I think I may have made a slight miscalculation when I started this whole database. Being it's my first and not a really big database should be easily adjustable.
I have my teams table that is like this:
Now I created the team-id which is some random string. I can use that as my primary key correct? I can get rid of what I have there now the ukey field with is a primary key and is auto incremented. I don't reference that anyplace else. I do reference team-id in all my other tables and that is what I would use to create one-to-one and one-to-many queries.
Below is a sample of what in the teams table.
I think this many make my life a bit easier but I'm 100% on it. I guess after I do this like 50 more times I'll become more comfortable with it!
Thanks much in advance!

Albin de la Simone
Un Homme
(Tot Ou Tard)
US: 18 Feb 2013
UK: 26 Feb 2013
Albin de la Simone has been quietly turning out albums in his native France for a little over a decade now, updating the pop sensibilities of nouvelle chanson with each successive record. Nowhere near the level of popularity of his fellow countrymen, Benjamin Biolay, Coralie Clément and Keren Ann, de la Simone works from a point of understatement, writing low-key pop songs that take time to work their way under the skin. The singer-songwriter's newest, Un Homme, favours a softer, more delicate approach that sees him stripping away the poppier rhythms of his previous effort, Bungalow!, for a sparser, more dreamy sentiment of love.
Opening with the steady, circular strums of "Mes épaules", a folk-pop tune of simple elegance, de la Simone sets a tone of naval-gazing reticence; there's a pondering sadness to the proceedings that hovers unobtrusively. The gentle shimmer of "Ici hier" and the title-track's ticking clock-rhythms betray the unassuming charm of the singer's plaintive voice, which sooths as much as it probes. Some numbers give way to more sway, such as on the drum-shuffle pop of "Ma crise" and "Tu vas rire", adding volume to his quiet grief. But for the most part, de la Simone keeps it under his hat.

Hourly - Intermediate ($$) - Est. Time: Less than 1 week, 10-30 hrs/week - PostedSkills: Serial Port Interfacing Python Raspberry Pi
GOAL: Plug in a Raspberry Pi to a plotter using a USB-to-RS232 serial adapter to plot PLT files. You can connect to the RPi command line via SSH (I can also set up VNC access if required). I would like a little python script to be built to take data from a PLT file, and send it to the plotter to get plotted. The plotter is not connected currently to the RPi, however the USB-to-RS232 is - you can access the port to build the script. Once you're ready to test, I'll transport the RPi to the plotter location and run your script. Someone who understands serial communications is essential.

We enjoyed these but I'll admit, I was disappointed. They weren't near as moist or flavorful as I expected. They are more of a dense, cakey type muffin. I think maybe they would be better if you replaced the butter with oil (for moisture) and added more vanilla. The baking powder flavor was a tad strong too. A good muffin but there is room for improvement.

13 reviews | 5 out of 5
I used to pro bass fish and during that time I tested at least 25 different fishing lines. What I found is that, #6 as an example, Stren Magnathin had a breaking strength greater than #6 of any of the other lines I tested AND the diameter of #6 Magnathin was the same or less than #4 line of any of the competitors. Magnathin was a huge part of me finishing in the top 10 out of a field of 70 to 100 fishermen in the tourneys.
If you can find Magnathin, buy it!
Been using magnathin for 20 years. Great on spinning gear. Consistent, strong, and manageable. My go to mono for finesse applications
I bought this line per a recommendation from a friend of mine. He's been using it for over 20 years. He was right because it's thin and very strong. Great product!
This line is thinner than I expected and I am using it to tye up my fly fishing leaders. The best product that I have found for this purpose! It is thinner than even deluxe flourocarbon lines for the same test weights and much cheaper as well! I can now fish 3X tippets with 6 lb. test ratings!
I have used this line for alot of years now and I would recommend it to every one. I use it for jigging walleyes and also for pan fish because of its thin diameter.
Started using this about a year ago. Wanted a smaller diameter line that was still strong and would still cast well. It casts great and lets me have control of my lure. Not noticing any line memory problems either. If you're not using this line you should be.
I have been using Stren MagnaThin for a few years now. I like the fact that you get the feel of a thin line with the strength of heaver test lines. I fish mainly for Steelhead and Chinook salmon. I'm a firm believer that the quicker you can get a fish in the less fish you lose and the least amount of stress it will put on a fish if you want to release them. I committed to Stren MagnaThin to the point that I bought my line in 2600 yd. spools.
