A Plasma Arc Reformer for creating a useful fuel, such as Methanol, using any of Methane, Municipal Solid Waste, farm or forest waste, coal orchar rock from oil shale production, petrochemical hydrocarbons, (any carbon containing charge), water, and/or Municipal Sewage, as the source material. A High temperature Plasma Arc de-polymerizes the source material into atoms which, upon partial cooling, creates a gas stream rich in CO and H(syngas). Subsequent molecular filter and catalyst stages in the system remove contaminants and produce the output fuel. The system is closed loop with regard to the syngas production in that it recycles the residual unconverted gas and even the exhaust gases if desired. The large amount of heat produced is captured and converted to electric power using a supercritical CORankin cycle resulting in potentially high efficiencies. 1. A method of converting a source fuel into an output fuel using a reformer , said method comprising the steps of:inputting a source fuel into the reformer;inputting a feed material into the reformer;providing one or more heat sources in the reformer for breaking down said source fuel and said feed material into one or more constituent components and/or combinations thereof;converting at least a portion of said one or more constituent components of the feed material and the source fuel and/or the combinations thereof into said output fuel using one or more catalysts;extracting excess heat from the conversion process for performing useful work; andoutputting said output fuel from the reformer.2.

Provided are methods and materials for the functionalization of a heteroalkane or arene using an oxidizing electrophile as a stoichiometric agent or catalyst. The reaction involves the replacement of a hydrogen atom on an sp3-hybridized carbon atom of the heteroalkane or of a hydrogen atom on an sp2-hybridized carbon atom of the arene. A main group element organometallic intermediate is formed that undergoes further conversion to a functionalized heteroalkane or arene. 1. A process of preparing a functionalized compound , comprising:(a) providing a compound that is a heteroalkane or an arene, wherein{'sup': '3', 'the heteroalkane comprises at least one sp-hybridized carbon atom bearing a hydrogen atom and at least one heteroatom other than a carbon or hydrogen atom, and'}{'sup': '2', 'claim-text': [{'sup': '3', '(i) one or more sp-hybridized carbon atoms,'}, '(ii) one or more heteroatoms, or', '(iii) both (i) and (ii),, 'the arene comprises at least one sp-hybridized carbon atom bearing a hydrogen, and optionally comprising'} (i) an oxidizing electrophile comprising a main group element in oxidized form, or', '(ii) an oxidant and a reduced form of the oxidizing electrophile, to provide an initial reaction product, and, '(b) contacting the compound with'}(c) contacting the initial reaction product with a functionalized reactant, wherein a functionalized portion of the functionalized reactant replaces a hydrogen on the initial reaction product to provide the functionalized compound.2. The process of claim 1 , wherein step (b) comprises contacting the compound with an oxidizing electrophile comprising a main group element in oxidized form.3. The process of claim 1 , wherein step (b) comprises contacting the compound with an oxidant and a reduced form of the oxidizing electrophile.4.

Process for Producing Phenol

Номер: US20150291493A1
Принадлежит:

In a process for producing phenol and/or cyclohexanone, a cleavage reaction mixture containing cyclohexyl-1-phenyl-hydroperoxide and cyclohexylbenzene is contacted with sulfuric acid and water under cleavage conditions effective to form a cleavage reaction effluent containing phenol, cyclohexanone, cyclohexylbenzene, water, sulfuric acid and 1-phenylcyclohexanol. At least a portion of the cleavage reaction effluent is neutralized with a basic material to produce a neutralized cleavage product and at least a portion of the neutralized cleavage product is supplied in the absence of an added dehydration catalyst to a distillation column. The distillation column is operated so that at least a portion of the neutralized cleavage product is exposed to a temperature greater than 70° C. at at least one location in the distillation column whereby at least a portion of the 1-phenylcyclohexanol in the neutralized cleavage product is dehydrated to phenylcyclohexene. 1. A process for producing phenol and/or cyclohexanone , the process comprising:(a) providing a cleavage reaction mixture containing cyclohexyl-1-phenyl-hydroperoxide and cyclohexylbenzene;(b) contacting at least a portion of the cleavage reaction mixture with sulfuric acid and water under cleavage conditions effective to form a cleavage reaction effluent containing phenol, cyclohexanone, cyclohexylbenzene, water, sulfuric acid, and 1-phenylcyclohexanol;(c) neutralizing at least a portion of the cleavage reaction effluent with a basic material to produce a neutralized cleavage product; and(d) supplying at least a portion of the neutralized cleavage product in the absence of an added dehydration catalyst to a distillation column which is operated so that at least a portion of the neutralized cleavage product is exposed to a temperature greater than 70° C. at at least one location in the distillation column whereby at least a portion of the 1-phenylcyclohexanol in the neutralized cleavage product is dehydrated to ...
