Abstract: In a reduced crude conversion the catalyst is regenerated with mixture of oxygen-enriched gas and H.sub.2 O either as steam or preferably as water to provide additional expansion and facilitate fluidization, while converting coke on catalyst to CO and H.sub.2 with minimum CO.sub.2 formation. The CO can be combined with hydrogen to produce methane, methanol or Fischer-Tropsch liquid hydrocarbons or can be passed through the reduced crude conversion operation as lift gas, or as cooling medium or subjected to water-gas shift to produce additional H.sub.2.

Abstract: Disclosed is a new partial capping synthesis wherein resinous mixtures containing controlled amounts of phenolic hydroxyl and/or mercapto functionality, and aliphatic hydroxyl functionality are synthesized. Such synthesis comprises providing one or more resins which in total contain aliphatic primary and/or secondary hydroxyl functionality and oxirane functionality. A single resin or blend of resins may provide the requisite functionality. The one or more resins then are reacted with a carboxyl-functional capping agent bearing phenolic hydroxyl functionality and/or mercapto functionality. This reaction is conducted under reaction conditions and for a time such that the carboxyl functionality of the capping agent selectively reacts with the oxirane functionality of the one or more resins to produce a resinous product containing aliphatic hydroxyl functionality and containing phenolic hydroxyl functionality and/or mercapto functionality.