I have used this product for probably at least 20 years. I switched from the original because the line diameters were smaller but with the same # strength. It has incredible "castability" and in my opinion is the best for the money in this class.
Stren MagnaThin is the best line on the market today. Discovered it several years ago and will not use anything else.
This line provides smooth casts, low visability and excellent strength.
Best line available today for quality fishing.
I received this line and it has not let me down. It cast great, I had to get use to it at first, because it cast better than most and I was casting too far and getting caught in the brush! It has a low stretch which I think helps with hook sets and not getting as many loops on your stool and twist ups. It has great strength too; I purchased the 4lb test and it is a very thin diameter and has no problem bringing in 20" brown trout!
I have been using magnethin fishing line for many a year, & have never been disappointed. Thank you
I recently bought some 4lb Stren Magnathin line for Crappie Fishing. It is excellent line, extra strong and it casts great. I have been using Stren Line for fifty years and it has never let me down.
It is great for getting added strength but keeping a smaller diameter, use on my dropshot/shakey head rig and I can up my line size or two. Strong and abrasion resistent, love the walleye color

TMT could break ground in October
A groundbreaking and blessing ceremony for the Thirty Meter Telescope could be a few months away, a project spokeswoman told education and business representatives Thursday.
Speaking during a panel discussion on expanding the astronomy-related workforce on the Big Island, Sandra Dawson said the event is tentatively slated to occur in October, with major construction beginning next spring.
Previously, construction was expected to begin last April. But the $1.3 billion project has run into delays.
Most recently, critics of placing the observatory — larger than any existing optical telescope — on Mauna Kea made requests for contested case hearings before the state Board of Land and Natural Resources. That put the project's sublease, needed for construction to begin, on hold.
How the board responds to the requests remains a variable for the project.
If the requests are dismissed, the project can proceed as Dawson described. If not, it would be delayed further while contested case hearings on the sublease are held, and the sublease itself would remain in question.
The new timeline also places operation of TMT, named for its 30-meter-wide primary mirror, starting in 2022, rather than 2021 as previously anticipated, Dawson told the Tribune-Herald.
But the meeting in Hilo was more about jobs than timelines.
Dawson said the telescope would provide between 120-140 jobs.
Like other observatories, though, about 80 percent of the workforce won't be made up of astronomers. Many will be engineers or connected with information technology, she said.
Panelists — which included representatives of isle observatories, the University of Hawaii at Hilo and Hawaii Community College — noted the need to develop a local workforce to fill those jobs, positions at existing observatories and provide other services, including instrument construction.
"There are a lot of great jobs here filled with competent people," said Jim Kennedy, Hawaii County Workforce Investment Board vice chair. "Not too many are kamaaina."
Doug Simons, executive director for the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope, said there is high demand for locally-based contractors and staff.
"We're eager," he said. "You can call us desperate."
Education and workforce development will play a major role in filling that demand, panelists said.
In regard to the TMT, Dawson noted it will contribute $1 million a year for science, technology, engineering and math education on the island.
Currently, it has three interns from the island working at its office in Pasadena, Calif., she said.
TMT partners include science institutions from the United States, Canada, Japan, China and India.

Lung Disease & Respiratory Health Center
Respiratory Problems, Age 12 and Older - Prevention
There is no sure way to prevent respiratory illnesses. To help reduce your risk:
- Wash your hands often, especially when you are around people with colds.
- Keep your hands away from your nose, eyes, and mouth. These are the places where viruses are most likely to enter your body.
- Do not smoke or use other tobacco products. Smoking irritates the mucous membranes of the nose, sinuses, and lungs, which may make them more susceptible to infections. For more information, see the topic Quitting Smoking.
- If you live in an area that has problems with air pollution or smoke from wildfires:
- Avoid cleanup activities, such as raking leaves or cutting brush.
- Avoid exposure to chemicals. Do not spray or apply chemicals unless you are wearing protective clothing, such as a particle-filtering respirator, safety goggles, and gloves.
- Exercise regularly. For more information, see the topic Fitness: Getting and Staying Active.
- Get a flu shot (influenza vaccine) each year. For more information, see the topic Influenza (Seasonal Flu).
