Gordon H. Lovett has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Heating and reaction system and method using recycle reactor
    Patent number: 6017460
    Abstract: Systems and methods for heating, reacting, and/or treating a stream containing oxidizable matter. Recycle reactor is used alone or in conjunction with plug-flow reactor. Density differences in the recycle reactor facilitate flow within the recycle reactor without substantial external heat exchange.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 7, 1996
    Date of Patent: January 25, 2000
    Assignee: Chematur Engineering AB
    Inventors: James M. Eller, Roy N. McBrayer, Jr., Richard D. Peacock, John S. Barber, Walter H. Stanton, Fred Applegath, Gordon H. Lovett, deceased

  • Water extractive distillation of olefinically unsaturated nitriles
    Patent number: 4404064
    Abstract: The invention provides a process for the recovery and purification of acrylonitrile from acetonitrile and relatively heavy impurities mixture by water extractive distillation and solvent stripping wherein the mixture is fed to approximately the middle of a recovery column, a primary solvent water stream is added to the top of this column and a secondary solvent water stream is added to a point intermediate the mixture feed point and the top of the recovery column; a recovery column bottoms stream comprising water, acetonitrile and acrolein is removed from the bottom of the column and is added to a stripper column; acetonitrile is removed from the upper portion of the stripper column, a primary solvent water stream is removed from the bottom of the stripper column and is sent to the top of the recovery column as the source of the added primary solvent water stream and a secondary solvent water stream is removed from an intermediate point of the solvent stripper and is sent to the recovery column as the source
