| 20140296577 | Method for Producing Phenol and/or Cyclohexanone - In a process for producing phenol and cyclohexanone a feed comprising cyclohexylbenzene hydroperoxide and water in an amount from 1 to 15,000 ppm, based upon total weight of feed, is contacted with a cleavage catalyst comprising an aluminosilicate of the FAU type under cleavage conditions effective to convert at least a portion of the cyclohexylbenzene hydroperoxide into phenol and cyclohexanone. | 10-02-2014 |
| 20140316098 | Process for Producing Phenol - In a process for producing phenol, a composition comprising an alkylaromatic compound is contacted with an oxygen-containing stream in the presence of an oxidation catalyst comprising a cyclic imide under oxidation conditions effective to oxidize 15 wt % or less of the alkylaromatic compound based upon the total weight of the composition and produce an oxidation product comprising unreacted alkylaromatic compound and alkylaromatic hydroperoxide in a molar ratio of 6:1 to 100:1. Thereafter, at least a portion of the oxidation product is contacted with an acidic molecular sieve catalyst under cleavage conditions effective to convert at least a portion of the alkylaromatic hydroperoxide into phenol and cyclohexanone. | 10-23-2014 |
| 20140371489 | Process for Producing Phenol - In a process for producing phenol, a feed comprising cyclohexylbenzene hydroperoxide is contacted with a cleavage catalyst comprising a fluorinated acidic resin under cleavage conditions effective to convert at least a portion of the cyclohexylbenzene hydroperoxide into phenol and cyclohexanone. | 12-18-2014 |
| 20150045587 | Process for Producing Phenol - A process for producing phenol is described in which a feed comprising cyclohexylbenzene hydroperoxide is contacted with a cleavage catalyst comprising an aluminosilicate zeolite of the FAU type having a unit cell size less than 24.50 Å under cleavage conditions effective to convert at least part of the cyclohexylbenzene hydroperoxide into phenol and cyclohexanone. | 02-12-2015 |
| 20150111302 | Method for Measuring Acid Strength in Reaction Medium - A method to determine the strength of an acid in a medium is disclosed. The method includes (I) providing multiple samples comprising trimethylphosphine oxide (TMPO), the acid, and the medium, wherein the multiple samples have different [H | 04-23-2015 |
| 20150148567 | MIXED METAL OXIDE CATALYSTS AND USE THEREOF - Disclosed herein are catalyst compositions useful in selective decomposition of organic oxygenates. A feed comprising an organic oxygenate may be contacted with a catalyst comprising (a) at least 0.1 wt % of an oxide of an element selected from Group 3 of the Periodic Table of Elements, wherein Group 3 includes the Lanthanide series; (b) at least 0.1 wt % of an oxide of an element selected from Group 6 of the Periodic Table of Elements; and (c) at least 0.1 wt % of an oxide of at least one element selected from Group 4 of the Periodic Table of Elements, wherein the wt % s are based upon the total combined weight of the oxides in (a) through (c) and excludes any other components. | 05-28-2015 |
| 20150158801 | Process for Producing Phenol - In a process for producing phenol, a feed comprising cyclohexylbenzene hydroperoxide is contacted with a cleavage catalyst comprising an acidic ionic liquid under cleavage conditions effective to cleave at least a portion of said cyclohexylbenzene hydroperoxide and produce a cleavage product stream comprising phenol and cyclohexanone. | 06-11-2015 |
| 20150251986 | Process for Producing Phenol - In a process for producing phenol and cyclohexanone, a cleavage feed containing greater than 40 wt % and no greater than 95 wt % cyclohexyl-1-phenyl-1-hydroperoxide, and at least 5 wt % and less than 60 wt % cyclohexylbenzene is mixed with at least phenol, cyclohexanone, water, and sulfuric acid to produce a cleavage reaction mixture containing from 15 wt % to 50 wt % phenol, from 15 wt % to 50 wt % cyclohexanone, from 1 wt % to 10 wt % cyclohexyl-1-phenyl-1-hydroperoxide, from 5 wt % to 60 wt % cyclohexylbenzene, from 0.1 wt % to 4 wt % water, and from 10 wppm to 1000 wppm sulfuric acid. The cleavage reaction mixture is then reacted at a temperature from 30° C. and to 70° C., and a pressure of at least 1 atmosphere for a time sufficient to convert at least 50% of said cyclohexyl-1-phenyl-1-hydroperoxide in said cleavage reaction mixture and produce a cleavage effluent containing phenol and cyclohexanone. | 09-10-2015 |
