Introduction Selective ammoxidation of paraffins into corresponding nitriles is of a prime practical significance as it could add to the sources for synthesis of a number of valuable organic products currently produced from oil. On the whole these processes seem to be more promising for commercial synthesis than partial oxidation of paraffins, as nitriles are more stable than corresponding oxy products and a higher yield of the desirable product may potentially be achieved.

Abstract Three-phase slurry bubble column reactors have been used extensively in a number of chemical, petrochemical, and biochemical process engineering applications. For the success of these operations and their large scale industrial exploitation, it is essential that their transport and chemical characteristics be adequately understood on a mechanistic basis so that appropriate design criteria and optimum operating conditions can be established. It is the purpose of this review to present such available knowledge in relation to chemical catalytic operations. The mass transfer characteristics, catalytic activity, and mixing patterns of different phases necessitate a detailed understanding of the hydrodynamic behavior and catalyst dispersion in slurry bubble column reactors. The current status of these aspects is presented, discussed, and assessed in this review. Chemical and biochemical reactions are exothermic in nature and hence efficient heat removal devices must be installed in the reactor to prese...

Abstract A tremendous number of new catalytic chemical processes have been established and commercialized in Japan in recent years [l, 21. Table 1 shows typical Japanese-made technologies and processes from 1957, about which time the petrochemical industry started in Japan. In those days almost all processes adopted were either fully licensed from foreign companies in Western Europe and the U.S. or completed in Japan as a practical technology using basic and original ones discovered by the foreign companies. In 18 years, from 1957 to 1974, when the Japanese petrochemical industry matured and rapidly magnified its scale, 22 new technologies and processes were accomplished in Japan; however, some of them are not intrinsically Japanese for the reason already mentioned—they derived from foreign companies—and some others were only the first in Japan but not the first in the world. The next 17 years (1975–1992), which included two oil embargoes and were regarded as the time the industry entered the age of a low...

Abstract The increasing supply of heavy crude oils is a matter of serious concern for the petroleum industry. In order to satisfy the changing pattern of product demand, significant investments in refining conversion processes will be necessary to profitably utilize these heavy crude oils. Although the most efficient and economical solution to this problem will depend to a large extent on individual country and company situations, the most promising technologies will likely involve the conversion of vacuum bottom residual oils, asphalt from deasphalting processes, and superheavy crude oils into useful light and middle distillate products.

Abstract Different aspects concerning the process of direct methane conversion to oxygen-containing products developed during more than half a century have been considered in previous reviews [1–3]. In particular, Gesser et al. [13 paid most attention to the homogeneous stages in methane conversion, while Foster [2] and Pitchai and Klier [3] examined the effect of different catalysts on methanol and formaldehyde formation. At present the main product of the homogeneous methane oxidation process with oxygen is shown to be methanol formed according to a chain-branching mechanism. In the presence of homogeneous initiators [4] (benzene, 2,2,4- trimethylpentane, etc.) or heterogeneous catalysts [2,3,5,6], formaldehyde is formed together with CH30H. However, the yield of the desirable products is low and does not exceed 8–10%. Charged atomic oxygen forms are considered to take part in the process of catalytic methane oxidation.

Abstract The hydrogenolysis of esters to alcohols is a reaction between esters and hydrogen which selectively splits a C-0 bond adjacent to a carbonyl group (1). A well-known large-scale industrial process based on this reaction the production of fatty alcohols from natural fatty acid esters-has been operated commercially for more than 50 years. Several processes which include the hydrogenolysis of an ester have been proposed for the manufacture of basic chemicals such as methanol and ethanol. Furthermore, there has been continuous interest over the past two decades in replacing the existing, energy-intensive processes for the production of ethylene glycol and 1,4-butanedioI by more cost-effective routes involving ester hydrogenolysis. While particular aspects of the literature on hydrogenolysis of esters have been reviewed already [1–3], the objective of the present work is to give a more general summary with special emphasis on the present or possible industrial applications of ester hydrogenolysis.

Abstract Photochemistry is recognized to be important for various physicochemical processes in the atmosphere, such as formation of the ozone layer and smogs, degradation of waste substances, etc. [1]. However, up to the present the emphasis in atmospheric photochemistry has been mainly on the study of photochemical reactions that occur with molecules directly excited by absorption of light quanta. However, the major components and impurities of the earth's atmosphere (such as nitrogen, oxygen, water, carbon dioxide, methane, methane halides, etc.) are totally transparent to most solar radiation. Electronically excited states of these molecules are formed only upon absorption of vacuum ultraviolet light quanta with energy hv ≥ 5 eV (i.e., with wavelength λ ≤ 200 nm). Only a small portion of the energy of solar light is found in this spectral region. In other words, most of the energy of the solar flux cannot participate in such direct photochemical reactions.

Abstract Methanol is one of the basic chemicals which is manufactured at an annual rate of over 10 million tons. Plant capacity for methanol rises and can be greatly increased eventually when using methanol as a fuel. One of the potential future uses of methanol is as a peaking fuel in coal gasification combined cycle power stations (e.g., in integrated gasification combined cycle, IGCC). In this application, methanol would be produced from the CO-rich gas during periods of low power demand. This methanol would be burned, if necessary, as an auxiliary fuel in combined-cycles gas turbines during periods of peak power demand. Methanol is a clean-burning fuel with versatile applications. As a combustion fuel, it provides extremely low emissions. Methanol can also be used as a primary transportation fuel or a fuel additive.
