| 20110004034 | PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF ALCOHOL FROM A CARBONACEOUS FEEDSTOCK - The present invention relates to an improved process for the production of ethanol from a carbonaceous feedstock; wherein the carbonaceous feedstock is first converted to synthesis gas which is then converted to ethanoic acid, which is then esterified and which is then hydrogenated to produce ethanol. | 01-06-2011 |
| 20100234650 | Oxygen separation membrane - A composition comprising an electron-conducting component and an oxide ion-conducting component, characterised in that the electron-conducting component is also an oxide ion-conductor, the composition being suitable for use in a selective oxygen permeable membrane for separating oxygen from a gaseous mixture comprising oxygen, such as air, the separation optionally being carried out in a reactor comprising a first and second zone, in which an oxygen-containing gas is fed to the first zone, and a reactant fed to the second zone, in which an oxygen consuming reaction occurs in the second zone of the reactor. | 09-16-2010 |
| 20100099591 | LUBRICATION METHODS - A method of lubricating a two-stroke, diesel crosshead engine comprises lubricating the engine with a cylinder oil and with a system oil, which oils are different from each other, in which the system oil is an SAE 20 or SAE 30 oil, has a total base number of at least 10 mg KOH/g and comprises: (a) a base oil; (b) at least one detergent additive in a total amount of detergent corresponding in performance, as measured by the Hot Filtration Test, to at least 1.5% by weight of the system oil, of a calcium alkyl salicylate detergent soap in which the alkyl group is a C | 04-22-2010 |
| 20090264543 | Integrated Process for the Co-Production of Methanol and Demethyl Ether From Syngas Containing Nitrogen - The present invention relates to a novel integrated process for the co-production of methanol and dimethyl ether (DME) from syngas containing nitrogen, which is based on a two-stage reaction. In the first stage, most of the syngas is converted into methanol by using one reactor or two tandem reactors or multistage series reactors. In the second stage, the small amount of remaining syngas is further diluted by N2 and is converted to DME in the following reactor. Thus, the catalyst sintering is avoided due to the alleviated heat transfer limitations. An overall CO single pass conversion as high as | 10-22-2009 |
| 20090264285 | Catalyst and process for the synthesis of C2-oxygenates by the hydrogenation of carbon monoxide - A catalyst is invented for the synthesis of C | 10-22-2009 |
| 20090130477 | Metal palladium composite membrane or alloy palladium composite membrane and their preparation methods - The present invention relates to a metal palladium composite membrane or an alloy palladium composite membrane in which essentially the metal palladium membrane or alloy palladium membrane exists substantially on the outer surface of the porous substrate support, with little or no presence in the pore channels of the support, and to process for its preparation. The process comprises the steps of treating the porous substrate with a pore filler before plating it with a palladium solution to form the composite membrane. | 05-21-2009 |
| 20090118558 | Dehydration Process - A process for producing an olefin and/or an ether is described, which comprises heating an alcohol in the presence of an acidic ionic compound which exists in a liquid state at a temperature of below 150° C. | 05-07-2009 |
| 20090101592 | Method for separating emulsions - A method for breaking an emulsion of an ionic liquid which is a salt that is in the liquid state at a temperature below 1500 C, and an oil, comprising the steps of (a) irradiating the emulsion with microwave radiation; (b) separating the emulsion into an ionic liquid phase and an oil phase; and (c) recovering at least one of the phases. | 04-23-2009 |