- Get a pneumococcal shot if you have chronic lung disease, such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD); if you smoke; or if you have a health risk that increases the seriousness of your symptoms. If you are age 65 or older, it is recommended you get two different types of pneumococcal vaccines.
- Make sure your immunizations are current, such as pertussis to reduce your risk of getting whooping cough. For more information, see the topic Immunizations.
- For information on preventing allergies or asthma, see the topic Allergic Rhinitis or Asthma in Teens and Adults.

South Sudan Crisis
About the Crisis
In South Sudan, more than two million people have fled their homes since fighting broke out in December 2013, including more than 770,000 South Sudanese seeking refuge in neighboring countries.
The South Sudanese people have paid the highest price. As fighting rages on, many are stuck in overcrowded peacekeeping bases that were meant as temporary housing for those who initially fled when the conflict first erupted. Children are not able to go to school, families have been torn apart, and farmers cannot harvest crops. Up to 2.4 million people—or 20 percent of the population—face life-threatening hunger. Starving people are eating water lilies and grass to survive.
Compounding these dire circumstances is the fact that humanitarian workers have been killed or are missing, harassed, assaulted or expelled from the country. Food and other humanitarian supplies have been looted. Worse still are the deliberate attacks on the men, women, and children who receive humanitarian assistance.
Despite these challenges, USAID partners are innovating daily and working against all odds to reach those in need. Heroic aid workers are navigating difficult terrain with canoes and tractors to deliver urgently needed medicines to people cut off by the fighting. The UN is constantly exploring road routes to navigate shifting conflict lines. Other humanitarian organizations are deploying mobile teams to quickly deliver aid in hard-to-reach areas.
Details About the Ongoing Response Efforts
How You Can Help
When disasters occur anywhere in the world, Americans generously offer assistance to those in need. Decades of experience in disaster relief and recovery have shown that the best way to help people affected by disaster is to make cash donations to reputable relief and charitable organizations on the ground. These groups work closely with affected communities, know what people need and how to strengthen recovery efforts.
Cash donations are the most efficient form of assistance. Unlike material donations, cash involves no transportation costs, shipping delays, or customs fees. It also enables relief organizations to spend more time providing aid by spending less time managing goods. Cash donations also allow relief supplies to be purchased in markets close to the disaster site, which stimulates the local economy by providing employment and generating cash flow.
Organizations listed on the resources below are experienced and are participating directly in relief efforts. If you would like to know more about organizations you are considering for support, you can find detailed financial and programmatic information at: GiveWell, Charity Navigator, Charity Watch, and the Better Business Bureau.
About USAID CIDI
USAID created the Center for International Disaster Information (CIDI) in 1988 one month after Hurricane Gilbert made landfall as a Category 5 storm that affected 10 countries. An outpouring of unsolicited donations took up space needed to stage and deliver life-saving relief supplies, and USAID and other responders spent valuable time managing unneeded clothing, expired medicine, and other non-critical items. USAID established the Center to educate the public about the advantages of giving monetary donations to relief organizations and the downside of donating unsolicited material goods www.cidi.org. USAID's Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance (USAID/OFDA) leads and coordinates the U.S. government's humanitarian assistance efforts overseas, responding to an average of 65 disasters in more than 50 countries every year.

Tofu Nut Balls
Total Time
Prep 30 mins
Cook 40 mins
This recipe is adapted from a cookbook called vegetarian creations. It is a big hit with meat eaters and vegetarians alike! Even kids love it. A great substitute for meatballs and they even look like meatballs.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 1⁄2 cups old fashioned oats
- 1 cup pecans
- 7 cloves garlic, crushed and minced (more if you want)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon sage
- 1 teaspoon crumbled oregano
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄8 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 8 ounces firm tofu, crumbled and drained
- 1⁄2 cup water
- olive oil, for skillet-frying
- Place oats and pecans in a blender or food processor and process until finely ground.
- Remove to a large bowl.
- Add garlic, sage, oregano, salt, pepper, and lemon juice to bowl.
- Process tofu and water in blender (or processor) until smooth.
- Add to bowl with other ingredients and stir until mixture holds firmly together.
- Shape into 1.
- 5 inch balls.
- Heat a little bit of olive oil in a non-stick skillet and skillet fry balls until reaching the desired level of brownness on all sides.
