Applicants have developed a continuous process for synthesizing various molecular sieves. The process enables one to control both the particle size and particle size distribution. Any of the molecular sieves represented by the empirical formula on an anhydrous basis: rR O:(Si Al P )O , where R is at least one structure directing agent, ârâ, âxâ, âyâ and âzâ are the mole fractions of R, Si, Al and P respectively, can be prepared using this process. The process involves continuously adding separate streams comprising reactive sources of at least each framework element into a continuous crystallization reactor. Either interstage backmixing is introduced or the number of stages is adjusted in order to control particle size.

Processes for treating gas streams contaminated with fluorine-containing compounds, in addition to apparatuses for such treatment processes that may also be used to monitor the emission of these compounds, are disclosed. In the processes and apparatuses, catalytic conversion (pyrolysis) one or more fluorine-containing contaminants (e.g., perfluorocarbon) in the gas stream is carried out using a catalyst comprising tungstated zirconia or sulfated zirconia. The catalysts exhibit exceptional responsiveness, recovery, and/or activity, compared to conventional catalysts, for this purpose.

A process for the carbonylation of saturated hydrocarbons to give an oxygenated saturated hydrocarbon is disclosed and claimed. The process involves using an acidic ionic liquid catalyst to catalyze the carbon monoxide addition to the saturated hydrocarbon at reaction conditions to form an oxygenate. The acidic ionic liquid comprises a Lewis or Bronsted acid in combination with a quaternary nitrogen-containing compound. A specific example is a mixture of aluminum chloride and n-butylpyridinium chloride.

Applicants have developed a continuous process for synthesizing various molecular sieves. The process enables one to control both the particle size and particle size distribution. Any of the molecular sieves represented by the empirical formula on an anhydrous basis: rR. sub. 2 O:(Si. sub. x Al. sub. y P. sub. z)O. sub. 2, where R is at least one templating agent, "r" "x" "y" and "z" are the mole fractions of R, Si, Al and P respectively, can be prepared using this process. The process involves continuously adding reactive sources of the desired components along with a structure directing agent into a continuous crystallization reactor. Either interstage backmixing is introduced or the number of stages is adjusted in order to control particle size. Finally, one way to control particle size distribution is to split the product stream into at least two streams and flowing each stream to a wet miller operated at different severity and then reblending to obtain at least a bimodal distribution.
