A process for the destruction of organic contaminants from wastewater streams and solid surfaces, including soil. The process comprises removing volatile organic compounds from the wastewater stream or surface by steam stripping and then contacting a stream comprising steam and the stripped organic compounds with a catalyst at an elevated temperature so as to convert the hydrocarbon portion of the organic compounds to a mixture of hydrogen and carbon dioxide.

Waste concentration and destruction process

A process for the destruction of organic wastes and ammonia from acrylonitrile plant wastewater, comprising contacting volatilized wastewater with a catalyst at an elevated temperature so as to convert volatile organic compounds and ammonia to a mixture comprising hydrogen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide which are separated and removed from the stream, yielding a purified aqueous stream, substantially free of organic compounds and ammonia.

Treatment process for acrylonitrile plant wastewater streams

A catalyst system for the conversion of synthesis gas in a single stage to liquid hydrocarbons comprises

Catalysts for the conversion of syn gas

Methanol is converted into alcohols containing at least two carbon atoms by reaction with hydrogen and/or carbon monoxide at elevated temperature and superatmospheric pressure in the presence, as catalyst, of (i) an oxide of Th and/or U and (ii) one or more alkali metals the latter being present in an amount of at least 1% by weight. Preferably the catalyst is free of hydrogenating metals. The methanol can be prepared by reaction of hydrogen and carbon monoxide in the presence of a methanol-forming catalyst.
