Abstract: There is provided an additive for the hydroconversion of a heavy hydrocarbon oil, which is obtained by suspending a fine powder of a carbonaceous substance and a solution of a heteropolymolybdic acid and/or transition metal salts thereof in a hydrocarbon oil. By the use of the additive of the present invention, the hydroconversion of a heavy hydrocarbon oil can be effectively performed at high conversion without occurrence of coking.
Abstract: This invention relates to a process for the preparation of non-cellular or cellular polyurethane elastomers by the reaction of(a) an organic polyisocyanate, preferably in the form of NCO groups containing prepolymers and/or modified urethane group containing organic polyisocyanates with(b) a higher molecular weight compound having at least two reactive hydrogen atoms,(c) a polyester polyol containing tin and/or titanium compounds as catalysts, and optionally(d) a chain extending agent and/or crosslinking agent in the presence of(e) blowing agents,(f) auxiliaries and/or additiveswhereby from 0.1 to 10 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the (b) component, of a polyester polyol is used as a catalyst, which is prepared by the polycondensation of organic polycarboxylic acid with multivalent alcohols in the presence of from 0.002 to 5 weight percent, based on the weight of the polycondensation mixture, of a titanium and/or tin compound used as a catalyst at temperatures from 150.degree. to 200.degree.

Abstract: A process for the production of catalyst materials stabilized in the active state, comprising activating the catalyst starting materials in a reducing gas atmosphere, impregnating the activated catalysts with the melt of a solid inert to the active catlayst, and solidifying the melt impregnation by cooling. The particulate catalyst starting material is passed under the reaction conditions of the activation stage through a reaction zone filled with the reducing gas atmosphere which is in direct contact with the melt of the impregnating solid; the activated catalyst material is introduced into this melt; subsequently removed therefrom; and the molten solid left to solidify. If desired, the impregnated catalyst material may be mechanically size-reduced.
Abstract: A composition of matter is prepared by a process comprising the steps of impregnating a alumina-containing support material with a thiocyanate (preferably ammonium thiocyanate), drying the thus impregnated material, impregnating the dried material with a transition metal compound, drying and calcining the transition metal impregnated material. This composition of matter is used as catalyst composition for hydrotreating of hydrocarbon-containing feed streams (in particular heavy oils) which contain metal and sulfur compounds as impurities.In another embodiment, a hydrotreating process comprises contacting hydrocarbon-containing feed stream (in particular heavy oils), which contains compounds of sulfur and metals, in the presence of a fixed catalyst bed comprising (X) at least one layer of impregnated substantially spherical alumina-containing particles which have been prepared by a process comprising the steps of impregnating specific starting material with NH.sub.

Abstract: A composition of matter is prepared by a process comprising the steps of impregnating a alumina-containing support material with a thiosulfate (preferably ammonium thiosulfate), drying the thus impregnated material, impregnating the dried material with a transition metal compound, drying and calcining the transition metal impregnated material. This composition of matter is used as catalyst composition for hydrogenating unsaturated hydrocarbon compounds, and as catalyst composition for hydrotreating of hydrocarbon-containing feed streams (in particular heavy oils) which contain metal and sulfur compounds as impurities.

Abstract: Water-insoluble, water swellable polymer compositions are disclosed. In one embodiment, the polymer composition comprises a copolymer of styrene and meleic anhydride and a multi arm block copolymer of styrene and ethylene oxide. In a preferred embodiment, the maleic anhydride groups of the anhydride-containing copolymer are treated with a strong base to further enhance absorption capacity.
Abstract: Supported initiators for the radiation-activated polymerization of cationically-polymerizable compounds, particularly epoxide group-containing compounds, are described. The supported initiators comprise a particulate carrier and a photocatalytic ionic salt. The supported initiators are especially useful for the polymerization of cationically-polymerizable compounds in which the ionic salt alone is not soluble.

Abstract: A stable aqueous suspension containing an organic azo compound as polymerization initiator in fine particles, containing substantially no organic solvent and containing no foam which damages dispersing stability of the aqueous suspension and retards polymerization rate can be formed by dissolving an organic azo compound in an organic solvent, emulsifying the resulting solution by adding water and a dispersing agent A and a dispersing agent B thereto with stirring, and removing the organic solvent from the emulsified liquid preferably under reduced pressure.
Abstract: A comminuted, supported polymerization catalyst for alpha-olefins comprises (A) an organoaluminum compound and (B) a solid titanium-containing component formed by (1) comminuting a solid reaction product comprising (a) at least one halogen-containing compound of titanium (IV); (b) at least one electron donor; and (c) at least one hydrocarbon-insoluble magnesium-containing compound; and (2) retreating such comminuted product with (a) at least one halogen-containing compound of titanium (IV); (b) at least one chlorocarbon; and (c) at least one organic acid ester.

Abstract: A substrate is provided with a refractory oxide coating by contacting the substrate with a dispersion of a solid particulate phase in a liquid phase, subsequently followed by firing to produce the coating, the dispersion comprising at least a first and a second refractory oxide component.In order to produce a coating of controlled purity, e.g. for certain catalytic, electronic or other appications, the first refractory oxide component (e.g. an alumina) is obtained from a purifiable liquid or solid precursor therefor and constitutes part at least of the solid phase, and the second refractory oxide component is either obtained from a purifiable liquid or solid precursor therefor and constitutes part of the solid phase or is a purifiable liquid precursor (e.g. a water-soluble silicone) constituting part at least of the liquid phase.
