  • Publication number: 20130131379
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for preparing carboxylic acids, in particular mono- and dicarboxylic acids, by oxidative cleavage of a vicinal diol. According to the invention, said method consists of reacting a vicinal diol of formula I: where: p is an integer comprised between 1 and 6; R1 and R2 are, separately: an alkyl or hydroxyl group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms; a —(CH2)n—C02M group where n, which can be identical or different in R1 and R2, is an integer comprised between 1 and 11 and M is a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms or an alkaline cation; or R1 and R2 jointly form an alkylene —(CH2)m- group where m is an integer comprised between 2 and 10, preferably between 2 and 6; with industrial-grade sodium hypochlorite (or bleach), in the absence of an organic solvent and without adding a catalyst, preferably at room temperature. The invention can be used for recycling natural vegetable oils.

  • Patent number: 8048308
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for separating, in an aqueous medium, at least one actinide element from one or more lanthanide elements by using at least one molecule which sequesters the said actinide element to be separated and membrane filtration, the said process successively comprising: a) a step of bringing at least one molecule which sequesters the said actinide element in contact with the aqueous medium, the said molecule not being retained in the non-complexed state by the said membrane and being capable of forming a complex with the actinide element to be separated, comprising the said element and at least two of the said sequestering molecules, which complex is capable of being retained by the membrane; b) a step of passing the aqueous medium over the membrane in order to form a permeate on one side, comprising an aqueous effluent depleted of the said actinide element, and a retentate comprising the said complex.

  • Publication number: 20090185965
    Abstract: A method for separating zirconium and hafnium from a mixture of ZrCl4 and HfCl4 containing 3 wt. % or less of Hf based on Zr+Hf, the method includes the following steps: 1) hydrolyzing a mixture of ZrCl4 and HfCl4 in an aqueous solution of strong inorganic acid, so as to form an aqueous solution having 7 to 12 moles of acid per liter; 2) passing the solution obtained at step 1) in an anion exchanging resin; 3) optionally eluting a fraction of said aqueous solution having 7 to 12 moles of acid per liter, enriched in hafnium; 4) removing the resin of the acid solution containing Zr and Hf; 5) passing in the resin an aqueous solution to detach the zirconium compounds fixed to the resin, and recovering a zirconium-enriched fraction.

  • Patent number: 6626469
    Abstract: A reusable coupling adaptable to the ends of a tube, the coupling including a nipple (2) having a toothed end (7) designed to be inserted into the tube (1), its inside diameter corresponding approximately to the inside diameter of the tube, the nipple having an annular surface external to the tube. A peripheral ferrule (4) is mounted around the tube (1) and imprisons the tube in engagement with the toothed part (7) of the nipple (2). The ferrule (4) includes an inward annulus (5) which fits into a peripheral groove (6) on the surface of the nipple, while a seal (8) is provided within the groove to be contacted by the annulus (5). The ferrule (4) is radially compressible and is immobilized and fixed to the periphery of the tube (1) by a connection assembly made up of two connectable parts (9, 10) mounted around the end of the tube on either side of the ferrule, and which compresses the ferrule after it has been fitted on the tube.
