Patent number: 10137437Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing a supported catalyst, a catalyst which is obtainable using the method, and use thereof for the partial oxidation or ammoxidation of olefins, in particular for the oxidation of propene to acrolein, of isobutene to methacrolein, and/or the ammoxidation of propene to acrylonitrile. The method according to the invention includes the following steps: a) providing a solution in which precursor compounds of the catalytically active component are essentially completely dissolved in a suitable solvent; b) bringing the solution obtained in step a) into contact with a (chemically) inert, porous support having a specific surface of 1 to 500 m2/g; c) heat treatment of the material obtained in step b), in which the precursor compounds of the catalytically active component are converted to their oxides.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2014Date of Patent: November 27, 2018Assignee: Clariant CorpoationInventors: Valery Sokolovskii, David Michael Lowe, Deepti Machiraju, Hongyi C. Hou, Gerhard Mestl, Claus G. Lugmair, Aaron B. Miller, Anthony F. Volpe, Jr.

Patent number: 9205412Abstract: Ethylene glycol and propylene glycol may be made by hydrogenolysis of a polyol comprising the steps of reacting a polyol with hydrogen in the presence of a hydrogenolysis catalyst. The hydrogenolysis comprises nickel, one or more promoter, and one or more support. The promoter is selected from bismuth, silver, tin, antimony, gold, lead, thallium, cerium, lanthanum, and manganese. The support is selected from zirconia and carbon. A zirconia support comprises a zirconia textual promoter, which is selected from Cr, Mo, W, Nb, Ce, Ca, Mg, La, Pr, Nd, Al, and P. If the support comprises carbon, then the promoter is selected from bismuth and antimony. In another embodiment, if the support comprises carbon, then both the promoter is selected from bismuth and antimony, and the catalyst comprises copper. In another embodiment, the catalyst additionally comprises copper.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2013Date of Patent: December 8, 2015Assignee: CLARIANT CORPORATIONInventors: Aaron B. Miller, Malati Raghunath, Valery Sokolovskii, Claus G. Lugmair, Anthony F. Volpe, Jr., Wenqin Shen, Wayne Turbeville

Patent number: 4544307Abstract: In its preferred embodiment this jig is a rigid foam plastic casting specific to a particular type of workpiece. It enables accurate fastening of workpiece to external structure with flathead screws. Each such workpiece has a plurality of countersunk orifices of identical size and distribution pattern. Jig and workpiece are of general rectangular plan, the jig thick enough to allow for integral functional guide holes. Jig is fitted to workpiece and the associated two held against an external structure while pilot holes are drilled into the structure through the jig guide holes centered with respect to the workpiece orifices. Proper orientation of jig to workpiece is obtained and maintained by a plurality of truncated conical protuberances on the jig extending from one of its two major parallel surfaces. These protuberances are complementary in shape and distribution pattern to the countersunk orifices of the workpiece.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 1983Date of Patent: October 1, 1985Inventor: Aaron B.
