Abstract: The present invention relates to a silicon ether compound having general formula (I): wherein, R and R1-R10 groups, which may be Identical or different, represent hydrogen, halogen, C1-C20 linear or branched alkyl, C3-C20 cycloalkyl, C8-C20 aryl, C7-C20 alkaryl or C7-C20 aralkyl group, and two or more R groups can be linked to form saturated or unsaturated condensed ring structure which is optionally substituted by a group having the same meanings with that of R1, R and R1-R10 groups optionally contain one or more hetero-atoms replacing carbon atom, hydrogen atom or the both, said heteroatom is selected from the group consisting of nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, silicon, phosphorus and halogen atom, and A represents carbon atom or silicon atom. The present invention also relates to a method for the preparation of the silicon ether compounds of general formula (I) and a process for polymerization of olefins.

Abstract: A catalyst for selective hydrogenation of alkynes and dienes, its preparation process and application. The catalyst has an inorganic oxide support, a major active component palladium, and a Group IB metal promoter. The active components are uniformly distributed in the catalyst body within the thickness between the support surface and the depth of more than 300 &mgr;m. The catalyst of the present invention has high activity, high selectivity, ability to resist sulfur and arsenic poisoning. The catalyst is particularly applicable to C2-C3 fraction with any concentrations of hydrogen and CO.
