  • Selective adsorption process
    Patent number: 4229188
    Abstract: There is provided an improved, environmentally acceptable adsorption process for the recovery of hydrogen and normally liquid hydrocarbon from a feed gas mixture by utilizing a membrane permeator unit selectively permeable to hydrogen to recover a permeated hydrogen gas from the purge gas obtained from the regeneration of a selective adsorption unit, recycling the permeated hydrogen gas to a guard adsorber of the selective adsorption unit as purge gas and blending said gas with the feed gas mixture for recovery of normally liquid hydrocarbon and of the added proportion of hydrogen as purified hydrogen product.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 18, 1979
    Date of Patent: October 21, 1980
    Assignee: Monsanto Company
    Inventor: George M. Intille
  • Hydrogenolysis of alcohols, ketones, aldehydes, esters and ethers
    Patent number: 4067900
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of saturated hydrocarbons from alcohols, ketones, aldehydes, esters or ethers by hydrogenolysis in the presence of catalyst systems containing an iridium or rhodium component and a halogen component. The process is specifically directed to the production of methane from methanol, toluene from benzaldehyde, ethyl benzene from methyl benzyl alcohol or acetophenone, bis(p-hydroxyphenyl) ethane from anisoin.

  • Coupling of aromatic compounds in the presence of molecular oxygen, a mercuric oxyanion compound, and a group VIII metal or group VIII metal oxyanion compound
    Patent number: 4008266
    Abstract: A catalytic process in which molecular oxygen is used to couple aromatic compounds to form a variety of polyaromatic compounds is disclosed. The process comprises reacting monoaromatic compounds in the presence of molecular oxygen and a catalyst system comprising a mercuric oxyanion compound, a Group VIII metal, or metal oxyanion compound and optionally a redox reagent consisting of a soluble salt of a multivalent metal having an oxidation potential greater than that of the Group VIII metal.

    Inventor: George M. Intille
  • Catalytic coupling of allylic compounds to substituted olefins
    Patent number: 3966798
    Abstract: Allylic compounds are carbon-to-carbon coupled to substituted olefins by contacting the two compounds in the presence of a catalyst system comprising a Group VIII metal component, a bromine or iodine component, and a Group VA component. The foregoing catalytic process also promotes the intra-molecular, carbon-carbon coupling of allylic and substituted olefin groups wherein both processes provide a method for producing sorbates and related compounds.
