A catalyst comprising the oxides of bismuth, molybdenum, iron and at least one element of the Group II metals as essential components and optionally oxides of cobalt, nickel, phosphorus, arsenic and an alkali metal.

Catalyst for the manufacture of acrylonitrile and methacrylonitrile

A process is provided for the oxydehydrogenation of saturated carboxylic acids or a lower alkyl ester thereof with oxygen in the presence of iron phosphorus oxide catalysts containing promoters selected from the group Ag, Al, B, Be, Cd, Co, Cu, Ga, Ge, In, Mn, Ni, Te, Th, Ti, Tl, U, V, Zn, Zr, rare earths and mixtures thereof.

Dehydrogenation of carboxylic acids with mixed metal phosphorus oxide

The present invention is a process for the oxidation of olefins to unsaturated aldehydes and acids using a catalyst containing antimony, iron, bismuth, molybdenum plus at least one of nickel, cobalt, magnesium, zinc, cadmium or calcium within certain compositional limits. These catalysts may also contain certain elements that further enhance the desirability of the oxidation process.

Process for the oxidation of olefins using catalysts contaning antimony

High yields of unsaturated nitriles are obtained by the oxidation of olefin-ammonia mixtures in the presence of a catalyst comprising the oxides of bismuth, molybdenum, iron and at least one element of the Group II metals as essential components, and optionally the oxides of cobalt, nickel, phosphorus, arsenic and an alkali metal.

Process for the manufacture of acrylonitrile and methacrylonitrile

A process is provided for the oxydehydrogenation of saturated carboxylic acids with oxygen in the presence of iron phosphorus oxide catalysts containing promoters selected from the group Ag, Al, B, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Ga, Ge, In, Mn, Ni, Te, Th, Ti, Tl, U, V, Zn, Zr, rare earths and mixtures thereof.

Mixed metal phosphorus oxide catalysts for the oxidative dehydrogenation

An alcohol composition suitable for mixing with gasoline comprises at least 30 percent by weight of methanol, the remainder of said composition comprising higher alcohols the distribution of which on a methanol-free basis is

Alcohol compositions for blending with gasoline

An alcohol mixture suitable for combining with gasoline is produced by contacting synthesis gas at elevated temperature and pressure with an oxide complex catalyst containing copper, thorium, an alkali metal and at least one other specific element.

Catalyst for the preparation of alcohols from synthesis gas

A catalyst composition containing alkali metal or alkaline earth metal uranate suitable for the conversion of mixtures of carbon monoxide and hydrogen has the formula

Catalyst composition for the preparation of alcohols

A ruthenium-free catalyst suitable for the conversion of carbon monoxide and hydrogen to alcohols, particularly methanol, comprises a mixture of metal oxides of the metals copper and beryllium where the atomic ratio of copper to beryllium is from about 0.01 to 1 to 20.0 to 1. A further metal M such as Th or Al may also be present, the atomic ratio of the metal M to beryllium being from about 0.1 to 1 to 7.5 to 1. The catalyst can be employed as convert carbon monoxide and hydrogen at elevated temperature and pressure, for example 100.degree. to 500.degree. C. and 150 to 4000 psig, to a product rich in alcohols and low in acids and hydrocarbons.

Copper beryllium-containing catalysts for the production of alcohols

Preparation of alcohols from synthesis gas

Monoolefins such as propylene and isobutylene are converted to the corresponding unsaturated nitriles, acrylonitrile and methacrylonitrile, respectively, by reacting a mixture of the olefin, ammonia, and a molecular oxygen-containing gas in the presence of a catalyst containing the oxides of iron, bismuth, molybdenum, and cobalt or nickel or both, and optionally an oxide of at least one element selected from the group consisting of the alkali metals, rare earth metals, tantalum and niobium, and optionally one or more of the oxides of the elements selected from the group consisting of phosphorus and arsenic.

A continuous process for the production of alkyl esters from carboxylic acids wherein an aqueous stream containing a first carboxylic acid, RCO.sub.2 H, is contacted with an organic stream comprising a carboxylic acid ester, R'CO.sub.2 R', so that the organic stream is enriched with RCO.sub.2 H. The RCO.sub.2 H enriched organic stream is separated from the aqueous stream and is contacted with a catalyst to obtain a second carboxylic acid, R'CO.sub.2 H, and a product carboxylic acid ester, RCO.sub.2 R'. The product ester, RCO.sub.2 R', is separated from the second acid, R'CO.sub.2 H, the reactant ester, R'CO.sub.2 R', and the first acid, RCO.sub.2 H, and the second acid, R'CO.sub.2 H, is esterified to obtain the reactant ester, R'CO.sub.2 R', which is recycled to the initial part of the process. In this process R is aliphatic or aromatic, R' is alkyl and R' is aliphatic with at least about 4 carbon atoms. When the reactant ester is a bifunctional polymer having both sulfonic acid and R' carboxylic acid ester pendant functional groups, this process may be performed in the absence of a catalyst.

Continuous process for the extraction and esterification of carboxylic

In an emulsifier system for the tertiary recovery of oil comprising a surfactant and an alcohol cosurfactant, improved results are achieved if the alcohol cosurfactant is composed of a mixture of alcohols having no more than 12 carbon atoms.
