Methods And Assemblies For Liquid-Phase Reactions

US Patent:
2011006, Mar 10, 2011
Filed:
Mar 4, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/717800
Inventors:
John D. Myers - Baton Rouge LA, US
Assignee:
DOW GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES INC. - Midland MI
International Classification:
B01D 53/14, B01D 47/14, C07C 19/03
US Classification:
570258, 95223, 95199, 261 75, 2611141, 96234, 422187
Abstract:
Methods and assemblies for improving the reaction kinetics of, conserving reactants utilized in, and/or producing a more pure reaction product of, liquid-phase reactions that involve volatile reactants and products are provided. The methods and assemblies herein provide for a feed of reaction liquid to two or more absorption zones, wherein the temperature and/or feed rate of the liquid is independently adjusted prior to introduction into at least one of the two or more absorption zones. More particularly, the temperature and feed rate of the liquid as delivered to each absorption zone can be adjusted independently to optimize the absorption of at least a portion of any gaseous reactants and byproducts from the gaseous product stream and/or to optimize reaction zone conditions. Reaction kinetics may thus be improved, or substantially maintained.

High Selectivity Catalysts For The Conversion Of Carbon Tetrachloride To Chloroform

US Patent:
2007022, Sep 27, 2007
Filed:
May 6, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/579189
Inventors:
Michael Holbrook - Baton Rouge LA, US
John Myers - Baton Rouge LA, US
International Classification:
B01J 23/42, B01J 21/04, B01J 23/46, C07C 17/00, C07C 19/04
US Classification:
570261000, 502339000
Abstract:
A process for the hydrodechlorination of carbon tetrachloride to produce chloroform utilizes a supported catalyst having a bimetallic components of platinum and iridium. The bimetallic catalyst may be promoted with small amounts of a third metal, such as tin, titanium, germanium, rhenium, silicon, lead, phosphorus, arsenic, antimony, bismuth or mixtures thereof. By-product production is decreased and duration of catalyst activity is improved by the use of the catalyst of this invention.
