Abstract

The present invention relates in part to a method for slowing the polyphosphine ligand usage rate in a hydroformylation process. It has been discovered that when a target concentration of total polyphosphorous compounds comprising polyphosphine ligand and polydentate ligand degradation products is maintained in a reaction zone, the usage rate of the polyphosphine ligand may be reduced.

The Sup-BPP catalysts of the present disclosure include an inert support in the presence of an aluminoxane compound, where the aluminoxane compound functions as a binding agent. The Sup-BPP can be mixed with the support and the binder in an inert hydrocarbon. The slurry is then dried, either under reduced pressure or spray dried, to produce the supported Sup-BPP catalyst. The supported Sup-BPP catalyst can be used for ethylene/alpha-olefin co-polymerizations in a gas phase reactor.

Abstract

A method for processing hydrocarbons includes introducing a hydrocarbon feedstock into a treatment unit, the hydrocarbon feedstock includes used lubrication oil, wherein the used lubrication oil is derived from any one of Group I-V base oils as defined by the American Petroleum Institute. Then, treating the hydrocarbon feedstock to produce a treated hydrocarbon feedstock and separating the treated hydrocarbon feedstock in a first separation unit to obtain a hydrocarbon byproduct stream and a base oil. Then, upgrading the hydrocarbon byproduct stream to produce an upgraded hydrocarbon byproduct stream and blending the upgraded hydrocarbon stream with a fossil-based hydrocarbon feedstock to form a hydrocarbon blend. Additionally, introducing the hydrocarbon blend into a steam-cracking unit and cracking the hydrocarbon blend in the steam-cracking unit to obtain a cracked product including ethylene. Treating the hydrocarbon feedstock includes one or more of dewatering, defueling, de-asphalting, fractionation, and finishing.

The dry components can be blended together to form a dry mix, and the dry mix can be mixed with water to form an aqueous coating composition that can be applied by brushing or rolling. The coating is especially useful as a roof coating.

Abstract

3-(Methylamino)propane-1,2-diol (MAPD) and its homologs are potentially useful alkanolamine components in aqueous absorbent that is used in carbon dioxide recovery from gas streams. MAPD can be generated in situ in the process by reaction of 3-(dimethylamino)propane-1,2-diol with a primary or secondary amine. A side reaction of MAPD and carbon dioxide can form an oxazolidinone side product, but the oxazolidinone side product can be decomposed to recover the MAPD by contact with alkali metal hydroxide.

Abstract

Alkoxylations are performed by combining an alkylene oxide with a starter and a polyhedral borate catalyst. The polyhedral borate catalyst has the form [Cat+n12uvv]n-and/or [Cat+m10wzz]m-. The polyhedral borate catalysts are extremely active and therefore produce very high alkoxylation rates. When used to polymerize propylene oxide, the catalysts produce alkoxylated products that have high proportions of primary hydroxyl groups.

Abstract

A molecular vocabulary can be added to a tokenizer of a language model. The molecular vocabulary can include character strings as words representing atomic environments, explicit atomic positions, and forward-connecting positions based on a molecular database that includes data describing molecules and their properties. A molecular syntax can be defined for the tokenizer that represents each of the molecules as a respective molecular sentence made up of tuples corresponding to a quantity of atoms in a respective molecule and including words from the molecular vocabulary. The molecules can be tokenized according to the molecular vocabulary and the molecular syntax. The language model can be trained to perform property prediction for molecules or to identify molecules having targeted properties using the tokenized molecules and their properties. The trained language model can perform property prediction for a molecule not in the molecular database or identify molecules having the targeted properties.

A method of making a morphology-improved polyethylene powder, the method comprising: contacting ethylene with a reactive olefin prepolymer in a gas phase reactor to make a morphology-improved polyethylene powder via gas phase polymerization; wherein the reactive olefin prepolymer comprises a component that is a polyolefin and a component that is an active metallocene derivative of a spray-dried silica-supported metallocene catalyst; wherein the reactive olefin prepolymer has a prepolymer/catalyst weight/weight ratio from 10:1.0 to 50:1.0, wherein the prepolymer weight is the total weight of the reactive olefin prepolymer and the catalyst weight is the weight of the spray-dried silica-supported metallocene catalyst.

Abstract

Embodiments relate to a twin-screw extruder including two parallel screws, where each parallel screw includes a shaft, a plurality of threaded regions disposed along the length of the shaft. At least two of the threaded regions have different screw pitch, and each threaded region is defined by a ratio of screw pitch to screw diameter of 2.0 or less. There is also at least one non-threaded region disposed along the length of the shaft and adjacent at least one of the threaded regions, where the at least one non-threaded region comprise an uncovered shaft, a sleeve disposed over the shaft, or combination thereof. Further embodiments relate to processes of producing cellulose ether gel from a feed comprising water and cellulose derivatives by using the twin-screw extruder at a temperature below the thermal flocculation point to dissolve and swell the cellulose derivatives in the water to produce the cellulose ether gel.
