Disclosed are a reaction tower, a production system, and a production method for producing potassium manganate. The reaction tower includes a reaction tower body and a bubble generator. The reaction tower body has a reaction chamber. The bubble generator includes an outer housing. The outer housing is disposed in the reaction chamber and has a gas flow channel therein. The outer housing is configured to direct an external reactant gas into the gas flow channel. The outer housing is provided with multiple first pores each having a diameter less than 10 mm, via which the gas flow channel communicates with the reaction chamber. The reaction tower is used in the production system. The reactant gas is introduced into the reaction chamber in the form of small bubbles by the action of the bubble generator, to increase the area of contact of the reactant gas with manganese ore powder and lye.

Systems and methods for producing light olefins via catalytic cracking of naphtha are disclosed. A naphtha feed stream and lift gas stream are fed into a dense phase riser reactor operated with a high solid volume fraction, a high superficial velocity, minimum back mixing. The effluent stream from the dense phase riser reactor is further separated, in a secondary reactor, to form a gaseous product stream and a catalyst stream. The catalyst stream is stripped to remove the hydrocarbons adsorbed on the catalyst particles. The stripped catalyst is regenerated in a regenerator.

Retro-aldol processes are disclosed that use very low concentrations of retro-aldol catalyst in combination with hydrogenation catalyst of certain activities, sizes and spatial dispersions to obtain the high selectivities to ethylene glycol.

An apparatus and method for the dry separation of bulk particulate material, especially coarse particles, is provided. The apparatus comprises a chamber, a screen adjacent the chamber and a fluidising device fluidly connected to the chamber. The screen has a screen surface, a plurality of apertures and an opening larger in size than the aperture. A mixture of the coarse particles and a fine particulate medium is fed into the chamber. The fluidising device directs a fluidising fluid to fluidise a fine particulate medium and create a fluidised bed directed towards the screen. The fine particulate medium and the coarse particles pass from the chamber through the openings. The fine particulate medium passes back through the apertures to the chamber. Relatively high density coarse particles also pass back through the openings to the chamber. Relatively low density coarse particles are retained on the screen surface. Vibrations may also be used.

The present invention relates to an improved process for producing iron oxide red pigments by the Penniman process using nitrate (also referred to as nitrate process or direct red process) and apparatuses for carrying out the process.

A method for fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) of petroleum oil feedstock includes reacting the petroleum oil feedstock with a catalyst mixture in a reaction zone of an FCC unit to obtain a product stream including desulfurized hydrocarbon product, unreacted petroleum oil feedstock, and spent catalyst. During the reacting a process control system develops a process model based on data collected during the reacting, the process model characterizing a relationship among the feed rate of the base cracking catalyst, the feed rate of the FCC additive, the operating conditions, the composition of the product stream, and emissions from the reaction; and one or more of (i) a target feed rate of the base cracking catalyst, (ii) a target feed rate of the FCC additive, and (iii) one or more target operating conditions of the reaction in the reaction zone to reduce the emissions from the FCC unit and to increase a yield of the desulfurized hydrocarbon product in the product stream are determined.

An eductor, a process and apparatus for gas phase polymerization of olefins in a polymerization reactor are disclosed. The process and apparatus employ an eductor which has an inlet which makes a bend of less than about 90° toward the outlet after entering the mixing chamber of the eductor.

The present invention discloses processes for oligomerizing an olefin feedstock containing C.sub.4 to C.sub.20 alpha olefins using a catalyst system containing a metallocene compound, an organoaluminum compound, and a suspension of a chemically-treated solid oxide. The liquid medium for the suspension of the chemically-treated solid oxide can be an alpha-olefin oligomer product formed by the oligomerization process.
