Publication number: 20020039989Abstract: Novel synthetic zeolite compositions of extremely small particle sizes that have increased loading capability, and process technology for producing such compositions are described. So far as is presently known, it has never been possible to form such compositions heretofore. The process technology involves, inter alia, contacting the zeolite cake formed in its production with a specified type of treating agent and then subjecting the treated zeolite to physical subdivision.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 13, 2001Publication date: April 4, 2002Inventors: Patrick C. Hu, Conrad J. Langlois, Dixie E. Goins, Joseph E. Coury

Patent number: 6231659Abstract: The sizing agents are mixtures of alkenyl succinic anhydrides in which the alkenyl groups have in the range of about 6 to about 40 carbon atoms, and in which at least 97 wt % of the alkenyl groups are bifurcated on the alpha carbon atom into two branches neither of which has less than two carbon atoms. Other characteristics of the mixture are that (1) 20-50% of the bifurcated alkenyl groups have only one methyl or methylene substituent and no other side chain, and the remainder of such bifurcated groups have two straight chain branches (no side chain) emanating from the alpha carbon atom, (2) at least 3 alkenyl succinic anhydrides that differ in the number of alkenyl carbon atoms are each present in at least 5 wt % in the mixture, (3) no more than about 50 wt % of the alkenyl succinic anhydrides is any given alkenyl succinic anhydride or mixture of isomers having the same number of carbon atoms in their alkenyl groups, (4) the average number of carbon atoms in the alkenyl groups is ca.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 1999Date of Patent: May 15, 2001Assignee: Albemarle CorporationInventors: Patrick C.

Patent number: 5105001Abstract: Novel substituted phosphazene compounds are disclosed having the formula ##STR1## wherein w, x, y and z are integers the sum of which is from 3 to 6 with the proviso that w is at least 1 but equal to or less than (w+x+y+z)-1, x is from 1 to 5, y and z are from 0 to 2;R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are the same or different and are C.sub.1 to C.sub.6 linear or branched alkyl;R.sub.3 is an unsubstituted or substituted aryl and n is 0 or an integer from 2 to 6; Q is --O--, ##STR2## --NR-- or --S--; Ar is ##STR3## R' and R" are the same or different and are C.sub.1 to C.sub.6 linear or branched alkyl, with the proviso that R" can also be hydrogen, wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are the same or different C.sub.1 to C.sub.4 linear or branched alkyl group and n is 0 or an integer from 2 to 6. These compounds display good solubilities in both organic and aqueous systems. Accordingly, they act as antioxidants in adhesive, sealant and coating compositions.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 1990Date of Patent: April 14, 1992Assignee: Ethyl CorporationInventors: Dixie E. Goins, Hsueh M. Li
