Patent number: 6734332Abstract: An olefin product rich in cis- or trans-isomers can be produced by reacting the mixed olefin feedstock with an linear polyaromatic compound such as anthracene under heat, then separating the unreacted olefin enriched in cis-isomer. The remaining linear unreacted polyaromtic compound and the polyaromatic compound-olefin adduct can be heated to dissociate the adduct to linear polyaromatic compound and olefin stream enriched in trans-isomer.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2002Date of Patent: May 11, 2004Assignee: Shell Oil CompanyInventors: Lynn Henry Slaugh, Robert Lawrence Blackbourn, Laura Bridget Palmer, Julie Michelle Freelin

Patent number: 6127459Abstract: A water-compatible curing agent for epoxy resins is prepared by (a) reacting at least one polyamine having at least 3 active amine hydrogen atoms per molecule and at least one epoxy resin in an epoxy equivalent to polyamine mole ratio of from 0.9:1 to 1:10 to obtain an amine-terminated intermediate; (b) reacting the amine-terminated intermediate with from 0.5 to 25 weight percent, based on the amine-terminated intermediate, of an acid-terminated polyalkylene glycol to yield an amine-terminated curing agent. The amine-terminated intermediate can be capped with a monoepoxide in an amine hydrogen atoms to epoxy groups ratio of from about 1.5:1 to 30:1 prior to reaction with the acid-terminated polyalkylene glycol, or the amine-terminated curing agent produced following step (b) can be capped with a monoepoxide.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 1998Date of Patent: October 3, 2000Assignee: Shell Oil CompanyInventors: Charles J. Stark, deceased, Gayle Edward Back, Jimmy D. Elmore, Kalyan Ghosh, Pen-Chung Wang, Kailash Dangayach
