Shaped porous carbon products and processes for preparing these products are provided. The shaped porous carbon products can be used, for example, as catalyst supports and adsorbents. Catalyst compositions including these shaped porous carbon products, processes of preparing the catalyst compositions, and various processes of using the shaped porous carbon products and catalyst compositions are also provided.

Shaped porous carbon products

Processes for producing propylene glycol are disclosed. The processes may comprise subjecting a polyol to a hydrogenolysis reaction, thus producing propylene glycol and a product stream including an unreacted polyol and at least one unwanted compound. The process may include subjecting the product stream to a process that removes at least a portion of the at least one unwanted compound, thus producing a cleaned product stream, and subjecting the cleaned product stream to the hydrogenolysis reaction. Systems for implementing such processes are also described.

Processes for producing propylene glycol

A process is described for making a product mixture including isobutene, propylene, 1-butene, 2-butene, 2-methyl-1-butene and 2-methyl-2-butene from a mixture of acetic acid and propionic and through reaction in the presence of a source of hydrogen and of a mixed oxide catalyst, for example, a ZnZrOmixed oxide catalyst. A variety of commercially valuable products may be made in turn from the various C, Cand Cconstituents of the product mixture.

Renewable olefins from a mixture of acetic acid and propionic acid

A process is described for producing an isohexide wherein an hexitol or a combination of hexitols is continuously dehydrated in the presence of an acid catalyst under vacuum using a thin film evaporator.
