HIMONT Incorporated SPHERIPOL TECHNOLOGY HIMONT PROPRIETARY IMPROVEMENT #.9, RELATED TO RAW MATERIALS EFFECT OF PROPYLENE CONTAMINANTS HIMONT is being continously studying the effect of contaminants potentially present in propylene on the yield and the stereospecificity of catalyst. Enclosed is the list of all potential contaminants and their relative effect is shown. All these data where obtained in a laboratory scale reactor in liquid propylene. NoTE: Many of these contaminants are not normally present in propylene.SPHERIPOL TECHNOLOGY IMPROVEMENT #.., RELATED TO RAW MATERIALS wu EFFECT OF PROPYLENE CONTAMINANTS ae quter guroty Sonat 2 Tat BOs os We Ay yoke ole poison eve, omgn tia nenownes weer 22, Y eno potsow REPORT | HOI) | += MILEAGE LOSS —-- | XE LOSS JAF LosS)HF GAIN} [paar no] FACTOR | S| 10% | 28 | 1k | SON] SORT Propylene oxice | 20 | 1000 0.005 | 0.010 | 0.020) 90.1) | = Jesseeeeeh Prosphire |S LS [0.007 [0.013 {0.035 | 7 testoe (SLL ata | ovate | 0.035 | “| slo carten Yeneaise | Acetomere —} a] 80} L200} L200} 0.800 a “| Carbonyl Suifige { 108] 42 | 0.000} 0.100] oe = 6} | 18 t Ethylene oxide | oa} 2 1 I Le + [eseeeeeol paliacion, act.
