Efficient heterogeneous dual catalyst systems for alkane metathesis

A fully heterogeneous and highly efficient dual catalyst system for alkane metathesis (AM) has been developed. The system is comprised of an alumina-supported iridium pincer catalyst for alkane dehydrogenation/olefin hydrogenation and a second heterogeneous olefin metathesis catalyst. The iridium catalysts bear basic functional groups on the aromatic backbone of the pincer ligand and are strongly adsorbed on Lewis acid sites on alumina. The heterogeneous systems exhibit higher lifetimes and productivities relative to the corresponding homogeneous systems as catalyst/catalyst interactions and bimolecular decomposition reactions are inhibited. Additionally, using a two-pot device, the supported Ir catalysts and metathesis catalysts can be physically separated and run at different temperatures. This system with isolated catalysts shows very high turnover numbers and is selective for the formation of high molecular weight alkanes.

DEGRADATION OF POLYCYCLIC AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS TO RENDER THEM AVAILABLE FOR BIODEGRADATION

A method for the degradation of polycyclic aromatic compounds is disclosed that involves dissolving ozone in a bipolar solvent comprising a non-polar solvent in which is of sufficiently non-polar character to solubilized the polycyclic aromatic compounds, and a polar-water-compatible solvent which is fully miscible with the non-polar solvent to form a single phase with the non-polar solvent. The bipolar solvent with dissolved ozone is contacted with the polycyclic aromatic compounds to solubilize the polycyclic aromatic compounds and react the dissolved polycyclic aromatic compounds with the ozone to degrade the dissolved polycyclic aromatic compounds to oxygenated intermediates. The bipolar solvent is then mixed with sufficient water to form separate non-polar and polar phases, the non-polar phase comprising the non-polar solvent and the polar phase comprising the non-polar solvent and the oxygenated intermediates. The polar phase is then diluted and incubated with bacteria to biodegrade the oxygenated intermediates.

Process for hydrogenation of carboxylic acids and derivatives to hydrocarbons

A process for hydrogenating a carboxylic acid and/or derivative thereof having a carboxylate group represented by the general formula R1COO-, which process comprises feeding hydrogen and the carboxylic acid and/or derivative thereof to a reactor and maintaining conditions within the reactor such that hydrogen reacts with the carboxylic acid and/or derivative thereof to produce a product stream comprising carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, methane and hydrocarbons represented by general formulae R1H and R1CH3, characterised in that the molar ratio of R1H : R1CH3 is above a pre-determined value and/or the mole ratio of the sum of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and methane to carboxylate groups is above a pre-determined value.

METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION OF PRIMARY LONG-CHAIN ALCOHOLS

The invention relates to a method for the production of linear long-chain alcohols with 20 to 40 carbon atoms by means of a growth reaction with ethylene on aluminium compounds.

Complexes of macrocyclic compounds

Novel macrocyclic (monocyclic and bicyclic) compounds having nitrogen bridgehead atoms and having in the hydrocarbon bridging chains at least two additional hetero atoms selected from the group consisting of sulfur, oxygen, and nitrogen, when admixed with a compatible cation-donor compound form stable cation-containing macrocyclic complexes which, in turn, can be conveniently dissociated by addition of acid or a quaternizing agent. The novel macrocyclics are valuable for use in the same way and for the same purposes as chelating agents.