- Adding more oil if needed.
- Remove to brown bags or newspaper covered paper towels.
- Place in a baking sheet and bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until done in the middle.
- I sometimes skip this step and just flatten the balls slightly, so they will cook well on top of the stove.
- Yields about 16 balls.
- Serve over pasta cooked just al dente with some nice tomato sauce or as an appetizer.

Sorry. I have tried several vegetarian and vegan meatball recipes, and been overall happy with all of them. These fell short for me. It was so obvious they were made of oatmeal. They were dry and grainy, and as others said they don't have much flavor. They looked nice, and I will take the tip about browning quickly in a pan before baking to my other balls that tend to flatten a bit in the oven. Perhaps if they simmered in sauce for a while it would give them some moisture and extra flavor. I did take some and bake them with shells in sauce. It helped, but they still aren't the right ones for us. Thanks for the recipe all the same!
Awesome! The pecans give it such a different taste. Note this though: they don't have the exact texture as regular meatballs. I do recommend following the recipe accordingly and use FIRM tofu. Seriously, do not give a bad review until you've tried the recipe as written. Doesn't make sense! I think they tasted even better after they've been frozen. I love to throw them in a bean and pasta soup. I'm vegan and needed a meatball substitute. Reminds me, I need to buy more tofu to make these again. They store in the freezer just fine, btw.
I made these with silken tofu as some users suggested and the result was a little strange. They were kind of soft and mushy, and had a tanginess I didn't care for. Where did I go wrong?

I worked with Aric Melder (in lieu of a Realtor) throughout the process of offering to purchase a home through the closing. He knows his stuff and had my best interests in mind throughout the entire process. His schedule was flexible enough to meet my demanding work schedule when we needed to meet in person. That says a lot as I'm sure his schedule is pretty hectic. I would gladly recommend Aric and his firm for your real estate needs. In fact I am still working with him for other services (will, PoA, and Patient Advocate).
Posted by a client
After receiving bad advice from another lawyer, I contacted Aric. I was feeling defeated and at a loss. He went over my case and pointed out things I had never thought about. Not only did he win my case, he won it before seeing the judge. Worth every penny!
Posted by Dana
I have utilized Aric and his team for 8 years now. Aric first helped my family with an estate issue that had to be litigated, then helped me with my divorce and other issues pertaining to that down the road.I trust Aric. He is ethical and knows his stuff. He is an amazing litigator as well. I can't imagine going into court or handling anything legal without his expertise. I am fortunate that his firm handles so many different types of law so I don't think I will ever have to go to anyone else and wouldn't want to.
Posted by a Divorce client
First, let me say that when I was decided to get a divorce and seek a lawyer, I was pretty scared. Aric Melder is not a warm and fuzzy person. I'm not saying he should have cuddled me but he certainly didn't make me feel relaxed about the whole process. There are really three things that bothered me through this process. First, if I sent him an email, he charged me $55. It didn't matter if that email was one word long....$55. All that made me want to do was not talk to him or text him. I understand that all lawyers are probably like this but this was my first experience. Second, his initial quote for price was way off. Next, he charged me for a QDRO even though it couldn't be done. I could write more but space is limited here.
Posted by Debra
Aric Melder is kind, professional and just the person I'd want on my side in a law dispute. He called himself to set up our meetings (to write and sign a will) and was able to accommodate our busy schedule. I highly recommend him and plan on keeping his name on file for whenever I should need a lawyer.
Posted by a Real Estate client
Going to a lawyer is always nerve racking. Aric listened. Then gave us great ideas on how to handle our case. The office staff was wonderful. I felt very comfortable talking with Aric. I would recommend Melder and Melder to anyone that needs a great, professional and understanding law firm.
Posted by Joshua
I came to Aric way too late in the game. I was going through a short sale and working with a bank that seemed to be playing, "hardball." I was also looking at an ominous deficiency judgment. Aric completely exceeded my expectations. He has a passion for law and really looks out for his clients. Even my real estate agent at closing said that she was impressed by his knowledge and ability to produce results. Aric kept me in the loop at all times even if it was to say, "I have left several messages with the bank, I will let you know when I hear something." He also is very pragmatic and upfront letting us know the reality of the situation. I can unequivocally recommend Aric to get the most out of your hard earned dollars.
