View page
US Patent:
20120309610, Dec 6, 2012
Filed:
Jun 4, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/487987
Inventors:
Michael P. Harold - Houston TX, US
Pranit Metkar - Houston TX, US
Assignee:
UNIVERSITY OF HOUSTON SYSTEM - Houston TX
International Classification:
B01J 35/02
B01J 29/04
B01J 35/04
B01J 37/08
B01J 23/72
US Classification:
502 74, 502100, 502345, 502 60
Abstract:
A method for controlling NOx emissions, in certain instances from diesel or fixed position combustion engines. More specifically a method for forming emission control catalyst structures for fuel combustion, a method of producing the catalyst, and a method of operating the catalyst to control emissions.

Low Pressure, High Temperature Process For Forming 2,5-Furandicarboxylic Acid Dialkyl Ester

View page
US Patent:
20190031633, Jan 31, 2019
Filed:
Jul 21, 2016
Appl. No.:
15/742946
Inventors:
- Wilmington DE, US
Pranit S. Metkar - Wilmington DE, US
Ronnie Ozer - Arden DE, US
International Classification:
C07D 307/68
Abstract:
Processes for preparing a dialkyl ester of 2,5-furan dicarboxylic acid are disclosed. The processes comprise contacting 2,5-furan dicarboxylic acid with excess alcohol and, optionally, a catalyst at a pressure in the range of between 1 bar and 21 bar and a temperature in the range of from 65 C. to 325 C. to form a vapor reaction product comprising an ester of 2,5-furan dicarboxylic acid, the alcohol and water; and distilling the vapor reaction product at a pressure in the range of from 0 bar to 3.5 bar at a temperature in the range of from 38 C. to 204 C. to separate the water and alcohol from the ester of 2,5-furan dicarboxylic acid.

US Patent:
20180312764, Nov 1, 2018
Filed:
Apr 24, 2018
Appl. No.:
15/961651
Inventors:
- Houston TX, US
Dan D. Lindsey - Houston TX, US
Barbara Kimmich - Houston TX, US
Justin E. Turner - Conroe TX, US
Nicholas Bruschi - Houston TX, US
Ha H. Nguyen - Houston TX, US

Assignee:
Lyondell Chemical Technology, L.P. - Houston TX
International Classification:
C10G 45/08
C07C 15/46
C07C 5/56
C07D 303/04
C07D 301/08
B01J 27/051
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a method including subjecting an organic stream comprising at least one oxygenate to hydrotreatment, whereby a hydrotreatment product comprising ethylbenzene is produced, wherein the organic stream is a product of a process for the production of propylene oxide; and separating an ethylbenzene product stream from the hydrotreatment product, to yield a residual stream.

Process For The Production Of Furfural

View page
US Patent:
20150152074, Jun 4, 2015
Filed:
Feb 11, 2015
Appl. No.:
14/619611
Inventors:
- Wilmington DE, US
PAUL JOSEPH FAGAN - WILMINGTON DE, US
STUART B. FERGUSSON - KINGSTON, CA
KEITH W. HUTCHENSON - LINCOLN UNIVERSITY PA, US
PRANIT S. METKAR - WILMINGTON DE, US
RONNIE OZER - Arden DE, US
CARMO JOSEPH PEREIRA - SILVER SPRING MD, US
BHUMA RAJAGOPALAN - WILMINGTON DE, US
SOURAV KUMAR SENGUPTA - WILMINGTON DE, US
ERIC J. TILL - NEWTOWN SQUARE PA, US
International Classification:
C07D 307/50
Abstract:
Furfural is produced by contacting a feedstock solution containing Csugar and/or Csugar with a solid acid catalyst using reactive distillation. Both high yield and high conversion are obtained, without production of insoluble char in the reaction vessel. Degradation of furfural is minimized by its low residence time in contact with the solid acid catalyst. Higher catalyst lifetime can be achieved because the catalyst is continually washed with the refluxing aqueous solution and not sitting in high-boiling byproducts like humins, which are known to be deleterious to catalyst lifetime.
