Patent number: 9586898Abstract: In a process for oxidizing a feed comprising cyclohexylbenzene, the feed is contacted with oxygen and an oxidation catalyst in a plurality of reaction zones connected in series, the contacting being conducted under conditions being effective to oxidize part of the cyclohexylbenzene in the feed to cyclohexylbenzene hydroperoxide in each reaction zone. At least one of the plurality of reaction zones has a reaction condition that is different from another of the plurality of reaction zones. The different reaction conditions may include one or more of (a) a progressively decreasing temperature and (b) a progressively increasing oxidation catalyst concentration as the feed flows from one reaction zone to subsequent reaction zones in the series.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2011Date of Patent: March 7, 2017Assignee: ExxonMobil Chemical Patents Inc.Inventors: Jihad Mohammed Dakka, Francisco Manuel Benitez, Bryan Amrutlal Patel, Edmund John Mozeleski

Patent number: 8568846Abstract: Provided are compositions, processes for making, and processes for using neoalkyl polyol esters and triglycerides as plasticizers. In one form, a neoalkylester triglyceride plasticizers can be produced by (i) drying a polyol feedstream; (ii) contacting in a reactor the dried polyol feedstream with a neoacid feedstream under effective temperature, pressure and time to form a neoalkylester plasticizer effluent stream, and (iii) purifying the neoalkylester plasticizer effluent stream to remove unreacted polyol and unreacted neoacid to form a neoalkylester plasticizer. Such plasticizers can be phthalate-free and provide outstanding properties including a suitable melting or pour point, glass transition temperature, low volatility, increased compatibility, increased hydrolytic stability, and excellent low temperature properties in a range of polymeric resins.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2010Date of Patent: October 29, 2013Assignee: ExxonMobil Research and Engineering CompanyInventors: Jihad Mohammed Dakka, Edmund John Mozeleski, Lisa Saunders Baugh, Jon Edmond Randolph Stanat, Karla Schall Colle, Francisco Manuel Benitez, Peter Stokes James, Allen David Godwin, Carl Robert Beck
