Cross aliphatic alcohols

Such materials are soluble in the lower aliphatic alcohols, e.g.ethanol, and in phenols. They also absorb up to 21 % of moisture when immersed in water. If this material is heated with 2% citric acid at elevated temperatures, typically for 20 minutes at 120°C, cross-linking will take place Figure 18.20). 

A continuous cross-flow filtration process has been utilized to investigate the effectiveness in the separation of nano sized (3-5 nm) iron-based catalyst particles from simulated Fischer-Tropsch (FT) catalyst/wax slurry in a pilot-scale slurry bubble column reactor (SBCR). A prototype stainless steel cross-flow filtration module (nominal pore opening of 0.1 pm) was used. A series of cross-flow filtration experiments were initiated to study the effect of mono-olefins and aliphatic alcohol on the filtration flux and membrane performance. 1-hexadecene and 1-dodecanol were doped into activated iron catalyst slurry (with Polywax 500 and 655 as simulated FT wax) to evaluate the effect of their presence on filtration performance. The 1-hexadecene concentrations were varied from 5 to 25 wt% and 1-dodecanol concentrations were varied from 6 to 17 wt% to simulate a range of FT reactor slurries reported in literature. The addition of 1-dodecanol was found to decrease the permeation rate, while the addition of 1-hexadecene was found to have an insignificant or no effect on the permeation rate. 

The objective of the present study is to develop a cross-flow filtration module operated under low transmembrane pressure drop that can result in high permeate flux, and also to demonstrate the efficient use of such a module to continuously separate wax from ultrafine iron catalyst particles from simulated FTS catalyst/ wax slurry products from an SBCR pilot plant unit. An important goal of this research was to monitor and record cross-flow flux measurements over a longterm time-on-stream (TOS) period (500+ h). Two types (active and passive) of permeate flux maintenance procedures were developed and tested during this study. Depending on the efficiency of different flux maintenance or filter media cleaning procedures employed over the long-term test to stabilize the flux over time, the most efficient procedure can be selected for further development and cost optimization. The effect of mono-olefins and aliphatic alcohols on permeate flux and on the efficiency of the filter membrane for catalyst/wax separation was also studied. 

The carbene thus reacts with O2 to form an orffio-benzoquinone O-oxide, and with an aliphatic alcohol as H-donor to form a phenoxyl radical (plus an aliphatic radical not shown in Scheme 1). The ground state triplet electronic configuration of this carbene accounts for its reaction behavior, in particular for the fact that it reacts very slowly with the solvent, H2O. In agreement with the intrinsically faster intersystem crossing of 2-bromophenol compared to 2-chlorophenol, the quantum yield of the carbene pathway was higher for the former = 0.04) than for the latter compound (< = 0.003). In contrast, the quantum yields of photo contraction were comparable (< = 0.04). The transient absorption data were confirmed by photoproduct analysis, showing the formation of phenol from 4-bromophenol in the presence of H-donors [16].

For the reactions described so far in this section, the ketone substrates have lowest excited states that are (n.ii ) in character aliphatic ketones may react by way of the singlet or the triplet state, and aryl ketones normally through the triplet because intersystem crossing is very efficient. The efficiency of photochemical hydrogen abstraction from compounds such as alcohols or ethers is very much lower if the ketone has a lowest (Ji,n triplet state, as does I - or 2-acetylnaphthalene (CmH-COMe). However, all aryl ketones, regardless of whether their lowest triplet state is fn,Jt l or (Jt.Ji ), react photochemically with amines to give photoreduction or photoaddition products. A different mechanism operates (4.38), that begins...
