  • Integrated process for producing iso-butene and alkyl tert-butyl ethers
    Patent number: 5446224
    Abstract: An integrated process for producing iso-butene and alkyl tert-butyl ethers in which the iso-butene is obtained by dehydrogenation of iso-butane followed by purification by partial condensation plus absorption of residual vapor with a solvent, the alkyl tert-butyl ether being obtained by reacting the purified iso-butene product with the corresponding alcohol, the essential characteristic being that the solvent used for absorbing the iso-butene is part of the product alkyl tert-butyl ether itself and/or part of the corresponding alcohol used in the process.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 16, 1993
    Date of Patent: August 29, 1995
    Assignee: Snamprotetti S.p.A.
    Inventors: Ivano Miracca, Giorgio Fusco

  • Process for storing and producing power by storage of alkali metals produced electrolytically
    Patent number: 4459187
    Abstract: A process for recovering power is disclosed, by which excess electric power is exploited for electrolyzing alkali metal hydroxides (molten) and the thusly obtained pure alkali metals are stored. When the demand of electric power becomes critical, the alkali metals are reconverted into their hydroxides and the reaction heat, along with the hydrogen produced in the reaction, is recovered to produce steam: the latter can be used either to produce electricity, or to use its heat, or both.
