The catalyst efficiency of zinc carboxylate catalyst in the copolymerization of alkylene oxides with carbon dioxide to form polycarbonates has been increased by the addition of a small amount of certain diepoxides to the reaction.

Reduction of catalyst usage in epoxide/CO.sub.2 polymerization

Catalysts which are soluble in a variety of solvents are prepared by reacting zinc compounds with anhydrides in the presence of an alcohol or by reacting zinc salts with a monoester of a dicarboxylic acid. These catalysts can be added as a solution to a mixture of epoxides and carbon dioxide to prepare polyalkylene carbonates.

Soluble epoxide/carbon dioxide copolymerization catalysts

A process for the skeletal isomerization of olefins wherein the olefins are contacted with a catalyst comprising at least one alkaline earth oxide which has been treated with a halogen compound.

The evaporative casting of molten metals has been shown to produce castings having smooth surfaces without any sign of carbon deposits thereon by using a copolymer polycarbonate prepared from cyclohexene oxide, cyclopentene oxide, cycloheptene oxide, or isobutylene oxide and carbon dioxide.

Process for preparing polycarbonate copolymer foam suitable for lost

The evaporative casting of molten metals has been shown to produce castings having smooth surfaces without any sign of carbon deposits thereon by using a terpolymer polycarbonate prepared from cyclopentene oxide or cyclohexene oxide, ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, or butylene oxide, and carbon dioxide in making patterns for the lost foam casting process.

A two step hydrothermal process for the preparation of zeolite A from clinoptilolite by (1) heat treating a mixture of clinoptilolite in an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide and filtering the mixture followed by (2) reacting the filtrate with at least 75 percent of a stoichiometric amount of sodium aluminate to form and precipitate zeolite A from solution and recovering zeolite A.

Hydrogen is diffused through a palladium-containing membrane into an aqueous solution containing ions of a stabilizing nature and containing dissolved oxygen to form hydrogen peroxide. Some water is formed as a by-product. The hydrogen peroxide may be identified and/or recovered from said aqueous solution in an identification zone.