Posted by Rick
Aric Melder is an amazing attorney. I came in his office distraught and not sure what to do. He calmly went through all my options and I left feeling 100% confident in my choices and with my attorney. Aric is very knowledgeable and I would recommend him to anyone. Thank you, Aric.
Posted by Dana
Melder & Melder has assisted myself and family with several items from divorce, real-estate and bankruptcy over the last few years. Aric Melder is not only well versed with many different legal matters but an excellent litigator for all of them. He is responsible, ethical and you can count on him and the firm to get the job done. The firm cares about their clients and go out of their way to take care of them. Their fees are very competitive. It is hard to find the right attorney, for a price you can afford. Melder & Melder surpassed my expectations and am confident that they will do the same for their other clients as well.
Posted by a Debt Collection client
I have been incredibly satisfied with the work Aric Melder has done for me, my family and my Chiropractic practice. Over the past few years Aric has been responsible for obtaining thousands of dollars in collections from patients with outstanding balances. Much of this is money that I never thought I would see. He has also done outstanding work with several family members and their estate plans. They couldn't be happier! Thank you Aric for all of your help.

The story from this point on escalates, Billy tells the truth as he sees it, his Dad is annoyed at the interference and Billy's mother doesn't know what to think. The love between Billy and his Dad shines off the page, but life in this household is pressured before this incident and the investigation doesn't improve matters.
Billy's story is told in a mixture of his own words, cow sill for council, and natural history facts. Billy's conversations both with other people and to himself frequently go off at a tangent and having had a son this reminded me of some of those seemingly endless conversations. Despite being written from a child's perspective the story keeps up a good pace and I rattled through it.
This book reminds us all that sometimes doing or saying the wrong thing at the wrong time can have a huge impact on so many lives.
The central storyline of What I Did could happen to any family. Imagine, you are out in the park with your six year old son. Both of you are in a bad mood - it's early, you have work worries, you'd rather be in bed. Suddenly your son runs off, over the park, through the trees and makes his way towards a busy road. You chase him, shouting for him to stop. You see him run out between parked cars, you see the traffic, your heart thuds. He's lucky, he stops, he's unhurt. You grab him - you smack him. You are so relieved that he is OK, but so damn angry too.
And so, that is the beginning of the story. Narrated by six year old Billy, and seen purely through his eyes, with his kind of mixed up feelings about his angry Dad and his pure innocence and honestly, that only cause the family more and more heartache.
Billy is a wonderfully drawn character, bright as a button, intelligent, obsessed with David Attenborough and wild animals and the attention span of an ant. At first his voice is a little difficult to relate to, he often muddles his words and at times he goes totally off-track, into random observations and information relaying. This only adds to his character, and makes him more lifelike. Six year old boys are like that, this is real life.
Somebody saw Jim (Billy's Dad) smack him, she confronted him and Jim told her where to get off - that was his second mistake, after the mistake of smacking Billy.Read more ›
"This is family life at its most believable: warm messy and raging." (E Donoghue, author of Room).
Stylistically it owes a lot to Mark Haddon's"The Curious Incident of the Dog at the Night Time," having a child narrator whose linguistic and perceptual confusions of the world are embedded in the narration. This serves this particular tale very well. Billy is a warm, loveable and loving boy whose confusions and misunderstandings make us smile whilst propelling events in some startling and uncomfortable directions.
His father, Jim, is the other main protagonist and his voice is strong on every page, usually in his counsels and asides to his son that Billy remembers, ending them with the concluding "Son." This is a lovely device that helps bring this father -son relationship to life. And it's this relationship and that of the whole family that is endangered by one particular string of events (hyperactive Billy gets upset with Dad and runs off in the playground, across a road, nearly gets run over, fraught Dad smacks him, a passer-by comments, Dad further loses his temper (verbally) with the passerby, whole exchange gets reported to social services).
Everything that happens in this book is convincing and has its roots in the believable myriad of pressures that a family operates under these days; work, constant pressures from mobiles, national and global events we feel powerless under, the emotional pressures that come with real familial relationships, demands on time, need for space and so on.Read more ›

Lucy's shouting routine has made her lungs quite strong and powerful.
It's interesting that Lucy is entering the scene. Why is that so? Would there be a difference if there was only Linus shouting? What does it mean that Lucy is puzzled?
