5491275 PROCESSFOR THE DEHYDROGENATION OF PARAFFINIC HYDROCARBONS Vora Bipin V; Imai Tamotsu STATES assigned to UOP

Darien, IL, UNITED

An improved process for the catalytic dehydrogenation of paraffinic hydrocarbons is disclosed. Feed paraffinic hydrocarbons are dehydrogenated by means of contacting the dehydrogenatable hydrocarbon with a dehydrogenation catalyst in a first dehydrogenation zone wherein the endothermic dehydrogenation reaction reduces the temperature of the resulting hydrocarbon stream containing dehydrogenated hydrocarbon compounds. The resulting effluent from the first dehydrogenation zone is then contacted with a hot hydrogen-rich gaseous stream having a temperature greater than the hydrocarbon stream to increase the temperature of the hydrocarbon stream and then introducing the resulting heated stream into a second dehydrogenation zone to produce additional dehydrogenated hydrocarbon compounds.

A method and an apparatus for continuous preheating of powdered starch in the preparation of modified starch are disclosed. The powdered starch is fed into a preheating circuit including an inlet opening for powdered starch in a conduit, and is pneumatically conveyed in the conduit by a hot air flow. When the powdered starch has been preheated by the air to the desired temperature, it is separated from the air in a separating device, whereupon the air is recycled in the circuit via a conduit, a fan and a heat exchanger for reheating the air, back to the inlet opening for conveying and preheating of a fresh quantity of powdered starch. If necessary, excess air can be removed from, or supplementary air be supplied to, the preheating circuit.

Disclosed is a method and apparatus for recovering acetic acid from an acetic acid/water waste stream which includes a dehydration column into which the stream is fed and a liquid-liquid extraction system for recovering acetic acid from the condensate of the overhead stream of the dehydration column. Optionally, low pressure and/or high pressure absorber systems are provided to process vapor and/or liquid streams associated with the recovery system and/or the plant in which the acetic acid is used to further the recovery of acetic acid and reduce atmospheric pollution.

The present invention discloses a process for electroless plating a metal on the surface of almost all the common nonconductive material substrates by brushing or spraying composite chemical solutions onto said surface. When practicing the present invention, metal can be quickly deposited on the surface and firmly bound with the substrate. In addition, the composite chemical solutions
