Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Process for the enhancement of the cycle life of a zinc-chromium based catalyst in the synthesis of 2-methylpyrazine." This invention relates to the enhancement of the cycle life of a zinc-chromium based catalyst used in the synthesis of 2-methylpyrazine by increasing the reaction temperature step-wise, starting from a low temperature, while monitoring the levels of total conversion and selectivity towards pyrazine. The catalyst can be regenerated after each cycle of use without substantial loss of activity.
Another notable patent is "Process for the preparation of a highly active and selective ammoxidation catalyst." This invention involves a process for the preparation of a highly active and selective ammoxidation catalyst of formula (VO).sub.2 P.sub.2 O.sub.7, TiO.sub.2 or (VO).sub.2 P.sub.2 O.sub.7, Al.sub.2 O.sub.3. The process comprises refluxing a vanadium source in the presence of alcohols, adding a source of phosphorous to form vanadyl pyrophosphate hydrate (VO).sub.2 H.sub.4 P.sub.2 O.sub.9 or (VO).sub.2 P.sub.2 O.sub.7.2H.sub.2 O, and physical mixing of (VO).sub.2 H.sub.4 P.sub.2 O.sub.9 with oxides selected from titania or alumina. The resultant mixture is then heated in the presence of air at a temperature in the range of 300-600°C for a period of 1 to 10 hours. This catalyst is used in the preparation of heteroaromatic nitrites.
