Abstract: A process disclosed for the separation, purification and recovery of an unsaturated hydrocarbon from its mixture with at least one other material using a facilitated transport liquid membrane system.

Abstract: A composition consisting essentially of a carbonaceous solid containing at least one carboxyl group is heated with subcritical liquid water at decarboxylation conditions including a temperature of at least about 300.degree. F. to substantially decarboxylate the solid, thereby producing a stream comprising a decarboxylated solid and water. The water is separated from the decarboxylated solid prior to liquefying the solid.

Abstract: Disclosed is a process for converting solid metal phenates to phenols and hydroxides of the metals of the phenates by treating the phenates with steam at a temperature from about 250.degree. C. to about 450.degree. C.

Abstract: Disclosed is a process for recovering phenols from phenol-containing streams having at least a sufficient amount of water. The stream is contacted with a metal composition comprised of one or more oxides and/or hydroxides of metals capable of forming a metal phenate with the phenols of the stream. The resulting metal phenates are separated from the stream and are treated with steam at a temperature from about 250.degree. C. to about 450.degree. C., thereby producing phenols, and hydroxides of the metals of the phenate.

Abstract: Process for improving properties of phenol-containing hydrocarbonaceous streams such as a coal liquid by contacting stream with (a) a multivalent metal composition selected from the group consisting of oxides and/or hydroxides of multivalent metals capable of forming hydroxy metal phenates with the phenols of the stream; and (b) one or more alkylating agents represented by the formula RX where R is a C.sub.1 to C.sub.18 group selected from the group consisting of alkyl, allyl, cycloalkyl, haloalkyl, benzyl, and arylalkyl, provided X is located on the alkyl portions of the alkylating agent and X is sulfate or a halide.

Abstract: Process for removing phenols from phenol-containing streams such as coal liquids by contacting the stream with a multivalent metal composition selected from the group consisting of oxides and/or hydroxides of one or more multivalent metals capable of forming a hydroxy metal phenate with the phenols of the stream; separating the hydroxy metal phenate from the treated stream; and heating the hydroxy metal phenate to its decomposition temperature, thereby forming phenols and oxides of the multivalent metal.

Abstract: An image developing material comprising particles, said particles including finely divided toner material and a minor proportion based on the weight of said toner material of dicarboxylic acid bis-amides.This invention relates in general to developing material and more particularly, to improved imaging materials, their manufacture and use.The formation and development of latent images on the surface of photoconductive materials is well known. The basic process as taught by C. F. Carlson in U.S. Pat. No. 2,297,691, involves placing a uniform electrostatic charge on a photoconductive insulating layer, exposing the layer to a light and shadow image to dissipate the charge on the areas of the layer exposed to the light and developing the resulting latent electrostatic image by depositing on the image a finely divided electroscopic material referred to in the art as "toner".

Abstract: An image developing material comprising particles, said particles including finely divided toner material and a minor proportion based on the weight of said toner material of primary and secondary amides of .omega.- and cis alkenoic acids.

Abstract: An improved process is given whereby an imaging surface is treated with compositions which include dicarboxylic acid bis-amides.

Abstract: An improved process is given whereby an imaging surface is treated with compositions which include substantially unbranched, primary and secondary amides of .omega. -- and cis alkenoic acids.
