- METHOD FOR PRODUCING PEROXYMONOSULFURIC ACID AND APPARATUS FOR CONTINUOUSLY PRODUCING PEROXYMONOSULFURIC ACID
-
The invention provides a method for producing a peroxymonosulfuric acid solution with high stability, including the steps of mixing 35 mass % or more of hydrogen peroxide and 70 mass % or more of sulfuric acid to react them, cooling the reaction solution to 80° C. or lower within five minutes after initiation of the mixing step, and diluting the reaction solution with water four times or more as much as the reaction solution by mass.

- Anhydrous processing of methane into methane-sulfonic acid, methanol, and other compounds
-
Anhydrous processing to convert methane into oxygenates (such as methanol), liquid fuels, or olefins uses an initiator to create methyl radicals. These radicals combine with sulfur trioxide to form methyl-sulfonate radicals. These radicals attack fresh methane, forming stable methane-sulfonic acid (MSA) while creating new methyl radicals to sustain a chain reaction. This system avoids the use or creation of water, and liquid MSA is an amphoteric solvent that increasing the solubility and reactivity of methane and SO3. MSA from this process can be sold or used as a valuable chemical with no mercaptan or halogen impurities, or it can be heated and cracked to release methanol (a clean fuel, gasoline additive, and chemical feedstock) and sulfur dioxide (which can be oxidized to SO3 and recycled back into the reactor). MSA also can be converted into gasoline, olefins, or other valuable chemicals.

- Method of reducing chemical oxygen contaminants in water
-
A method of cleaning water systems and an oxidizer (e.g., a potassium monopersulfate composition) that is used for the method are presented. When potassium monopersulfate is used as the oxidizer, it preferably has a low concentration (0.5 wt. %) of potassium oxodisulfate byproduct that causes irritation. The low potassium oxodisulfate concentration allows the composition to be used more liberally than conventional potassium monopersulfate. To control the release rate of the oxidizer, the oxidizer is formed into a tablet and coated with a material that dissolves at a desired rate. The coating material controls the rate at which the oxidizer is released when placed in contact with a solvent. The coated tablets may be aggregated under high pressure to form an agglomerate composition. A binder and/or a filler material may be added when forming the agglomerate composition to achieve a desired oxidizer release rate.

- METHOD OF PRODUCING A MIXED PERACID OXIDIZING SOLUTION AND METHODS FOR TREATING SUBSTRATES THEREWITH
-
A process for treating a substrate, e.g., lignocellulosic pulp or cellulosic pulps with a mixed peracid solution comprising percarboxylic acid and Caro's acid which results in a higher conversion rate of the active oxygen in the hydrogen peroxide in order to provide an inexpensive and effective delignification and/or bleaching solution and the process for making the mixed peracid solution.

In one class of processes for making poorly soluble organic peroxyacids the corresponding carboxylic acid is reacted with hydrogen peroxide in a reaction medium containing a high concentration of sulphuric acid. The presence of such constituents in the reaction mixture and the manner of the reactants and the way in which they are brought into contact, can result in the processes being hazardous. In the present invention, hazard problems are reduced or eliminated by first dissolving the carboxylic acid in concentrated sulphuric acid, secondly forming a Caro's acid solution containing a complementary amount of sulphuric acid and hydrogen peroxide within a predetermined range, and then introducing the carboxylic acid solution at a controlled rate in the Caro's acid solution, often over a period of from about 30 to 90 minutes, with agitation and temperature control. The compositions of the two reactant solutions are precalculated relative to each other such that the A value (weight ratio of sulphuric acid to the combined weight of it and water) either increases during addition of the carboxylic acid solution or if the latter is relatively less insoluble, stays the same or increases. The solutions are preferably formulated to provide an A value at the end of the reaction period selected in the range of around 0.7 to around 0.8, at a temperature of around 20° to 45° C., the more soluble tending towards the lower end of each range and the less soluble towards the upper end of each range. The process is especially suitable for making poorly soluble aliphatic mono or diperoxycarboxylic acids such as peroxynonanoic acid or diperoxydodecanedioic acid, or for aromatic group substituted peroxyacids in which the peroxydation occurs in a primarily aliphatic environment, such as phthalimidoperoxyhexanoic acid.
