A two or particularly three-phase process, and corresponding apparatus, desulfurizes sour hydrocarbon gas, e.g., natural gas, generally better than known, using a fixed-bed, two-phase processes in terms of the amount of H.sub.2S scavenged and the breakthrough time of H.sub.2S. The three-phase process is effective in scavenging H.sub.2S at ambient temperature and pressure, using a copper salt catalyst impregnated on alumina or other generally inert support, which is regenerable.

A new synthetic route to a 2,2-dimethyl-4,4-diiodoazobenzene compound using homo-oxidative cross-coupling of an aryl diazonium salt using a Cu-catalyzed Sandmeyer-style reaction.

A sorbent composition that is useful for injection into a flue gas stream of a coal burning furnace to efficiently remove mercury from the flue gas stream. The sorbent composition may include a sorbent with an associated ancillary catalyst component that is a catalytic metal, a precursor to a catalytic metal, a catalytic metal compound or a precursor to a catalytic metal compound. Alternatively, a catalytic metal or metal compound, or their precursors, may be admixed with the coal feedstock prior to or during combustion in the furnace, or may be independently injected into a flue gas stream. A catalytic promoter may also be used to enhance the performance of the catalytic metal or metal compound.

The present invention relates to a preparation method for a tedizolid compound in Formula I. In Formula I, R is selected from hydrogen, formula A, formula B, benzyl or benzyl substituted by a substituent, the substituent is selected from a group consisting of halogen, nitryl, C.sub.1-C.sub.6 alkyl, and C.sub.1-C.sub.6 alkoxy, and R.sub.1 is C.sub.1-C.sub.6 alkyl or C.sub.1-C.sub.6 alkyl substituted by halogen. The method comprises: generating a compound having a structure as shown in Formula C and a compound having a structure as shown in Formula D by a coupled reaction under the catalysis of a metal catalyst, a substituent of R being defined as above, where X is a leaving group, the leaving group comprising chlorine, bromine, iodine, and sulfonyl oxy such as trifluoromethane sulfonic oxy, methylsulfonyl oxy and benzenesulfonyl oxy, or benzenesulfonyl oxy substituted by one or more substituents, the substituent being selected from a group consisting of halogen, C.sub.1-C.sub.6 alkyl, and C.sub.1-C.sub.6 alkoxy. ##STR00001##
