A catalyst including gold, or a compound thereof, and sulphur, a compound of sulphur, trichloroisocyanuric acid or a metal dichloroisocyanurate on a support, together with a process for manufacturing the catalyst and its use in a chemical process are described.

A catalyst including gold, or a compound thereof, and sulphur, a compound of sulphur, trichloroisocyanuric acid or a metal dichloroisocyanurate on a support, together with a process for manufacturing the catalyst and its use in a chemical process are described.

The present invention relates to improvements in known gold containing catalysts. In particular, the present invention relates to improving the stability and/or inhibition of deactivation of gold containing catalysts via the addition of an inorganic oxide, hydroxide, oxo-salt or oxo-acid. There is also disclosed a method for preparing said catalyst most suitably via an impregnation method. Such catalysts are useful in the production of vinyl chloride monomer.

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.

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.

The present invention relates to the production of biodiesel and alkyl esters by the transesterification of triglyceride esters, with alcohols in heterogeneous phase in the presence of heterogeneous catalysts, with yields higher than 80%, at a temperature from 0 to 300? C., residence time from 20 minutes to 20 h, space velocity of 0.1 to 10 h.sup.?1, pressure of 25-100 kg/cm.sup.2 (24.5-98.07 bar), methanol/oil molar ratio of 10 to 40 and catalyst concentration of 0.001 to 20 weight % based on tri-, di- or monoglyceride. The method produces biodiesel and alkyl esters by transesterification of tri-, di- or mono-glycerides, from palm, jatropha, castor, soybean and sunflower oils, wherein the alcohoxyls R.sup.1O, R.sup.2O and R.sup.3O of the glycerides are C.sub.1 to C.sub.24 and a C.sub.1-C.sub.4 alcohol, such as methanol, in an alcohol:oil ratio from 3:1 to 50:1. The transesterification reaction produces biodiesel while avoiding loss of catalyst, contaminating liquid effluents and eliminating undesirable hydrolysis of triglycerides, diglycerides and monoglycerides into free fatty acids and saponification that generate soaps.
