Described herein is fluorinated dye comprising: a fluorescing coumarin-derived moiety connected to an oligomer of hexafluoropropylene oxide via a non-fluorinated divalent linking group. Such fluorinated dyes are soluble in fluorinated fluids and may be used to detect leaks in various systems such as refrigerant, air conditioning and/or heat transfer systems.
The present invention relates to a process for producing carboxylic acids. It relates more particularly to a process for producing carboxylic acids by oxidation of a hydrocarbon with oxygen or a gas containing oxygen, and even more particularly to the oxidation of cyclohexane to adipic acid. The invention relates to a process for producing carboxylic acids by oxidation with oxygen or a gas containing oxygen of a cycloaliphatic hydrocarbon in the presence of an oxidation catalyst and of a monocarboxylic oxidation solvent that is lipophilic in nature, comprising a step of extraction of the dicarboxylic acids formed in the oxidation step, consisting in carrying out, in liquid phase, an extraction of the diacids using water.
A process for the production of carboxylic acids by oxidation of a hydrocarbon by oxygen or a gas containing oxygen and notably to the oxidation of cyclohexane to give adipic acid; the subject process entails a stage of oxidation of the hydrocarbon and at least one stage for extracting the dicarboxylic acids formed from the reaction medium and optionally recycling the unconverted hydrocarbon with oxidation by-products, such as alcohols and ketones, and which also includes a stage of conversion, removal or extraction of the α,ω-hydroxycarboxylic compounds formed during the oxidation stage and converting these compounds into diacids.
The present invention relates to a process for the oxidation of hydrocarbons, in particular of branched or unbranched saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons, of cycloaliphatic or alkylaromatic hydrocarbons or of alcohols and/or ketones, to acid or polyacid compounds.
It relates more particularly to the oxidation, by an oxidizing agent comprising molecular oxygen, of cyclohexane and/or of cyclohexanol and/or cyclohexanone to adipic acid, in the presence of an aromatic organic acid and a manganese-based catalyst. The yield and selectivity for adipic acid are of a high level with respect to those obtained with other solvents and catalysts.

The invention relates to methods and systems for selective removal of catalyst residue from a depolymerization product stream without a water quench, as well as methods and systems for subsequent recovery of residual linear oligomer. The substantially metal-free and substantially water-free residual oligomer byproduct can then be advantageously used as recyclate in a process for preparing MPO. For example, the residual oligomer recyclate can be used as a reactant in the polymerization and subsequent depolymerization (cyclization) of low-acid polyester to form MPO.
