Abstract: The present invention provides a process for producing aromatic hydrocarbons at a sufficiently high yield, from a light hydrocarbon containing mainly hydrocarbons having 7 or fewer carbon atoms. The process of the present invention comprises bringing a feedstock containing mainly light hydrocarbons having 2 to 7 carbon atoms into contact with a catalyst composition comprising at least a gallium-containing crystalline aluminosilicate wherein a reaction step for converting the feedstock to aromatic hydrocarbons comprises at least two or more reaction layers formed of the catalyst composition, arranged in series and heating means arranged either between or in the reaction layers, the amount of the catalyst in the first stage reaction layer is 30 percent by volume or less of the total catalyst volume, and/or the yield of the aromatics in the product outflowing from the first reaction layer is from 0.5 to 30 percent by mass.

Abstract: A process for producing 4-methyl-2,3,5,6-tetrafluorobenzyl alcohol including the following steps: (A): a step for fluorinating 2,3,5,6-tetrachloroterephthaloyl dichloride, (B): a step for reducing the product obtained in step (A), (C): a step for chlorinating the product obtained in step (B), and Step (D): a step for hydrogenating the product obtained in step (C).

Abstract: A disc cartridge comprises a rotary member (25) that is held on first and second shutters in a disc storage unit in which a disc is stored with a first surface externally exposed from a disc opening and that is engaged with the first and second shutters so that the first and second shutters are opened and closed as the disc rotates within the disk storage unit, wherein the rotary member has a disc receiving portion comprising a contact area (25n) that comes into contact with the periphery of a second surface of the disc and receives the disc when the first and second shutters are closed state and a groove (25p) provided outside the contact area.
