In this review, we discuss the recent advances in process technology with special focus on improvements of para-isomer selectivity and catalyst stability. Extensive patent search and discussion on technology development are presented. The key criteria for process development are identi®ed. The working principles of para-isomer selectivity improvements involve the reduction of diffusivity and the inactivation of external surface. In conjunction with the fundamental research, various practical modi®cation aspects particularly the pre-coking and the silica deposition techniques, are extensively reviewed. The impact of para-isomer selective technology on process economics and product recovery strategy is discussed. Furthermore, perspective trends in related research and development are provided. # 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved. Keywords: Disproportionation; Transalkylation;

Burrow Behlen Laboratory of Physics, University of Nebraska, Lincoln, Nebraska 68588 The concept of occupied and unoccupied orbitals has provided a useful means for visualizing many of the most important properties of mo- lecular systems. Yet, there is a curious imbalance in our experimen- tal knowledge of the energies of occupied and unoccupied orbitals. Whereas photoelectron spectroscopy has provided a wealth of data on positive ion states and has established that they can be associated, within the context of Koopmans’ theorem, with the occupied orbitals of the neutral molecule, the corresponding information for the neg- ative ion states, associated with the normally unoccupied orbitals, is sparse. In part this reflects the experimental difficulties connected with measuring the electron affinities of molecules which possess sta- ble anions.

  • Classification Tests for Hydrocarbons Using Solubility, Ignition, Nitration, Baeyer’S Test, Bromine Test and Basic Oxidation Test
    CLASSIFICATION TESTS FOR HYDROCARBONS USING SOLUBILITY, IGNITION, NITRATION, BAEYER’S TEST, BROMINE TEST AND BASIC OXIDATION TEST Jasher Christian Boado, Alyanna Cacas, Phoebe Calimag, Caryl Angelica Chin, Haidee Cosilet, John Francis Creencia Group 2, 2BMT, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Santo Tomas ABSTRACT Hydrocarbons are classified as saturated, actively unsaturated, aromatic or an arene based on various classification tests involving test for solubility in concentrated H2SO4, ignition, active unsaturation using Baeyer’s test and Bromine test, aromaticity using nitration test, and basic oxidation test. This experiment aims to differentiate the intrinsic physical and the chemical properties of hydrocarbons, and to determine if it is saturated, actively unsaturated, aromatic or an arene. The sample compounds hexane, heptane, cyclohexane, cyclohexene, benzene and toluene were analyzed for their physical state in room temperature, color, and odor. Using solubility test, a drop of a sample was added cautiously into 1ml of concentrated H2SO4. Using the Baeyer’s Test and/or Bromine test in which 2 drops of 2% KmnO4 solution and 10 drops of 0.5% Br2 in CCl4 reagent, respectively, was added into 5 drops of a sample in a dry test tube, was shaken vigourously until the reagent is decolorized compared with water. Using Nitration test, 8 drops of nitrating mixture was added into 5 drops of a sample in a dry test tube, was observed for the formation of a yellow oily layer or droplet and was diluted with 20 drops of water. Using Basic Oxidation test, 8 drops of 2% KmnO4 solution and 3 drops of 10% NaOH solution was added into 4 drops of a sample in a dry test tube and was heated in a water bath for 2 minutes.

  • Disproportionation of 1,2,4-Trimethylbenzene Over Zeolite NU-87
    Korean J. Chem. Eng., 17(2), 198-204 (2000) Disproportionation of 1,2,4-Trimethylbenzene over Zeolite NU-87 Se-Ho Park, Jong-Hyung Lee and Hyun-Ku Rhee† School of Chemical Engineering and Institute of Chemical Processes, Seoul National University, Kwanak-ku, Seoul 151-742, Korea (Received 27 September 1999 • accepted 30 December 1999) Abstract−The catalytic properties of zeolite NU-87 were investigated with respect to the disproportionation of 1, 2,4-trimethylbenzene and the results were compared to those obtained over H-beta and H-mordenite with 12-mem- bered ring channel system. In the conversion of 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene, the disproportionation to xylene and tetra- methylbenzene is preferred to the isomerization into 1,2,3- and 1,3,5-isomers over all the three zeolites, but this trend is much more pronounced over HNU-87 owing to its peculiar pore structure. Disproportionation reaction is found to proceed within the micropores of HNU-87, whereas isomerization occurs mainly on the external surface. The high selectivity to disproportionation gives more xylenes and tetramethylbenzenes over HNU-87. The detailed descrip- tions for the product distribution are also reported. Key words: NU-87, 1,2,4-Trimethylbenzene, Disproportionation, Isomerization INTRODUCTION EXPERIMENTAL Disproportionation of trimethylbenzene (TMB) to xylene and 1.
