-rich fluid (11, 28) from the lower region of the medium-pressure column (6). The nitrogen gas fraction (20) is thus condensed and oxygen-enriched fluid (11, 28) is vapourised. Condensate (26) formed by this indirect heat exchange (25) is introduced into the medium-pressure column (6). The method involves heating of the nitrogen gas fraction downstream of expansion, to a temperature intermediate to those at the hot and cold ends of the main heat exchanger (2). Also claimed is the corresponding process for nitrogen recovery from air.

Abstract: Greater efficiency in a water-alkaline emulsion cumene oxidation process
using a cascade of reactors is obtained by splitting the reactor cascade into 2 stages
with the first stage utilizing NH 4 NaCO 3  as the active carbonate in the stage
containing less than 18% by weight cumene hydroperoxide and using Na 2 CO 3  as
the active carbonate in the stage containing more than 18% by weight cumene
hydroperoxide. By directly injecting ammonia into a recycle stream organic acids
are efficiently neutralized. A counter current water wash of the second stage also
increases process efficiency by scrubbing out unwanted impurities. Control of pH
in the process improves efficiency and reduces impurity levels.