In my opinion it says something about CB's feelings. This is a rare moment where he wishes he could be like Lucy, loud, active, self-assured. Usually he is repelled by such behavior. CB is CB because he isn't and doesn't want to be like Lucy.
But here his friend Linus is acting like Lucy and Lucy is NOT acting repulsive. The walls around his identity are coming down. He knows that Linus is right, he gives up defending his passiveness, that's why Lucy enters the scene and is not shown as a bully.
Hello again, 1969.
Not quite, it was published on July 20 1968, one year before the Apollo 11 launch.
The storyline of July 1969 was all about the red-haired girl moving away, Apollo 11 wasn't mentioned.
As a bug you can get away with anything.
As we'll see the next few days there's a parade of birds marching past Snoopy. So, this is not the same bird as the one with the question mark sign from yesterday's strip. And it's not Woodstock. Maybe those birds should all be colored blue or in different colors.
He's waiting for the panel discussion.
Peanuts.com says this strip appeared first on July 1 1968. So, after following the 1969 timeline for a while, we jumped back a year. Obviously because of the election year.
CB even fails in regretting a failure.

California, here comes the Big Ten! Later today, the Big Ten will announce agreements to send teams to the Holiday Bowl in San Diego and the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl in San Francisco, beginning with the 2014 season. The Pac-12 will be the foe in each bowl. The Big Ten had a tie-in with the Holiday Bowl from 1986-94. Illinois played in the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl after the 2011 season.
It's time of the week for me to reach into my mailbag. Some good correspondence this week, as my Big Ten stadium rankings seemed to rankle many people and drive a few debates.
I continue my look at each week of the Big Ten 2013 schedule, and I move on and examine Week 10 today. My game of the week? It has to be Michigan at Michigan State. Michigan State needs no motivation vs. Michigan. Before losing, 12-10, last year in Ann Arbor, Michigan State had won four in a row in this oh-so-heated rivalry. So, the Spartans know they can beat the Wolverines. Reasserting its power in this series is critical for Michigan State in its quest for a successful season. But Michigan wants to begin a run of dominance of its own.

This invention relates to catalysts and processes for the production of olefins and partial oxidation products of hydrocarbons by the catalytic oxidative dehydrogenation of such hydrocarbons.
The production of olefinic hydrocarbons and partial oxidation products is a very important industrial process. Olefins and hydrocarbon derivatives containing oxygen are very important intermediates in the petrochemical industry, and substantial increases in demand in future are expected. Substantial efforts be therefore been directed towards the production of such compounds by catalytic dehydrogenation and oxidation. Reactions of commercially interest include:
Methanol, formaldehyde and higher hydrocarbons from methane.
Ethane to ethylene, ethylene oxide.
Propane to propylene, propylene oxide and acrylic acid
Iso-butane to iso-butylene.
n-butane to butenes and maleic anhydride.
Iso-butene, propylene to methacrylonitrile, acylonitrile.
Ethyl benzene to styrene.
It is known from the prior art that hydrocarbons can be converted to unsaturated materials by various dehydrogenation processes, including the following:
1. Dehydrogenation:
(I) The Oleflex process, based on the synergistic combination of dehydrogenation of C1 to C14 and catalytic reforming of naphtha. (ii) The Catofin process, developed in 1940s, in which the hydrocarbon is vaporised with steam, preheated to the reaction temperature and then fed to the reactor. (iii) The Phillips Steam Activated Reforming dehydrogenation, known as the Star process, developed in late 1970s and early 1980s. Steam is used as diluent, feed is preheated before feeding to the reactor. (iv) The FBD-4 process, using the Snamprogetti-Yarsintez process.
Among the best known catalysts for dehydrogenation are chromium- and platinum-based catalysts; both may be optionally supported on such materials as alumina, zirconia and the like. The platinum-based catalysts exhibit a tendency to skeletal isomerisation, producing a small quantity of isomerisation products.
The dehydrogenation reaction is strongly endothermic and the conversion per pass is limited by thermodynamic equilibrium. This is a high energy consumption process and many undesirable reactions occur such as feedstock crack and coking of the catalyst.
