Montecatini

Montecatini Process. This partial combustion process operates at higher pressure, 405—608 kPa (4—6 atm), than the BASF and SBA processes. The burner dimensions are proportionately smaller. Because of the higher pressure, the danger of premature ignition of the methane—oxygen mixture is higher so that 2 vol % of steam is added to the gas mixture to alter the flammabiUty limits. 

Of the many solvents proposed, only a few have found commercial appHcation, including water (Hbls), anhydrous ammonia (SBA), chilled methanol (Montecatini), /V-methy1pyrro1idinone (BASF), butyrolactone, acetone, dimethyl-form amide, and hydrocarbon fractions.

In addition to the presence of stable C—F bonds, the PTFE molecule possesses other features which lead to materials of outstanding heat resistance, chemical resistance and electrical insulation characteristics and with a low coefficient of friction. It is today produced by a number of chemical manufacturers such as Du Pont (Teflon), ICI (Fluon), Hoechst (Hostaflon TF), Rhone-Poulenc (Soreflon), Montecatini (Algoflan), Nitto Chemical-Japan (Tetraflon) and Daikin Kogyo-Japan (Polyflon).

Examples of commercial poly(methyl methacrylate) sheet are Perspex (ICI), Oroglas and Plexiglas (Atoglas). Poly(methyl methacrylate) moulding powders include Diakon (ICI), Acry-ace (Fudow Chemical Co., Japan), Lucite (Du Pont) and Vedril (Montecatini).

It is important to begin producing this additive as soon as possible. This is because die discovery of something new is frequently made by two or more independent investigators at about the same time, and the first producer sets the standards and gets the markets. In 1969 four chemical companies Standard Oil Co. (Indiana), DuPont, Phillips Petroleum, and Montecatini-Edison, were all claiming to be the inventor of polypropylene. At that time, the U.S. Patent Office had still not decided who would get the U.S. patent, even though the work had been done over 10 years before.5 Finally in December 1971 Montecatini-Edison received the patent. 

Fauser-Montecatini A reforming process for making syngas from heavy hydrocarbons by gasifying with preheated steam and oxygen. Widely operated in Europe and Asia in the 1960s. 

Spherilene [Spherical polyethylene] A process for making polyethylene in the form of granules. The catalyst combines a Ziegler-Natta catalyst with a silane. Developed by Montecatini, Italy. The first plant was due for startup by Himont, in Lake Charles, LA, in 1993. 

Spheripol A process for making polypropylene and propylene co-polymers. Homopolymerization is conducted in the liquid phase in a loop tubular reactor co-polymerization is conducted in the gas phase in a fluidized-bed reactor. The catalyst is treated with a special silane. The product is in the form of beads of up to 5 mm in diameter. Developed by Montecatini, Italy, and first licensed by Himont, United States, and Mitsui Petrochemical Industries, Japan. In 1989, 29 licenses had been granted worldwide. Now offered for license by Montell, a joint venture between Montedison and Shell. See also Addipol.
