Potassium alumina

Several other important commercial processes need to be mentioned. They are (not necessarily in the order of importance) the low pressure methanol process, using a copper-containing catalyst which was introduced in 1972 the production of acetic add from methanol over RhI catalysts, which has cornered the market the methanol-to-gasoline processes (MTG) over ZSM-5 zeolite, which opened a new route to gasoline from syngas and ammoxidation of propene over mixed-oxide catalysts. In 1962, catalytic steam reforming for the production of synthesis gas and/or hydrogen over nickel potassium alumina catalysts was commercialized. 

Potassium-Alumina. The reagent is prepared by melting potassium over alumina with vigorous stirring. The material is sensitive to oxygen and moisture.

Prepared by heating ammonium mucate, or from butyne-l,4-diol and ammonia in the presence of an alumina catalyst. The pyrrole molecule is aromatic in character. It is not basic and the imino-hydrogen atom can be replaced by potassium. Many pyrrole derivatives occur naturally, e.g. proline, indican, haem and chlorophyll.

The compounds of greatest importance are aluminum oxide, the sulfate, and the soluble sulfate with potassium (alum). The oxide, alumina, occurs naturally as ruby, sapphire, corundum, and emery, and is used in glassmaking and refractories. Synthetic ruby and sapphire are used in lasers for producing coherent light.

Polyethers are usually found in both the filtrate and the mycelial fraction, but in high yielding fermentations they are mosdy in the mycelium because of their low water-solubiUty (162). The high lipophilicity of both the free acid and the salt forms of the polyether antibiotics lends these compounds to efficient organic solvent extraction and chromatography (qv) on adsorbents such as siUca gel and alumina. Many of the production procedures utilize the separation of the mycelium followed by extraction using solvents such as methanol or acetone. A number of the polyethers can be readily crystallized, either as the free acid or as the sodium or potassium salt, after only minimal purification. 

The industrial catalysts for ammonia synthesis consist of far more than the catalyticaHy active iron (74). There are textural promoters, alumina and calcium oxide, that minimise sintering of the iron and a chemical promoter, potassium (about 1 wt % of the catalyst), and possibly present as K2O the potassium is beheved to be present on the iron surface and to donate electrons to the iron, increasing its activity for the dissociative adsorption of N2. The primary iron particles are about 30 nm in size, and the surface area is about 15 m /g. These catalysts last for years. 

Over the years, HteraHy thousands of catalyst formulations have been evaluated and those available today are significantly more active, which has allowed considerable improvement in productivity and plant operation. Today, a typical catalyst contains approximately 93 wt % Fe O, and about 1 wt % potassium oxide, 3 wt % alumina, 3 wt % calcium oxide, and 0.5 wt % siHca, which is actually an unnecessary impurity. 

Oxychlorination of Ethylene to Dichloroethane. Ethylene (qv) is converted to dichloroethane in very high yield in fixed-bed, multitubular reactors and fluid-bed reactors by reaction with oxygen and hydrogen chloride over potassium-promoted copper(II) chloride supported on high surface area, porous alumina (84) ... 

The composition of the Hquid phase during the early hydration of Portiand cements is controlled mainly by the solution of calcium, sulfate, sodium, and potassium ions. Very Httie alumina, siHca, or iron are present in solution. Calcium hydroxide, as calcium oxide, and gypsum, as calcium sulfate, alone have solubihties of about 1.1 and 2.1 g/L at 25°C, respectively. In the presence of alkaHes released in the first 7 min, the composition tends to be governed by the equiHbrium ... 

The properties of 1,1-dichloroethane are Hsted ia Table 1. 1,1-Dichloroethane decomposes at 356—453°C by a homogeneous first-order dehydrochlofination, giving vinyl chloride and hydrogen chloride (1,2). Dehydrochlofination can also occur on activated alumina (3,4), magnesium sulfate, or potassium carbonate (5). Dehydrochlofination ia the presence of anhydrous aluminum chloride (6) proceeds readily. The 48-h accelerated oxidation test with 1,1-dichloroethane at reflux temperatures gives a 0.025% yield of hydrogen chloride as compared to 0.4% HCl for trichloroethylene and 0.6% HCl for tetrachloroethylene. Reaction with an amine gives low yields of chloride ion and the dimer 2,3-dichlorobutane, CH CHCICHCICH. 2-Methyl-l,3-dioxaindan [14046-39-0] can be prepared by a reaction of catechol [120-80-9] with 1,1-dichloroethane (7). 

Steam reforming is the reaction of steam with hydrocarbons to make town gas or hydrogen. The first stage is at 700 to 830°C (1,292 to 1,532°F) and 15-40 atm (221 to 588 psih A representative catalyst composition contains 13 percent Ni supported on Ot-alumina with 0.3 percent potassium oxide to minimize carbon formation. The catalyst is poisoned by sulfur. A subsequent shift reaction converts CO to CO9 and more H2, at 190 to 260°C (374 to 500°F) with copper metal on a support of zinc oxide which protects the catalyst from poisoning by traces of sulfur.
