Abstract: The systems and methods are directed to identity resolution service (IRS) which may be used to enable accurate and faster conversion contribution analysis across multiple channels. IRS may be responsible for keeping track of relationships between user identifiers and for determining a user canonical identifier given a set of input identifiers and identity mappings. Users may utilize multiple devices and browsers to view advertisements and perform actions that result in conversion events. Users may be anonymous on one device but logged in and recognized on a different device and/or browser. The canonical identifier associated with a user may be used to obtain a full set of conversion events generated by the user and the full set of ad traffic to which the user was exposed. Conversion attribution analysis using the full set of conversion events and full set of ad traffic will result in accurate conversion rates for advertisers.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for obtaining at least one aromatic amine from a liquid mixture comprising water and the at least one aromatic amine by extracting with at least one nitroaromatic in an extraction column (1) to form an essentially water-comprising raffinate stream and an extract stream comprising the at least one nitroaromatic and the aromatic amine. The extraction column (1) is divided by a dividing wall (3) into two regions (5, 7), and, in the case of an amount of liquid for separation which is less than a minimum cross sectional loading of the entire extraction column (1), the liquid mixture to be separated is fed only to one of the regions (5, 7) of the extraction column (1) divided by the dividing wall (3). The invention further relates to a process for preparing an aromatic amine and to an apparatus for separating a liquid mixture comprising water and at least one aromatic amine by extracting with at least one nitroaromatic, comprising an extraction column (1).

Abstract: An industrial preparation of aldehydes and/or alcohols from olefins of more than 3 carbon atoms by a catalytic hydroformylation of the olefin reactant at a pressure of from 50 to 1000 bar and a temperature of from 50 to 180.degree. C. in the presence of an uncomplexed rhodium catalyst homogeneously dissolved in the reaction medium. The catalytic activity of the rhodium is maintained, first by extracting it from the initially discharged reaction mixture by means of an aqueous solution of a nitrogen-containing complexing agent such as sulfonated or carboxylated pyridines, quinolines or the like. In a recycle of the complexed rhodium to be reused in the hydroformylation reaction, the aqueous rhodium-containing extract is fed to a precarbonylation stage where it subjected to a required precarbonylation in the presence of an essentially water-insoluble organic liquid and in the presence of carbon monoxide, synthesis gas or another gas mixture containing carbon monoxide at from 50 to 1000 bar and from 50 to 180.
