Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system and method for converting crude oil to light hydrocarbon products useful as a chemical feedstock. The system may also include a conversion system, such as a steam cracking unit, that converts the chemical feedstock from the feed preparation system to useful hydrocarbon chemicals. Exemplary hydrocarbon chemicals produced by the conversion system include light olefins, such as ethylene, propylene, and/or butadiene.

Abstract: An integrated process comprising to convert crude oil, comprising: converting crude oil (10) in a feed preparation facility (800) by separating the crude oil to a gas fraction (101), liquid fraction (102), and first residuum fraction in an atmospheric distillation unit (100); separating the 1st residuum to a vacuum gas oil fraction (202) and a second residuum (201) in a vacuum distillation unit (200); converting the vacuum gas oil fraction to a CU gas fraction (301,401), a CU liquid fraction (302), and an CU higher boiling fraction (303,402) in a cracking unit (300,400); and processing the second residuum fraction to DCU gas oil/lighter fraction (501) in a coking unit (500); and steam cracking at least one of the gas fraction (101), liquid fraction (102), CU gas fraction (301,401), and DCU gas oil/lighter fraction (501) to the hydrocarbon products (920).

Abstract: The present invention relates to improved processes for the preparation of 1-amino-2,6-dimethylpiperidine whereby the yield is more than 90%. The processes involve the hydrogenation of 1-nitroso-2,6-dimethylpiperidine in the presence of a palladium catalyst partly poisoned with iron ions but in the substantial absence of water or other solubilizing agents added to the reaction vessel.

Abstract: The present invention relates to improved processes for the preparation of 1-amino-2,6-dimethylpiperidine whereby the yield is more than 90%. The processes involve the hydrogenation of 1-nitroso-2,6-dimethylpiperidine in the presence of a palladium catalyst which is partly poisoned with iron ions, in an aqueous solvent, and are characterized by the inclusion of at least one surfactant. The surfactant preferably is anionic or nonionic.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of pyrrole derivatives of the general formula I ##STR1## by reaction of a compound of the general formula III ##STR2## where R, R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are defined as specified in claim 1, in a Vilsmeier reaction. The reaction is carried out in an easily degradable solvent, the reaction product is isolated with the aid of a water-miscible extractant and is purified by high-vacuum distillation in the short path evaporator.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of benzothioxanthene dyestuffs and cyclisation of 3-(2'-aminophenylthio)-benzanathrones wherein the diazotisation and cyclisation are carried out simultaneously in polar, aprotic solvent in the presence of water.

Abstract: In a process for preparing 2-substituted 1-(acylaminoalkyl)-2-imidazolines of the general formula I ##STR1## where R is an alkylene radical and R.sup.1 is a fatty acid radical, for example a fatty acid and a dialkylenetriamine are reacted with one another in a molar ratio of (1.8 to 2.0):1 by initially introducing one starting material at a temperature T.sub.1 and metering in the second starting material as a liquid, maintaining in the reaction mixture during the addition a temperature T.sub.1 and after the addition until the start of the cyclization a temperature T.sub.2 and distilling off the resulting water or alcohol via a rectification column and, after the acylation product has been formed, cyclizing in a conventional manner, T.sub.1 being a temperature of 170.degree. C. to the boiling point of the initially introduced starting material, but not higher than 250.degree. C., and T.sub.2 being a temperature of 170.degree. to 250.degree. C.

Abstract: Cyanogen halides and/or phosgene are removed from waste gases by bringing the waste gases into intimate contact with an aqueous solution of at least one amine of the formula NR.sub.3 ; in the formula, 1 or 2 of the radicals R represent an alkanol or alkylamine group having 2 or 3 carbon atoms in each case, where H and/or C.sub.1 -C.sub.2 -alkyl is bound to the nitrogen of the amine group, and the remaining groups R are H or C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl.

Abstract: A polymer hydrogel substantially free from monomers and oligomers is prepared by contacting a previously prepared polymer hydrogel with a single-phase mixture of water and a solvent and then separating the mixture of water and solvent from the hydrogel.
