20100030005 | PROCESSES FOR PRODUCING HIGHER HYDROCARBONS FROM METHANE AND BROMINE - Processes for producing C2+ hydrocarbons are provided. Such processes use Br2, HBr, and/or heat that are produced by such processes, thus providing commercially efficient processes. The process can comprise (a) producing HBr and methyl bromide using a bromine source and a gas stream comprising methane; (b) heating the methyl bromide in the presence of a catalyst to produce additional HBr and C2+ hydrocarbons; (c) combining at least some of the HBr and an oxygen source in the presence of a cerium-containing compound at least about 315° C. to produce Br2; and (d) using at least some of the produced Br2 from (c) as at least a portion of the bromine source in (a). Additionally, the additional HBr from (b) can be used in (c) and/or heat can be recovered from (c) and used to provide at least some of the heating in (a), (b), or both. | 02-04-2010 |
20100047155 | PROCESSES FOR CONJOINTLY PRODUCING BROMINE AND CALCIUM CHLORIDE - Processes are provided for conjointly producing Br2 and a concentrated aqueous solution containing at least about 5 wt % CaCI2, based on the weight of the concentrated aqueous solution, from an aqueous HBr rich stream and, optionally, a feed brine dilute in CaCI2. Such processes can comprise feeding the aqueous HBr-rich stream and the feed brine to a tower, oxidizing bromide moieties within the tower with Cl2 to produce Br2, recovering Br2 from the tower, removing a bromide-depleted bottoms from the tower, such bottoms containing HCI, adding a Ca++ source to the bromide-depleted bottoms to convert substantially all of the HCI in the bottoms to CaCI2, and, as necessary, removing water from the treated bottoms to produce the concentrated aqueous solution. | 02-25-2010 |
20100056479 | THE USE OF QUATERNARY AMMONIUM COMPOUNDS IN THE REMEDIATION OF MOLD, MILDEW, AND FUNGUSES - The present invention relates to the use of quaternary ammonium compounds in the remediation of microbial growth such as mold, funguses, and mildew. | 03-04-2010 |
20100143238 | PROCESSES FOR CONJOINTLY PRODUCING BROMINE, CALCIUM CHLORIDE, AND CHLORINE - Processes are provided for conjointly producing Br | 06-10-2010 |
20100155658 | PROCESSES FOR CONJOINTLY PRODUCING BROMINE AND CALCIUM CHLORIDE - Processes are provided for conjointly producing Br | 06-24-2010 |
20100248020 | ULTRA-HIGH PURITY ZINC BROMIDES AND QUATERNARY AMMONIUM BROMIDES FOR USE IN ZINC-BROMINE BATTERIES - Ultra-high purity zinc bromide and quaternary ammonium bromides suitable for use in zinc-bromine batteries, and methods for making same, are provided. | 09-30-2010 |
20100292321 | BIOFILM CONTROL - Compositions and methods suitable for killing bacteria and controlling biofilms comprising one or more microorganisms are provided wherein molecules capable of emulating cell-to-cell signal molecules of the microorganisms are utilized. | 11-18-2010 |
