Patent number: 6479704Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved for the hydrogenation of an immiscible mixture of an organic reactant in water. The immiscible mixture can result from the generation of water by the hydrogenation reaction itself or, by the addition of, water to the reactant prior to contact with the catalyst. The improvement resides in effecting the hydrogenation reaction in a monolith catalytic reactor from 100 to 800 cpi, at a superficial velocity of from 0.1 to 2 m/second in the absence of a cosolvent for the immiscible mixture. In a preferred embodiment, the hydrogenation is carried out using a monolith support which has a polymer network/carbon coating onto which a transition metal is deposited.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2001Date of Patent: November 12, 2002Assignee: Air Products and Chemicals, Inc.Inventors: Andrew Francis Nordquist, Frederick Carl Wilhelm, Francis Joseph Waller, Reinaldo Mario Machado

Patent number: 5840978Abstract: This invention describes an integrated process for making ethylidene bisformamide in high yield wherein water, which is formed as a reaction by-product, is readily removed from the reaction product mixture without adversely affecting the efficiency of the overall process. The process contemplates isolating the reaction zone from the separation zone and comprises circulating a stream of formamide through a reaction zone containing a solid acidic catalyst and a separation zone; introducing acetaldehyde into the circulating stream of formamide to form a reaction mixture and contacting the reaction mixture with the solid acidic catalyst under reaction conditions sufficient to form a product mixture comprising ethylidene bisformamide and water; and separating water from the product mixture in the separation zone to form a water-depleted product mixture containing ethylidene bisformamide.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 1993Date of Patent: November 24, 1998Assignee: Air Products and Chemicals, Inc.Inventors: Andrew Francis Nordquist, Francis Peter Petrocelli, Robert Krantz Pinschmidt, Jr., Yin Pang Tsui
