TL;DR: In this article, reduced pressure etching of thermal oxide in anhydrous HF gas with three different alcoholic solvent vapors is studied. And the etch rates are interpreted in terms of alcohol vapor pressure, HF ionization, and reaction product desorption.
Abstract: Reduced pressure etching of thermal oxide in anhydrous HF gas with three different alcoholic solvent vapors is studied. Thermal oxide etch rates as functions of temperature, pressure, time, and HF partial pressure are presented for methanol, ethanol-water azeotrope (95.6% ethanol, 4.4% water), and 2-propanol (isopropyl alcohol). The etch rates are interpreted in terms of alcohol vapor pressure, HF ionization, and reaction product desorption. The efficient desorption of reaction products compared to vapor HF/H 2 O is believed to be responsible for both the wider process window for alcoholic solvents and the alleviation of the solid residue formation problem. Among the alcoholic solvents studied, methanol has the best potential while 2-propanol can also be useful in selected applications

TL;DR: In this paper, a highly integrated process for concurrently producing diisopropyl ether and an isoprophyl tertiary alkyl ether has been developed, where the effluent of the first reactor is separated into an ether rich stream, a water rich stream and an alcohol rich stream.
Abstract: A highly integrated process for concurrently producing diisopropyl ether and an isopropyl tertiary alkyl ether has been developed. Optionally, high purity isopropyl alcohol may also be collected as a product. In a first reactor, propylene and water are reacted to form isopropyl alcohol, a portion of which is further reacted to form diisopropyl ether. After removing unreacted propylene, the effluent of the first reactor is separated into an ether rich stream, a water rich stream and an alcohol rich stream. The alcohol rich stream is dried to provide dry isopropyl alcohol. A portion of the dry isopropyl alcohol may be removed and collected as a product. A portion of the dry isopropyl alcohol and isobutylene, isoamylene or a mixture thereof are reacted to form an isopropyl tertiary alkyl ether in a second reactor. Unreacted iso-olefins and inert compounds are then removed from the second reactor effluent. A mixture of the effluent from the second reactor and the ether rich and the water rich streams separated from the first reactor are water washed to produce a mixed ethers product stream and an aqueous isopropyl alcohol recycle stream. The isopropyl tertiary alkyl ether is collected along with the diisopropyl ether in the mixed ethers product stream from the water wash. A modified flowscheme of the process is also discussed.

Abstract: Solvent formulations used in thinning oil-based resins and in cleaning equipment contaminated with oil-based resins include mixtures of constituents with low-, or no-toxicity and flash points generally considered to be above flammability levels. The formulations are compatible with such resins and further have drying characteristics suitable for most users. The solvating power and drying characteristics of these formulations are equivalent to turpentine and mineral spirits, but without the safety concerns associated with those thinners. The formulation components of the present invention include propylene glycol ethers comprising no more than 60% by weight of the solvent mixture, no more than 10% by weight of an isoalkane compound, and no more than 30% by weight of an oxidizing oil, and no more than 30% by weight of an odor-masking compound, preferably d-limonene. Further optional constituents include no more than 15% by weight of propylene glycol, no more than 20% by weight of isopropyl alcohol or ethyl alcohol, and no more than 10% by weight of an isoalkane compound.

TL;DR: In this paper, the rate-limiting step is mainly the decomposition of a termolecular complex to products, and it is shown that electron-donating substituents at the 4-position enhance the catalytic activity.
Abstract: 2,2′-Bipyridyl and some substituted compounds catalyze effectively the oxidation of isopropyl alcohol by chromic acid. The reaction is first order in chromium(VI), alcohol and 2,2′-bipyridyl; it is first order in hydrogen ions at high acidity and slightly alters to second order at low acidity. The proposed mechanism shows that the rate-limiting step is mainly the decomposition of a termolecular complex to products. However, at low acidity, the formation step of this complex is a little less reversible and hence somewhat rate-limiting. Electron-donating substituents at the 4-position enhance the catalytic activity. Electron-withdrawing substituents at the 4- and 2-positions diminish the reaction rates by electronic and steric factors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the poisoning effect of Co3O4 on both supports and the activity of the catalysts is discussed, and the vapour phase decomposition of isopropyl alcohol over these catalysts was studied.
Abstract: Catalysts containing 20 wt.% Co3O4 supported on γ-Al2O3 and MgO were prepared. The catalyst precursors were analyzed by TG, DTG and DTA, and the calcined catalysts (400-700 °C) were characterized by XRD. The amount of excess surface oxygen for the catalysts was estimated iodometrically. The vapour-phase decomposition of isopropyl alcohol over these catalysts was studied. Co3O4/γ-Al2O3 catalysts are selective towards propene formation, whereas Co3O4/MgO catalysts are selective towards acetone formation. The poisoning effect of Co3O4 on both supports and the activity of the catalysts is discussed.

TL;DR: The nonvolatile residue monitor (NRM) operated in the batch mode has been investigated for measuring residue after evaporation (RAE) of isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and acetone as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: The nonvolatile residue monitor (NRM) operated in the batch mode has been investigated for measuring residue after evaporation (RAE) of isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and acetone. IPA, acetone, and water were doped with known concentrations of known contaminants and then measured with the NRM to determine its calibration for these liquids. The calibrations were measured with different types of contaminants and with different drying temperatures. The NRM's calibration was identical for IPA, acetone, and water when calibrations were performed with water-soluble contaminants. Less ideal behavior was observed with water-insoluble contaminants. The NRM's performance in evaluating high purity semiconductor grade isopropyl alcohol and acetone was also investigated. RAE levels were measured in solvents purchased from four different suppliers to the semiconductor industry. The NRM was able to differentiate between the suppliers.
