US Classification:

558321, 502302

Abstract:

A catalyst composition comprising molybdenum, vanadium, antimony, niobium, lithium, at least one element select from the group consisting of titanium, tin, germanium, zirconium, hafnium and at least one lanthanide selected from the group consisting of lanthanum, cerium, praseodymium, neodymium, samarium, europium, gadolinium, terbium, dysprosium, holmium, erbium, thulium, ytterbium, and lutetium. Such catalyst compositions are effective for the gas-phase conversion of propane to acrylonitrile and isobutane to methacrylonitrile (via ammoxidation).

Filed:

Sep 10, 2012

Appl. No.:

13/608231

Inventors:

Kevin M. Haynes - Lombard IL, US
Eric C. Moore - Lake in the Hills IL, US

International Classification:

G06F 1/26

US Classification:

700286

Abstract:

A loop powered process instrument comprises a signal processing circuit measuring a process variable and developing a measurement signal representing the process variable. A control system, for connection to a power supply using a two-wire process loop, controls current on the loop in accordance with the measurement signal. The control system implements a diagnostic function comprising selectively controlling loop current at first and second select current levels and measuring terminal voltage at each of the first and second select current levels to determine if power supply voltage is at a select voltage level.

International Classification:

C08F 1000
C08F 444
C07C 900
C07C 224

US Classification:

5263487

Abstract:

Catalysts and processes are described to make low molecular weight, essentially terminally-unsaturated, viscous poly(1-olefin) or copoly(1-olefin) having a high terminal vinylidine content from a feed stock containing one or more 1-olefin and other volatile hydrocarbon liquids using a Ziegler catalyst made from a Group IVb metallocene and an aluminoxane cocatalyst, particularly bis(cyclopentadienyl) and bis(indenyl) titanium(IV), zirconium(IV) or hafnium(IV) compounds and methylaluminoxane. A particularly useful feed stock is a refinery stream containing 1-olefins and isobutylene which is used to make polyisobutylene. The reactive, essentially terminally-unsaturated, viscous poly(1-olefin) or copoly(1-olefin) can be functionalized to make a number of products useful as sealants, petroleum additives, adhesives, and the like by reacting the terminal vinylidine linkage with an aromatic, an epoxidation agent, a silylation agent, maleic anhydride, carbon monoxide and hydrogen, hydrogen, a halogen, a hydrohalogen, and the like.

International Classification:

C07C11948
C07C 402
C07C 264

US Classification:

558357

Abstract:

Magnesium-aluminum, hydrotalcite-type clay compositions containing large, pillaring organic, inorganic, and mixed organic/inorganic anions have been made. Heating of the mixed large organic/inorganic anion hydrotalcite-type clays can lead to substantially complete removal of the organic anions and a route to making large, inorganic-anion, hydrotalcite-type clays with more open galleries. These materials are shown to catalyze hydrocarbon conversion reactions.

C07D24110

US Classification:

546340

Abstract:

A regiospecific, catalyzed process for preparing acyl derivatives of aromatic nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds in which the keto group is selectively added ortho to the nitrogen atom on the aromatic ring. In the presence of a ruthenium carbonyl compound, carbon monoxide and an olefin, the aromatic heterocyclic compound which has an unsubstituted carbon atom ortho to at least one of the heterocyclic atoms adds the acyl group essentially completely in ortho position.

US Classification:

502202

Abstract:

The invention is a solid state preparation of copper aluminum borate catalyst comprising: dry mixing solid reagents comprising suitable precursors of copper oxide (CuO), aluminum oxide (Al. sub. 2 O. sub. 3) and boron oxide (B. sub. 2 O. sub. 3) with a solid binder which aids compaction of the solid reagents, is essentially inert to said reagents, and burns away upon calcination, said dry mixing resulting in formation of a superficially dry copper aluminum borate precursor; compacting the dry precursor; and calcining the precursor at a sufficiently high temperature to form crystalline copper aluminum borate.
