Abstract: Crude isophorone is refined by contacting it with aqueous caustic followed by washing and fractional distillation.

Abstract: Ethanol is produced from acetic acid by esterifying the acetic acid with an olefin having at least 4 carbon atoms, hydrogenating the ester obtained into ethanol and a higher alcohol having at least 4 carbon atoms, removing the ethanol, dehydrating the higher alcohol back to the original olefin and recycling the olefin to esterify the acetic acid.

Abstract: Various substrates can be coated with cured liquid epoxy resin compositions using a modified two-package system by first painting the substrates with a catalyst having the formula Sn(CF.sub.3 SO.sub.3).sub.2 and then contacting the painted substrates with the resin composition. In this scheme considerable time can elapse between preparation of the painted substrates and their contacting of the resin composition.

Abstract: A novel catalyst comprising the elements Mo, V and Nb, and an oxidation process, is provided for oxidizing alpha-beta unsaturated aliphatic aldehydes in the vapor phase with molecular oxygen to produce the corresponding alpha-beta unsaturated carboxylic acid.

Abstract: Vinyl and vinylidene halide resins containing carboxyl or sulfonic acid functionalities can be formulated as stable, aqueous, colloidal dispersions by converting them to ionomers in a mixture of water-miscible base, water, organic water-miscible macromolecular compound, water-miscible organic solvent having an affinity for the resin and water-miscible organic co-solvent which is a poor solvent for the resins and a water-immiscible organic diluent, stripping the resultant colloidal dispersion to a total organic solvent content of about 0.2 to about 20% by volume and finally mixing the colloidal dispersion with an acrylic internally crosslinked rheology modifier.

Abstract: A novel catalyst comprising the elements Mo, V and Ti, and an oxidation process, is provided for oxidizing alpha beta unsaturated aliphatic aldehydes in the vapor phase with molecular oxygen to produce the corresponding alpha-beta unsaturated carboxylic acid.
