| Application No. | Application Title | Issue Date |
| 20110243821 | CARBON DIOXIDE REDUCTION The invention provides a process for reducing carbon dioxide comprising the step of exposing the carbon dioxide to a silane in the presence of an N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) or a carboxylate thereof or both, to produce a methylsilyl ether.... | 10/06/2011 |
| 20110201850 | METHOD OF MAKING ALKYLENE GLYCOLS Methods and systems for preparing alkylene glycols are described herein. The methods and systems incorporate the novel use of a high shear device to promote dispersion and solubility of alkylene oxides with water. The high shear device may allow for lower reaction tempe... | 08/18/2011 |
| 20110124927 | SELECTIVE PROCESS FOR CONVERSION OF SYNGAS TO ETHANOL The present invention provides processes for selectively producing ethanol from syngas. In some variations, the process comprises converting biomass-derived syngas to dimethyl ether, carbonylating the dimethyl ether to methyl acetate, hydrogenating the methyl acetate to... | 05/26/2011 |
| 20100056816 | SHAPED POROUS BODIES OF ALPHA-ALUMINA AND METHODS FOR THE PREPARATION THEREOF This invention relates to shaped porous bodies of alpha-alumina platelets which are useful as catalyst carriers, filters, membrane reactors, and preformed bodies for composites. This invention also relates to processes of making such shaped bodies and processes for modi... | 03/04/2010 |
| 20090131726 | Method of Making Mixed Metal Oxide Containing Sulfur The invention relates to a method of making Group 3 and Group 4 mixed metal oxide catalyst suitable for the decomposition of ethers to alkenes and alkanols. In an embodiment, it relates to a method of making a cerium-zirconium mixed metal oxide catalyst. In an embodimen... | 05/21/2009 |
| 20070299277 | FLUIDIZABLE CARBON CATALYSTS Disclosed are fluidizable catalysts comprising carbonized, polysulfonated vinylaromatic polymer particles. These carbonized polymer particles can be active catalysts by themselves or can act as supports for active catalyst components. These novel catalysts show excellen... | 12/27/2007 |
| 20050222470 | Process for preparing secondary alcohol A process for preparing a secondary alcohol which is characterized in adding a primary or a secondary amine in the reaction system in case that the secondary alcohol is prepared by hydrogenating in the presence of a noble metal, an epoxy derivative represented by the f... | 10/06/2005 |
| 20050177009 | Selective decomposition of ethers A process for selectively converting a dialkyl ether to the corresponding alkene and alkanol comprises contacting a feed containing at least one dialkyl ether with a catalyst comprising a mixed metal oxide which comprises at least one metal selected from Group 4 of the ... | 08/11/2005 |
| 20050054736 | Enantiomerically enriched 2-butanol The present invention relates to a process for preparing enantiomerically enriched 2-butanol and to its use. ... | 03/10/2005 |
