  • Patent number: 8168844
    Abstract: Process for the catalytic hydrodealkylation alone of hydrocarbon compositions comprising C8-C13 alkylaromatic compounds mixed with C4-C10 aliphatic and cycloaliphatic products which, under the reaction conditions, undergo aromati-zation and subsequent hydrodealkylation, which comprises treating said hydrocarbon compositions in continuous and in the presence of hydrogen, with a catalyst consisting of a ZSM-5 zeolite, as such or in bound form, wherein the Si/Al molar ratio in the ZSM-5 ranges from 5 to 100, modified by means of the platinum-molybdenum couple, at a temperature ranging from 400 to 650° C., a pressure ranging from 2 to 4 MPa and H2/feedstock molar ratio ranging from 3 to 6. The presence of organic compounds containing heteroatoms such as sulphur, nitrogen or oxygen in the feedstock does not at all alter the performances of the catalyst according to the process object of the invention.

  • Patent number: 7148381
    Abstract: A process is described for the activation of zeolitic catalysts containing titanium having the formula: xTiO2(1-x)SiO2 wherein x ranges from 0.0001 to 0.4, which consists in treating said materials with a solution of an ammonium salt of a carboxylic acid and subsequently subjecting them to calcination. The catalysts thus treated have higher catalytic performances with respect to those not treated, in oxidation processes of organic substrates.

  • Patent number: 5122179
    Abstract: An H-28 machine is a glassware making machine having a plurality of glass making sections which rotate about a vertical axle. The complete process takes one revolution. Individual section mechanisms are controlled by electronically setable cams on a central timing drum and whenever two mechanisms sequentially occupy the same space in a section, machine speed is determined and the cam settings are checked to make certain that the mechanisms will not interfere.
