  • Patent number: 4940833
    Abstract: Olefin monomer is recovered from a liquid polymerization reaction mixture comprising olefin monomer, catalyst residue, and catalyst deactivation compounds by washing the mixture with water and then separating the organic phase and aqueous phase. The liquid mixture can also comprise soluble olefin polymer.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 29, 1988
    Date of Patent: July 10, 1990
    Assignee: Phillips Petroleum Company
    Inventors: Charles A. Drake, William R. Parrish, Roy C. Lee
  • Patent number: 4419968
    Abstract: Two reactors containing an absorbing composition are utilized to remove hydrogen sulfide (H.sub.2 S) from a fuel being utilized as fuel for an internal combustion engine. The reactors are heated to reaction temperature with the engine exhaust gas and the engine exhaust gas is also utilized to regenerate the absorbing composition. Continuous removal of hydrogen sulfide is achieved by utilizing the absoring composition in one reactor to remove H.sub.2 S while the absorbing composition in the second reactor is regenerated. When the absorbing composition in the first reactor becomes sulfided to the extent desired, the absorbing composition in the second reactor is then utilized to remove H.sub.2 S while the absorbing composition in the first reactor is regenerated.

  • Patent number: 4003343
    Abstract: This invention provides a method and apparatus for maintaining the operating temperature in a device in which exhaust gases are passed from an engine through a fuel reformer in indirect heat exchange with fuel and steam in contact with a catalytic bed for steam reforming the fuel, the reformed fuel is brought into heat exchange relationship with the fuel and water entering the fuel reformer and thereafter the engine is operated utilizing this reformed fuel for lowering the amount of pollutant species from the engine.
