  • Addition polymerization process
    Patent number: 3954664
    Abstract: A polymerization catalyst consisting of a cupric salt, a copper chelating agent, and a cyanide salt is disclosed for polymerizing vinyl monomers. Such a catalyst system is less hazardous than are the persulfate and peroxide catalysts; the molecular weight of the polymer is higher under comparable polymerization conditions; and the catalyst is not consumed by certain impurities which react with the prior art catalyst.

  • Predominantly aliphatic hydrocarbon materials from carbonaceous solids
    Patent number: 3941820
    Abstract: Predominantly aliphatic hydrocarbon materials may be obtained from carbonaceous solids by a sequence of steps comprising gasifying the carbonaceous solids, combining the gasification product stream with an internal recycle stream, separating certain impurities from the combined stream followed by cooling to liquefy and separate the hydrocarbon materials while directly reacting the remaining carbon monoxide and hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst to produce the internal recycle stream.
