Assignee:
CORN PRODUCTS DEVELOPMENT, INC. - Bridgewater NJ
International Classification:
C08B 37/00
US Classification:
5361231
Abstract:
This invention is directed to a process for making a thermally inhibited polysaccharide by dehydrating a polysaccharide to substantially anhydrous or anhydrous conditions and thermally inhibiting the substantially anhydrous or anhydrous polysaccharide at a temperature of 100° C. or greater for a time sufficient to inhibit the polysaccharide in an oxygen enriched concentration of at least 6.5 moles/m.

US Classification:
502304, 502439, 502349
Abstract:
A porous inorganic composite oxide containing oxides of aluminum and of cerium and/or zirconium, and, optionally, oxides of one or more dopants selected from transition metals, rare earths, and mixtures thereof, and having a specific surface area, in m/g, after calcining at 1100° C. for 5 hours, of ≧0.8235[Al]+11.157 and a total pore volume, in cm/g, after calcining at 900° C. for 2 hours, of ≧0.0097[Al]+0.0647, wherein [Al] is the amount of oxides of aluminum, expressed as pbw AlOper 100 pbw of the composite oxide; a catalyst containing one or more noble metals dispersed on the porous inorganic composite oxide; and a method for making the porous inorganic composite oxide.

International Classification:
B01J 21/04, B01J 21/08, B01J 21/06
US Classification:
502263, 502439, 502355
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a high surface area, high pore volume porous alumina, comprising: aluminum oxide, optionally, silicon oxide and aluminosilicates, and optionally one or more dopants, said alumina having a specific surface area of from about 100 to about 500 square meters per gram and a total pore volume after calcination at 900° C. for 2 hours of greater than or equal to 1.2 cubic centimeters per gram, wherein less than or equal to 15% of the total pore volume is contributed by pores having a diameter of less than 10 nm.

International Classification:
B01J 21/12, B01J 21/14
US Classification:
502263, 502439
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a method for making a sulfur tolerant alumina, that includes the steps of: forming aluminum hydrate from one or more water soluble aluminum salts, said salts each comprising an aluminum cation or aluminum anion and an oppositely charged counterion, in an aqueous medium, contacting the aluminum hydrate with a silica precursor in the aqueous medium and in the presence of counterions of the one or more aluminum salts, isolating silica precursor-contacted aluminum hydrate particles from the aqueous medium, and calcining the silica precursor-contacted aluminum hydrate particles to form particles of the sulfur tolerant alumina.

Abstract:
The present invention is concerned with an apparatus and method for continuous fluidization which comprises at least two cells connected by an aperture permitting the solid material to be introduced into the next downstream cell by fluidized horizontal flow, an isolated freeboard within each cell, at least two filter sticks contained within the isolated freeboard of each cell, and at least one blow back valve contained within each filter stick. The apparatus allows processing of materials that are typically difficult to fluidize by maintaining a substantially constant pressure difference between each isolated freeboard.
