Abstract: There is provided a material management system for continuous cold in-place recycling of pavement, the system comprising a crusher vehicle for crushing pavement on the ground surface, the crusher vehicle comprising a first conveyor for evacuating crushed pavement material rearwardly from the crusher vehicle; a paver vehicle located rearwardly of the crusher vehicle for repaving the ground surface using the crushed pavement material; and a material feeder located between the crusher vehicle and the paver vehicle, the material feeder comprising: a container for receiving the crushed pavement material; and a second conveyor for moving the crushed pavement material rearwardly from the front container end towards the rear container end of the container in order to enable the paver vehicle to repave the ground surface using the crushed pavement material. There is also provided a method for performing cold in-place recycling of pavement and a method for manufacturing the material feeder.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes processes for the epimerization of a cyclohexene comprising the steps of providing to a reactor a first isomer of a 1-(2-alkyl-3-cyclohexen-1-yl)-alkanone compound according to Formula I wherein R1 ad R2 are each independently C1-C4 alkyl, and R3, R4, R5, R6, R7, and R8 are each independently selected from the group consisting of H and C1-C4 alkyl; and epimerizing the first isomer of the 1-(2-alkyl-3-cyclohexen-1-yl)-alkanone with a metal alkoxide base to form a second isomer of the 1-(2-alkyl-3-cyclohexen-1-yl)-alkanone.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes processes for producing cyclohexenes using Lewis acidic ionic liquids comprising the steps of providing to a reactor an ?,?-unsaturated carbonyl dienophile, providing to the reactor a 1,3-diene, providing a Lewis acidic ionic liquid to the reactor; and reacting the ?,?-unsaturated carbonyl dienophile with 1,3-diene to form a substituted cyclohexene product. The ?,?-unsaturated carbonyl dienophile can be mesityl oxide, the 1,3-diene can be piperylene; and the Lewis acidic ionic liquid can be AlCl3:[C2mim]Cl; AlCl3:[C8mim]Cl; or mixtures thereof.
