Low temperature synthesis of methyl formate

Patent Mahajan, D; Slegeir, W A; Sapienza, R S; ...

In the simultaneously occurring gas reactions (a) 2CO+2H/sub 2/..-->..HCOOCH/sub 3/ and (b) CO+2H/sub 2/..-->..CH/sub 3/OH catalyzed by a catalyst system composed of a complex reducing agent of the formula XH-ROH-M(OAc)/sub 2/ wherein X is an alkali metal, M is selected from the group consisting of Ni, Pd or Co and R is a lower alkyl group containing 1-6 carbon atoms and a Group VI metal carbonyl, the improvement described here favors driving the reaction to the right in (a) which comprises using the catalyst system as a homogeneous liquid phase catalyst and pressurizing the system which synthesis gas containing aboutmore »« less
Low-temperature synthesis of actinide tetraborides by solid-state metathesis reactions

Patent Lupinetti, Anthony J [Los Alamos, NM]; Garcia, Eduardo [Los Alamos, NM]; Abney, Kent D [Los Alamos, NM]

The synthesis of actinide tetraborides including uranium tetraboride (UB.sub.4), plutonium tetraboride (PuB.sub.4) and thorium tetraboride (ThB.sub.4) by a solid-state metathesis reaction are demonstrated. The present method significantly lowers the temperature required to .ltoreq.850.degree. C. As an example, when UCl.sub.4 is reacted with an excess of MgB.sub.2, at 850.degree. C., crystalline UB.sub.4 is formed. Powder X-ray diffraction and ICP-AES data support the reduction of UCl.sub.3 as the initial step in the reaction. The UB.sub.4 product is purified by washing water and drying.

Liquid phase low temperature method for production of methanol from synthesis gas and catalyst formulations therefor

Patent Mahajan, Devinder

The invention provides a homogenous catalyst for the production of methanol from purified synthesis gas at low temperature and low pressure which includes a transition metal capable of forming transition metal complexes with coordinating ligands and an alkoxide, the catalyst dissolved in a methanol solvent system, provided the transition metal complex is not transition metal carbonyl. The coordinating ligands can be selected from the group consisting of N-donor ligands, P-donor ligands, O-donor ligands, C-donor ligands, halogens and mixtures thereof.
