Patent number: 9440902Abstract: To provide a production method for suppressing the reduction in production rate of a carbonyl compound due to transferring a noble metal component into liquid phase. A method for producing a carbonyl compound, including: a reaction step of reacting a carbonylation raw material with CO in liquid phase including a solid catalyst having noble metal complex on a resin carrier containing quaternized nitrogen to produce a carbonyl compound; a distillation step of distilling a reaction product liquid to recover gas phase distillate including the carbonyl compound; and a circulation step of circulating a bottom product from the distillation to reaction step. After part of the bottom product contacts with an acidic cation-exchange resin to remove nitrogen compound, liquid having higher moisture concentration than the bottom product contacts with the resin to extract noble metal complex captured by oligomer adsorbing the resin, and the complex is returned to the reaction step.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2014Date of Patent: September 13, 2016Assignee: CHIYODA CORPORATIONInventors: Zhixiong You, Yoichi Umehara, Tetsuro Matsumura, Takeshi Minami

Patent number: 7888282Abstract: A catalyst for manufacturing synthesis gas has a carrier and a Group VIII metal carried by the carrier. The carrier contains a first ingredient, a second ingredient and a third ingredient. The first ingredient is an oxide of at least an alkaline earth metal selected from the group of magnesium, calcium, strontium and barium. The second ingredient is an oxide of at least an element selected from the group of scandium, yttrium and lanthanoids. The third ingredient is zirconia or a substance containing zirconia as principal ingredient and has a solid electrolytic property. The carrier may be formed by forming an overcoat film on a substrate by coating. Then, the overcoat film contains the above three ingredients. A catalyst according to the invention can remarkably reduce the dimensions of the reaction facility and improve the energy efficiency of the facility.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2004Date of Patent: February 15, 2011Assignee: Chiyoda CorporationInventors: Takeshi Minami, Kenichi Imagawa, Atsuro Nagumo, Tetsuro Matsumura