2. Oxidative Dehydrogenation:
This process has been extensively investigated because in theory it permits more dehydrogenation to occur. Since water is a by product instead of hydrogen, this process does not have a thermodynamic equilibrium limitation and coke formation can be eliminated. However, it is a major challenge to achieve high conversion to product, i.e. to achieve maximum yields of desired product(s) while minimising the combustion activity which may occur at the high temperatures required to activate hydrocarbons. Therefore, the production of olefins or partial oxidation products from the corresponding alkanes by oxidative dehydrogenation has not so far been successful. The conversion of n-butane to maleic anhydride is the only successful industrial practice in selective oxidation of alkanes.
It is further known that the oxidative dehydrogenation can be carried out more efficiently in the presence of halogens or halogen-based compounds, for example iodine, hydrogen iodide or ammonium iodide. However, this process has not gained commercial success due to the prohibitive cost of iodine.
Industrial interest has stimulated numerous investigations into methods of improving the performance of catalysts, particularly in relation to the influence of catalyst texture.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to overcome, or at least alleviate, the difficulties presented by prior art processes as outlined above.
The present invention provides a novel catalytic system which catalyses the oxidative dehydrogenation of hydrocarbons, e.g. alkanes to corresponding alkenes or partial oxidation products.
The catalyst system of the present invention, is characterised by the fact that it catalyses oxidative dehydrogenation selectively at relatively low temperatures at which secondary reactions are minimised. Such highly selective catalysts may also find further applications in the catalytic separation of hydrocarbons or in synergistic combinations with other reactions.
According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a novel catalyst for the oxidative dehydrogenation of hydrocarbons which comprises a chromium oxide supported on a lanthanide carbonate.
The supported chromium oxide can be present in any oxidation state and can be chemically bound to the support surface or present as a separate crystalline phase.
The atomic ratio of chromium to lanthanide may be in the range of approximately 0.1:99.9 to 99.9-0.1, but preferably lies in the range of 1:99 to 20:80.
The catalyst may also contain one or more additional components which alter its activity and selectivity. These additional components may be selected from oxides or carbonates of the metals of Groups IA and IIA, the transition metals, the lanthanides or mixtures thereof.
The catalysts of the invention may be prepared by any suitable known technique, such as co-precipitation, impregnation or physical mixing.
In this context:
"co-precipitation" means the co-precipitation of the chromium oxide and lanthanide carbonate, or the precursors, e.g. from aqueous solutions of the metal salts;
"impregnation" means impregnation of a solid form of one of the catalyst components (or a precursor thereof) with, e.g., an aqueous solution of a salt of the other metal;
"physical mixing" includes mixing the catalyst components or precursors thereof;
"precursor" means any compound of the metal(s) which is capable of being converted to the required oxide or carbonate by physical and/or chemical treatment.
The preferred process is co-precipitation and accordingly, in a further aspect, the invention provides a process for producing a catalyst, which comprises the steps of:
providing a solution containing ions of chromium and one or more lanthanides;
adding a source of carbonate ions to the solution to thereby co-precipitate carbonates of the two metals;
separating the precipitate from the solution;
washing and drying the precipitate;
and heating the precipitate to a temperature sufficient to activate the catalyst.
The solution containing the chromium and lanthanide ions may be prepared from any suitable source(s), such as solid, hydrated or anhydrous compounds containing any suitable anions including chloride, sulphate, nitrate, or carboxylic acid anions such as acetate, or the like. Alternatively, a solution of the desired metal(s) may be produced by dissolving an insoluble source such as the metal, oxide, carbonate or mixtures thereof, in a stoichiometric or in an excess amount of an acid, containing any of the above anions.
The additional components defined above may be incorporated into the catalyst in the required proportions by adding as pure solids (mixing) or liquids (impregnation) or by co-precipitation with the primary catalyst components, as described above.
In a preferred embodiment, the overall process for preparation of the catalyst is comprised of the following steps:
(i) Mixing a solution containing the mixed metal ions with a solution containing carbonate or bicarbonate ions, to precipitate the metal carbonates. The source of carbonate or bicarbonate can be an aqueous solution of any alkali metal or ammonium carbonate salt. A particularly convenient source of carbonate ions, with regard to ease of subsequent purification, is commercial "ammonium carbonate", which comprises a mixture of ammonium bicarbonate and ammonium carbamate in the ratio of about 5:1. The precipitation may be carried out at any temperature from ambient to 60� C. and in any suitable manner.
