Synthetic polyol ester fluids useful as lubricants or hydraulic fluids have been prepared by the esterification of ethylene-methyl formate telomerization products with polyols containing from two to about six hydroxyl groups.

Polyol ester functional fluids

A process for the catalytic combustion of an organic substrate which comprises intimately contacting the organic substrate, comprised of one or more components, with an adsorption/combustion catalyst bed comprised of a metal-containing zeolite wherein the metal is at least one of platinum palladium, copper nickel, chromium and manganese. After sufficient organic substrate is adsorbed by the catalyst bed the substrate is combusted by an adiabatic temperature rise of the catalyst bed. The process is particularly well-suited for the removal of an organic substrate from a dilute stream.

Novel combustion process for an organic substrate

Production of lower molecular weight poly(ethylene oxide) by controlled degradation of higher molecular weight poly(ethylene oxide) initiated by a free radical source in contact with oxygen.
