  • Publication number: 20120149926
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for improving the overall selectivity of an EO process for converting ethylene to ethylene oxide utilizing a highly selective EO silver catalyst containing a rhenium promoter wherein following normal operation a chloride strip of the chloride on the surface of the catalyst is conducted in order to remove a portion of the chlorides on the surface of the catalyst. The chloride strip involves the addition of certain saturated hydrocarbons to the feed. Following the chloride strip, the catalyst is optionally re-optimized.

  • Publication number: 20120029233
    Abstract: Provided is an apparatus for recovering amines from amine-containing waste water generated in power stations, etc., and regenerating a cation exchange resin. The apparatus includes: a cation exchange resin layer capturing amines from amine-containing waste water and eluting the amines therefrom; a degassing tower degassing the eluted amines; a vacuum pump connected to the degassing tower; and a condensation and cooling tower condensing the degassed amines at a temperature of ?33° C. or lower, wherein the amines captured in the cation exchange resin layer are eluted by injecting a strong acidic solution, while the resin is regenerated, and the amines eluted by the strong acidic solution is subjected to vacuum degassing and then recovered. Provided also is a method for recovering amines and regenerating a cation exchange resin using the apparatus. The apparatus and method for recovering amines and regenerating a cation exchange resin improve the quality of effluent water from power stations, etc.
