Abstract: This specification discloses an insoluble resin-metal compound complex, the method for its preparation, and its use in carrying out a catalyzed reaction. The complex is a weak base anion exchange resin which has been contacted with a solution of a coordination compound having at least two ligands connected to at least one central metal atom to bond chemically the resin to the metal atom by replacement of at least one of the ligands of the coordination compound by a functional group of the weak base anion exchange resin. The complex can be used as a catalyst for hydrogenation, carbon monoxide insertion, polymerization, isomerization, vinyl ester exchange, and ethylene oxidation reactions, among others.

Abstract: Conventionally H.sub.2 S laden gases are amine scrubbed, the H.sub.2 S sprung from the amine, converted to sulfur in the Claus process and the tail gas from the Claus process scrubbed in a tail gas facility such as Beavon-Stretford, Shell SCOT or IFP. The instant disclosure eliminates the aforementioned scrubbing processes by reducing SO.sub.2 in Claus tail gas with a hydrogen rich gas to H.sub.2 S and condensing water out of this reduced product. The dehydrated product having a lower sulfur level is compressed and admixed with other refinery gases in a refinery fuel gas mixing vessel and used as fuel in the refinery.

Abstract: The use of titania, zirconia, coprecipitated titania-zirconia or caustic on an inert solid inorganic support such as alumina or titania-zirconia to decompose formic acid in very dilute aqueous solutions thereof.

Abstract: The conversion of lower olefins, such as ethylene or propylene, in effective contact with HZSM-11 catalyst at elevated temperatures to produce a product having a significant isobutane content.

Abstract: Modifying a heat balanced operating fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) system to utilize a platinum group metal modified cracking catalyst, whereby increasing the heat generated in the exothermic regeneration of coked catalyst, and to provide a regenerated catalyst heat exchange cooler to permit adjustment of cracking conditions independent of the extra heat produced in the regeneration of catalyst.
