  • Patent number: 6518469
    Abstract: A process for improved yields of heavier olefins from a substantially narrow range of lighter hydrocarbon feed stock containing olefins in a reaction distillation column comprising feeding a narrow range of hydrocarbon feed stock containing olefin into a reaction distillation column at a point between its bottom and top, contacting the olefins at the point of feed with a disproportionation catalyst in alternating arrangement with an isomerization catalyst or a mixture thereof and keeping the reaction mixture in a state of vapor-liquid equilibrium for concentrating the lighter reaction products in the vapor phase and the heavier reaction products in the liquid phase by maintaining a controlled pressure and temperature profile in the reactive distillation column and for reactively creating the desired heavier molecular weight olefins over the catalysts and collecting it as bottoms product and removing the lighter molecular weight olefins overhead from the top of the reactive distillation column.

  • Patent number: 5651496
    Abstract: A process for forming a single material from two layers of metal materials by heating and pressing the two metals together under pressure where a first metal has a relatively higher temperature of plastics formation state and the second metal has a relatively lower temperature of plastics formation state comprising the steps of cleaning the surface of the first and second metal, then electroplating a thin layer of the second metal onto the surface of the first metal, then heating the first metal and the thin layer of the second metal electroplated thereon to the temperature of plastics formation state in the second metal, and heating the second metal to the temperature of plastics formation state, and mechanically pressing the thin layer of the second metal on the first metal together with the second metal to form a single ductile material having two layers of said first and second metals.
