Publication number: 20130274524Abstract: In a process for oxidizing an alkylaromatic compound to the corresponding hydroperoxide, a feed comprising an alkylaromatic compound is contacted with an oxygen-containing gas in the presence of a catalyst comprising a cyclic imide. The contacting is conducted at a temperature of about 90° C. to about 150° C., with the cyclic imide being present in an amount between about 0.05 wt % and about 5 wt % of the alkylaromatic compound in the feed and the catalyst being substantially free of alkali metal compounds. The contacting oxidizes at least part of the alkylaromatic compound in said feed to the corresponding hydroperoxide.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 28, 2013Publication date: October 17, 2013Inventors: Jihad M. Dakka, Stephen Zushma, Jon E.R. Stanat

Publication number: 20130231506Abstract: Disclosed herein is a process for producing phenol. The process includes oxidizing at least a portion of a feed comprising cyclohexylbenzene to produce an oxidation composition comprising cyclohexyl-1-phenyl-1-hydroperoxide. The oxidation composition may then be cleaved in the presence of an acid catalyst to produce a cleavage reaction mixture comprising the acid catalyst, phenol and cyclohexanone. At least a portion of the cleavage reaction mixture may be neutralized with a basic material to form a treated cleavage reaction mixture. In various embodiments, the cleavage reaction mixture contains 1 wt % to 30 wt % phenol, 1 wt % to 30 wt % cyclohexanone and a complexation product.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 16, 2011Publication date: September 5, 2013Applicant: ExxonMobil Chemical Patents Inc.Inventors: Keith Holroyd Kuechler, Francisco Manuel Benitez

Publication number: 20130225856Abstract: This specification discloses an operational continuous process to convert lignin as found in ligno-cellulosic biomass before or after converting at least some of the carbohydrates. The continuous process has been demonstrated to create a slurry comprised of lignin, raise the slurry comprised of lignin to ultra-high pressure, deoxygenate the lignin in a lignin conversion reactor over a catalyst which is not a fixed bed without producing char. The conversion products of the carbohydrates or lignin can be further processed into polyester intermediates for use in polyester preforms and bottles.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 24, 2013Publication date: August 29, 2013Applicant: Chemtex Italia, S.p.A.Inventor: Chemtex Italia, S.p.A.

Publication number: 20130225867Abstract: In a process for producing phenol and cyclohexanone, a feed comprising cyclohexylbenzene is oxidized to produce an oxidation reaction product comprising cyclohexyl-1-phenyl-1-hydroperoxide. At least a portion of the oxidation reaction product is then cleaved to produce a cleavage reaction product comprising phenol, cyclohexanone, and at least one contaminant. At least a portion of the cleavage reaction product is contacted with an acidic material to convert at least a portion of the at least one contaminant to a converted contaminant and thereby produce a modified reaction product. The cleavage reaction product may comprise 1 wt %-30 wt % phenol; 1 wt %-30 wt % cyclohexanone; and 0.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 16, 2011Publication date: August 29, 2013Applicant: ExxonMobil Chemical Patents Inc.Inventors: Keith Holtroyd Kuachter, Francisco Manuel Benitez
