Assignee:
BP Corporation North America Inc. - Houston TX
International Classification:
C07C 51/42
US Classification:
562487, 562486
Abstract:
Impure aromatic carboxylic acids such as are obtained by liquid phase oxidation of feed materials comprising aromatic compounds with substituent groups oxidizable to carboxylic acid groups, or comprising aromatic carboxylic acid and one or more aromatic carbonyl impurities that form hydrogenated species more soluble in aqueous solvents or with less color or color-forming tendencies than the aromatic carbonyl impurity, are purified to an aromatic carboxylic acid product with lower levels of impurities by a process comprising contacting an aqueous solution comprising the impure aromatic carboxylic acid with hydrogen at elevated temperature and pressure with an attrition-resistance, acid stable catalyst composition comprising at least one hydrogenation catalyst metal and a support comprising relatively high surface area silicon carbide.

Propylation Of Toluene With A High Surface Area, Zinc-Modified, Crystalline Silica Molecular Sieve
Richard E. DeSimone - Lisle IL Muin S. Haddad - Naperville IL
Assignee:
Amoco Corporation - Chicago IL
International Classification:
C07C 268
US Classification:
585467
Abstract:
Described are catalyst compositions comprising a high surface area, zinc-modified, crystalline silica molecular sieve, essentially free of aluminum, which has been incorporated into an inorganic matrix; said compositions are useful for hydrocarbon conversion, particularly the propylation of toluene in which they exhibit a very high paraselectivity while making a product containing a high isopropyltoluene/n-propyl-toluene isomer ratio. These catalyst compositions are made from an organic base, a templating material, a zinc ion-affording compound, and an oxide of silicon.
