Processes are disclosed for recovery of hydrogen bromide from one or more alkyl bromide compounds by hydrolyzing the alkyl bromide compounds to hydrogen bromide and corresponding alcohols, and simultaneously separating at least the alcoholic products of hydrolysis from aliphatic monocarboxylic acid solvent component. Also disclosed are process for preparing aromatic carboxylic acids by the exothermic, liquid-phase oxidation of an aromatic feedstock compound wherein the energy produced by the exothermic oxidation is efficiently recovered, and uses of water produced during the preparation of aromatic carboxylic acids are efficiently integrated into the process.

Process for preparing aromatic carboxylic acids with efficient

An improved process for alkylating an alkylaromatic having at least one benzylic hydrogen atom with an olefinic compound comprising contacting the alkylaromatic under liquid phase conditions with an olefinic compound in the presence of at least one alkali metal activated by amine compound.

Alkylation of alkylaromatics promoted by amine compound

An improved process for alkylating an alkylaromatic having at least one benzylic hydrogen atom with an olefinic compound comprising contacting the alkylaromatic under liquid phase conditions with an olefinic compound in the presence of at least one alkali metal activated by sonication.
