Abstract: A supported Lewis acid catalyst such as antimony V on a fluorine-treated moisture-free activated carbon support is provided, as are fluorination processes using such a catalyst.
Abstract: A process for the preparation of 142 is provided, wherein 1130 is fluorinated in the gas phase in the presence of a catalyst which is a supported or unsupported fluorinated salt of one or more of chromium, iron, niobium, nickel, antimony, tin, tantalum or titanium. 142 is a known foam blowing agent.
Abstract: Improvements in the retardation of water evaporation from benzyl alcohol containing water-in-oil emulsions by incorporating in the organic phase thereof an effective amount of a terpene.
Abstract: A process for the fluorination of 1230za is provided, wherein 1230za is contacted with HF in the gas phase in the presence of an aluminum fluoride or chromium-based fluorination catalyst under conditions sufficient to produce a reaction mixture containing 1233zd, 1234ze and 245fa. 245fa is a known foam blowing agent and refrigerant, while 1233zd and 1234ze are known intermediates useful for preparing 245fa.
Abstract: Natural or synthetic wax dissolved in the continuous organic phase of an water-in-oil emulsion retards evaporation of water from a dispersed aqueous phase. An in situ prepared equilibrium mixture of benzyl alcohol, formic acid and benzyl formate emulsified with oleic hydroxyethyl imidazoline or similar oil soluble emulsifying agent is thickened with hydroxypropyl cellulose or hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and contains 0.1 to 1.0% by weight paraffin wax with a melting point of 47.degree. to 65.degree. C. Wax dissolved in the organic phase retards evaporation of water, and formic acid or ammonia which are very volatile in comparison with benzyl alcohol forming the major component of the organic phase. A petroleum distillate is used to pre-wet a hydroxypropyl cellulose thickener and dissolve the wax.
