Method for producing &#x3b1;-hydroxycarboxylic acid

A catalyst which is capable of decomposing and allaying particularly NO,among other harmful components in the diesel engine exhaust gas and, at the same time, depriving by combustion the exhaust gas of carbonaceous particulates, unburned hydrocarbons, and carbon monoxide and a method for purifying the diesel engine exhaust gas by the use of this catalyst are provided. The catalyst for the decomposition of the nitrogen oxides has a refractory three-dimensional structure coated with a copper-containing zirconia powder having deposited copper and the catalytically active oxide of at least one metal selected from the group consisting of tungsten, gallium, nickel, manganese, iron, and cobalt on a zirconia powder. The method for purifying the diesel engine exhaust gas uses the catalyst.

A nuclear halogenated aromatic compound possessing cyano groups is produced by a method using as a raw material an aromatic compound which possesses cyano groups and assumes a solid state at room temperature and subjecting the raw material to a procedure comprising a step of melting and transporting the compound by a means transport-melting, a step of vaporizing the compound, a step of mixing the compound with a halogen gas, and a step of causing the vapor of the compound to react with the halogen gas in vapor phase in the presence of a catalyst sequentially in the order mentioned, which comprises maintaining a content of a self-condensate of the aromatic compound possessing cyano groups which arise during the melting of the aromatic compound possessing cyano groups in a gas of the compound which reacts with the halogen gas to a level of not more than 2.5 mol % based on the compound. The catalyst used in the method is activated carbon such that the average pore radius thereof determined by the nitrogen adsorption method is not less than 12.2 .ANG. and the cumulative pore volume of the portion of the activated carbon having pore radiuses in the range of 5-100 .ANG. determined by the steam adsorption method is not less than 0.45 g/cc.

A method of producing naphthalenedicarboxylic acids by the oxidation of dialkyl-substituted naphthalene with a gas containing molecular oxygen in an organic solvent and in the presence of a catalyst comprising copper and bromine, or a catalyst comprising copper, bromine and at least one kind of element/compound selected from the group of consisting of amine compounds and heavy metallic elements which are vanadium, manganese, iron, nickel, palladium and cerium. And a method of producing diaryldicarboxylic acids by the oxidation of dialkyl-substituted diaryl compounds with a gas containing molecular oxygen in an organic solvent and in the presence of the same catalyst. These methods permit high yields of naphthalenedicarboxylic acids of high purity and of diaryldicarboxylic acids of high purity with the use of small amounts of catalyst.

Method of producing naphthalenedicarboxylic acids and diaryldicarboxylic

A method of preparing alkylnaphthalene compounds by reaction of a compound of naphthalene or monoalkylnaphthalene with olefin in the presence of a heteropoly acid catalyst. The method enables to produce highly valuable 2-monosubstituted alkylnaphthalene compounds or 2,6-disubstituted alkylnaphthalene compounds, in a high selectivity and a high yield. The used catalyst may be readily recovered and re-utilized.
