Filed:

Mar 17, 2009

Appl. No.:

12/381800

Inventors:

Richard J. Wilcox - West Caldwell NJ, US
Sanjeev Ram - Berkeley Heights NJ, US
Ajay Gami - East Brunswick NJ, US
Robert Brummer - Wharton NJ, US
Joseph Romeo - West Paterson NJ, US

Assignee:

Lummus Technology Inc. - Bloomfield NJ

International Classification:

C07C 5/32

US Classification:

585910, 585911, 585440

Abstract:

A method and system for providing heat to a chemical conversion process is advantageously employed in the production of olefin by the catalytic dehydrogenation of a corresponding hydrocarbon. The catalytic dehydrogenation process employs diluent steam operating at a steam to oil ratio which can be 1. 0 or below and relatively low steam superheater furnace temperature. The process and system are advantageously employed for the production of styrene by the catalytic dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene.

Appl. No.:

6/184576

Inventors:

Joseph Romeo - Bergenfield NJ

Assignee:

Lever Brothers Company - New York NY

International Classification:

C11D 754

US Classification:

252 95

Abstract:

The premature release of chlorine from chlorine-releasing bleaching agents in a particulate detergent, caused by the action on such a bleaching agent by some other component in the detergent, is prevented by compacting and granulating a mixture of said other component, preferably with additional constituents which do not have the chlorine-releasing effect, and then mixing those granules with the chlorine-releasing bleaching agent and other appropriate detergent constituents. The resulting novel detergent is a mixture of the thus-produced granules with particles of the said other appropriate detergent constituents.

Appl. No.:

7/292296

Inventors:

Joseph Romeo - Bergenfield NJ
Anthony A. Rapisarda - Elmhurst NY

Assignee:

Lever Brothers Company, Division of Conopco, Inc. - New York NY

International Classification:

C11D 306
C11D 716
C11D 1100

US Classification:

252135

Abstract:

Compositions suitable for use as detergents comprise a non-silicate-coated alkali metal phosphate salt hydrated to at least about 50% by weight, and an inorganic salt selected from alkali metal carbonates and sulfates. The compositions for use in, e. g. dishwashing, have improved solubility and dispersion characteristics.

Jose A. Lopez - Palisades Park NJ

Assignee:

Lever Brothers Company - New York NY

International Classification:

C11D 700

US Classification:

252135

Abstract:

The present invention relates to a powder detergent composition of improved solubility and methods of making them. The composition comprises a silicate free alkaline blend consisting essentially of about 10-60% builder, about 0. 6-6% surfactant. about 20-50% alkaline agent and 0-70% filler; and an admixture of said blend with about 10-30% of solid alkali metal silicate and a chlorine donor providing about 0. 4-1. 5% available chlorine, the pH of the resulting finished product being about 10. 4 or greater at about a 0. 25% product use concentration.
