Abstract: A process for obtaining higher aliphatic alcohols starting from aliphatic primary alcohols by condensation reactions is disclosed. Specifically, the process comprises a step in which an aliphatic primary alcohol is contacted in a homogeneous phase with a catalyst mixture comprising a transition metal, a base and an additive; specifically, this additive can be selected from the classes of compounds of the isoquinolines N-oxide, quinolines N-oxide, pyridines N-oxide, benzoquinones, naphthoquinones, or TEMPO. In particular, the process can be carried out by contacting said aliphatic primary alcohol with a catalyst of a recycled transition metal, with a freshly added base and with a recycled additive of the aforementioned type.

Abstract: A system monitors operation of a component in a hydraulic fracturing fleet. A sensor exposed to an external environment of the component is configured to detect external indicia of the operation of the component. Memory stores an artificial intelligence (AI) model, the AI model being trained to monitor the operation of the component in the system. One or more processors are operatively coupled to the memory and the sensor. The one or more processors are configured to obtain data of the external indicia detected with the sensor; input the obtained data into the AI model; detect, with the AI model and based on the input data of the external indicia, one of a plurality of predetermined states corresponding to the operation of the component; and perform a predetermined function based on the detected one of the plurality of predetermined states.

Abstract: Control methods are disclosed for continuous, unmodulated, multiple catalytic conversion step processes using at least two catalysts, a first catalyst and a second catalyst, that accommodate changes in the performance of each catalyst and the relative performances of the catalysts. In the methods, certain process parameters are used in a manner that is indicative of changes in catalyst performance, and the control methods provide for adjustment of at least one of: the absolute amount of catalytically active species and relative amounts of each of the first catalyst and second catalyst and at least one of the rate of feed or concentration of the raw material to the reaction zone.
