Patent number: 7108789Abstract: A process for reaction and separation which comprises inputting a process material into at least one column of a plurality of columns wherein each column has at least one inlet for accepting flow from another column or group of columns, an external feed stream, an external eluent stream or a combination thereof, and each column has at least one outlet for connecting to another column, a group of columns, an external product stream or a combination thereof. Each column is independently operable in an up-flow or down-flow mode and connected independently to one of the group comprising another column, an external feed stream, an external eluent stream, an external product stream and combinations thereof.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2003Date of Patent: September 19, 2006Assignee: Calgon Carbon CorporationInventors: Chen-Chou Chiang, David L.

Patent number: 7045057Abstract: A process for preparing an ion-exchangeable media within a moving-bed or simulated moving-bed device, which can create a true or simulated media flow, comprising the steps of packing the bed with ion-exchangeable media and passing a solution, containing a mixture of ionic species, through the media, wherein the solution is passed partly or completely counter-current to the media flow direction such that the ionic species are loaded to a desired level upon equilibration.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2003Date of Patent: May 16, 2006Assignee: Calgon Carbon CorporationInventors: Mark A. Bollinger, Chen-Chou Chiang

Patent number: 6933416Abstract: The invention provides a process for the continuous production of bisphenol-A by continuously reacting phenol using an acid catalyst resin and continuously or essentially continuously removing water from the system. Continuous removal of water allows for increased catalytic activity of the resin and therefore improved productivity. Removal is facilitated by conducting the process in a carousel simulated moving bed device. Process efficiency is further enhanced by conducting the process in a device configured to have a combination of series, parallel or reverse flows which are optionally arranged so the process results in higher yield and lower impurities.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2003Date of Patent: August 23, 2005Assignee: Calgon Carbon CorporationInventors: Chen-Chou Chiang, David L.

Patent number: 6517797Abstract: The present invention is a reactive adsorption process for separating NOx (NO and NO2/N2O4) from N2O in a mixture. The process comprises (A) selectively converting NO to NO2/N2O4 in a mixture with an oxidant and (B) selectively adsorbing NO2/N2O4 from the mixture by an adsorbent and © recovering a stream of N2O having a substantially reduced NOx concentration. The adsorbed NOx can be recovered from the adsorbent by elevated temperature, reduced pressure, inert gas purge, water wash or any combination thereof.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 1997Date of Patent: February 11, 2003Assignee: Calgon Carbon CorporationInventors: Chen-Chou Chiang, Toan P.
