Claim 1
Independent Claim
167 words
THE PROCESS WHICH COMPRISES SUBJECTING A SATURATED HYDROCARBON TO OXIDATION AT A TEMPERATURE OF 75* TO 300* C. WITH MOLECULAR-OXYGEN CONTAINING GAS IN THE PRESENCE OF META-BORIC ACID PRODUCE A BORATE ESTER CONTAINING REACTION MIXTURE, REMOVING VAPORS COMPRISING HYDROCARBON AND WATER FROM THE OXIDATION REACTION MIXTURE, DIRECTLY CONTACTING SAID VAPORS WITH A FIRST LIQUID FEED STREAM OF SAID HYDROCARBON THEREBY HEATING SAID LIQUID AND COOLING SAID VAPORS, SUBJECTING SAID FIRST HEATED HYDROCARBON FEED STREAM TO FURTHER HEATING UP TO 185*C. AND INTRODUCING SAID FIRST HYDROCARBON FEEF STREAM INTO SAID OXIDATION REACTION MIXTURE, CONTACTING SAID COOLED VAPORS FROM SAID DIRECT CONTACT WITH A SLURRY OF ORTHO-BORIC ACID IN SAID HYDROCARBON THERBY DEHYDRATING THE ORTHO-BORIC ACID TO META-BORIC ACID AT A TEMPERATURE OF 100* TO 160* C., FEEDING SAID META-BORIC ACID AND HYDROCARBON TO SAID OXIDATION REACTION MIXTURE, REMOVING VAPORS FROM THE DEHYDRATION AND CONTACTING SAID VAPORS WITH A SECOND LIQUID FEED STREAM OF SAID HYDROCARBON, AND PASSING SAID SECOND HYDROCARBON FEED STREAM DIRECTLY TO SAID OXIDATION REACTION MIXTURE.
