More particularly, novel caged, or encapsulated, metal oxide catalysts and processes utilizing such catalysts to convert alkanes to alcohols and/or ethers and to convert alcohols and/or ethers to alkenes are provided. | 04-08-2010 |
20100331582 | Process and Catalyst for Converting Alkanes - Methods and catalysts for producing alcohols, ethers, and/or alkenes from alkanes are provided. More particularly, novel caged, or encapsulated, metal oxide catalysts and processes utilizing such catalysts to convert alkanes to alcohols and/or ethers and to convert alcohols and/or ethers to alkenes are provided. | 12-30-2010 |
20110180424 | WATER PURIFICATION USING CONVEYOR SWEEP - Process and apparatus to remove colloids and nitrogen compounds from contaminated water by coagulating the colloids and separating them from the water. The solids are floated by sparging and then the floating solids are swept from the surface of the water into an exit port using a conveyor from which downwardly depending flaps skim or near the surface, thus sweeping the floating floc into the exit port. | 07-28-2011 |
20120247974 | PROCESS FOR SEWAGE WATER PURIFICATION - Process and apparatus to remove colloids and nitrogen compounds from contaminated water by coagulating the colloids and separating them from the water. The water is then continuously oxidized with chlorine electrolytically to destroy the nitrogen compounds. | 10-04-2012 |
20140311992 | PROCESS FOR SEWAGE WATER PURIFICATION - Process and apparatus to remove colloids and nitrogen compounds from contaminated water by coagulating the colloids and separating them from the water. The water is then continuously oxidized with chlorine electrolytically to destroy the nitrogen compounds. | 10-23-2014 |
20140319078 | PROCESS AND SYSTEM FOR REMOVING UREA FROM AN AQUEOUS SOLUTION - A process for removing urea from an aqueous solution is disclosed herein, the process comprises the steps of: feeding an aqueous solution comprising urea into a mix tank; feeding hydrogen peroxide into the mix tank; feeding at least one soluble catalyst into the mix tank separately from the hydrogen peroxide feed; mixing the aqueous solution comprising urea, hydrogen peroxide, and the at least one soluble catalyst in the mix tank, forming a reactant mixture; and oxidizing the urea in the reactant mixture yielding CO | 10-30-2014 |
20140346056 | PROCESS AND SYSTEM FOR REMOVAL OF NAPHTHENIC ACID FROM AN AQUEOUS SOLUTION - The present disclosure provides a process for removing naphthenic acid and/or naphthenic compounds from an aqueous solution. The process comprises one or more of the steps of: (a) feeding an aqueous solution comprising a constituent selected from the group consisting of naphthenic aldehyde, naphthenic alcohol, naphthenic acid, and combinations thereof, into a mix tank; (b) feeding an oxidizing agent into the mix tank forming a reactant mixture; (c) mixing the reactant mixture in the mix tank; (d) coagulating the reactant mixture with a polyvalent metallic electrode forming metallic naphthenate particles; (e) flocculating the metallic naphthenate particles forming floc; (f) sparging to float the floc to the surface of the aqueous solution; and (g) removing the floc from the aqueous solution. A system for removing naphthenic acid and/or naphthenic compounds from an aqueous solution is also disclosed herein. | 11-27-2014 |
20140364656 | METHOD OF PRODUCING ALCOHOLS - A method of making alcohols involves forming of alcohol esters from liquid alkane halides and a solution of metallic salts of organic acids to produce gaseous alcohol esters for reaction with magnesium or metal hydroxides to form the alcohol and the metal salt of the organic acids. In an improvement method liquid phase alcohol esters instead of gaseous alcohol esters are produced from liquid alkane halides and a solution of metal salts of organic acids whose alkane esters are less soluble in water than that of the alkane halide and treating of the alcohol ester formed with magnesium or metal hydroxides to form the alcohol and the metal salt of the organic acids. | 12-11-2014 |
