  • Patent number: 11639475
    Abstract: A hydrocracking process for converting a petroleum feed to lower boiling products. The process comprises hydrotreating a petroleum feed in a pre-treating zone in the presence of hydrogen to produce a hydrotreated effluent stream comprising a liquid product. At least a portion of the hydrotreated effluent stream is then passed to an MMS catalyst zone, and then to a hydrocracking zone. In one embodiment, the MMS catalyst zone comprises a self-supported multi-metallic catalyst prepared from a precursor in the oxide or hydroxide form. The percentage work of the hydrotreating in the pre-treating zone is maintained at a level of at least 56%.

  • Patent number: 8822697
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a paramagnetic polynuclear metal complex having enhanced self-relaxation rate and thermodynamic stability, and more particularly, to a synthetic method of a novel DTPA-bis-amide-histidine ligand and DTPA-bis-amide-aspartic acid ligand, a novel gadolinium complex ([Gd(L)H2O]) using the ligand, and a paramagnetic polynuclear metal complex using the gadolinium complex. The paramagnetic polynuclear metal complex is able to fix three or more metals (one gadolinium and two metal ions), thereby providing more excellent self-relaxation rate than the commercially available contrast agents. Thus, it can be widely applied to an MRI contrast agent because of meeting the high self-relaxation rate required as a contrast agent of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

    Abstract: Disclosed is a clean method for preparing layered double hydroxides (LDHs), in which hydroxides of different metals are used as starting materials for production of LDHs by atom-economical reactions. The atom efficiency of the reaction is 100% in each case because all the atoms of the reactants are converted into the target product since only M2+(OH)2, M3+(OH)3, and CO2 or HnAn? are used, without any NaOH or other materials. Since there is no by-product, filtration or washing process is unnecessary. The consequent reduction in water consumption is also beneficial to the environment.

The single source precursors effectively degrade to yield the ternary chalcopyrite at low temperature, e.g. below 500° C., and are useful to deposit thin film ternary chalcopyrite layers via a spray CVD technique. The ternary single source precursors according to the invention can be used to provide nanocrystallite structures useful as quantum dots. A method of making the ternary single source precursors is also provided.

  • Patent number: 6297392
    Abstract: A novel Group IV elements-bridged metallocene complex is disclosed which is represented by the following formula (I): wherein R and R1 are different and are independently selected from the group consisting of &eegr;5-cyclopentadienyl group, substituted &eegr;5-cyclopentadienyl group, indenyl group, and fluorenyl group; R2 is selected from the group consisting of —N(CH3)2, —N(C2H5)2, halogen, alkoxy, —(C═O)NH2, and C6-12 hydrocarbyl group; M is a Group IVA element; and M1 is a Group IVB metal. When employing the metallocene complex to prepare olefin polymers, since it is bridged by a Group IV element, there are two catalytic sites in the single metallocene complex catalyst. Therefore, the olefin monomers can be polymerized to a bimodal olefin polymer by a single catalyst in a single reactor, resulting in lowered capital costs.

  • Patent number: 6096693
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a zinc-molybdenum-based dithiocarbamate derivative which is a complex salt having the metallic components of zinc and molybdenum in the same molecule. When used as a lubricant additive, it imparts a notable friction-reducing effect to the lubricant composition in which it is incorporated, reducing its friction coefficient and improving its stability of friction coefficient at both low and high temperature, particularly at high temperature. In particular, it improves friction-related characteristics much more notably than a combination of a molybdenum and zinc compound.

  • Patent number: 5612082
    Abstract: Metals are reacted in a first solvent, such as 2-methoxyethanol, to form an initial precursor comprising metal-oxide compounds dissolved in the first solvent. A second solvent, such as xylene, that does not react with the metal is added to the solution and the solution heated to distill away the first solvent and form a final precursor. The final precursor is spin-coated on an integrated circuit substrate then dried and annealed to form a thin film of a metal oxide. For metal oxides including bismuth, the bismuth precursor is added to a cold initial precursor and the final precursor is not heated after the bismuth precursor is added. The second solvent wets the substrate better than the first solvent and has a better viscosity for spin-coating, thus resulting in a denser thin film with fewer imperfections.