(ii) Separating the precipitate (as a gel) from reaction mixture by any standard method, such as centrifugation or filtration. Washing the gel repeatedly with distilled water, followed by subsequent dehydration by washing the gel with a water miscible organic solvent such as an alcohol or ketone, preferably acetone.
(iii) Removing the organic solvent from the solid material, e.g. by drying under a stream of air to dryness.
(iv) Converting the catalyst precursor into the activated catalyst by an appropriate thermal treatment. This activation step can be carried out by heating in air or any inert atmosphere up to 600� C., but preferably between 200�-450� C.
The catalyst surface area is proportional to chromium loading and varies from 20 to 300 m2 /g.
According to a further aspect of the invention, there is provided a process for the oxidative dehydrogenation of hydrocarbons, which involve the use of a catalyst as defined above.
The reaction which may be carried out over the catalyst system provided by this invention include the following:
Methane activation.
Oxidative dehydrogenation of alkanes, especially light alkanes, to the corresponding alkenes and oxygenates.
Ethyl benzene to styrene.
For oxidative dehydrogenation of light alkanes, as the gaseous hydrocarbon, there may suitably be used methane, ethane, propane, butanes or mixtures thereof. For the higher (liquid) hydrocarbons, the operation may be carried out in conjunction with vaporisation of the hydrocarbon.
The process of the invention can be carried out in the presence or absence of molecular oxygen-containing gas and in any suitable reactor, such as a fixed-bed, fluidised-bed or a riser reactor.
When the process is carried out in the absence of molecular oxygen, the catalyst is regenerated, as required, by contact with air or other oxygen-containing gases. The regeneration process can be carried out at the normal reaction temperature or higher.
To further illustrate the process of this invention, the following examples are provided. It should be understood that the details thereof are not to be regarded as limitations and various modifications may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.
I. Preparation of Supported Chromia/Lanthanum Carbonate Catalyst:
This example illustrates the preparation of catalyst containing supported chromia/lanthanum carbonate with Cr/La atomic ratio of 10/90, or 3.5 wt % Cr2 O3 /La2 (CO3)3, (i.e. 3.5 wt % Cr2 O3 and 96.5 wt % La2 (CO3)3).
A mixture of Cr(NO3)3.9H2 O (0.8 g) and La(NO3)3.6H2 O (7.9 g) in H2 O (250 ml) was slowly added to an aqueous solution of commercial ammonium carbonate (5 g in 250 ml H2 O) with vigorous stirring. After addition, the precipitate was separated by centrifugation and washed twice with 0.5 l of water and then twice with 0.5 l acetone. Initial drying in an air stream at room temperature was followed by calcination in air at 250� C. for 4 hr.
II. Catalytic Oxidative Dehydrogenation of Hydrocarbons:
The following examples illustrate a preferred embodiment of the present invention, that is the production of iso-butene from iso-butane in a pulse mode reactor. The following conditions were employed:
Temperture: 200�-280� C.
Catalyst: 0.200 mg
Pressure: 150 KPa
Pulse size: 4.25 μmol iso-butane
Space velocity: 0.102 mol g-1 h-1
The catalyst was prepared in accordance with the procedure described above. In this example, the catalyst, consisting of 10 wt % Cr2 O3 /La2 (CO3)3 calcined in air at 300� C. for 4 hr, was packed in the pulse reactor and heated to 230� C. After 6 pulses of iso-butane were introduced, an average selectivity for iso-butene of 95% was obtained, yielding 0.54 g iso-butene/kg catalyst. The average carbon balance was 97%. The catalyst activity decreased by >50% over the first 6 pulses; the catalyst was regenerated by exposure to 2 pulses of pure oxygen at the reaction temperature (230� C.). The results are summarised in Table 1.
The same catalyst was tested at temperatures of 220�, 230�, 240�, 250� and 260� C. The iso-butene yields were 0.52, 0.54, 0.71, 0.71, 0.69, 0.60 g/kg catalyst respectively. This example shows the effect of reaction temperature on the yield of iso-butene.
Five catalysts consisting of 1.4, 3.5, 5.5, 10, 25 wt % Cr2 O3 respectively supported on La2 (CO3)3 were tested at 240� C. After 6 pulses, the iso-butene yields were 0.65, 0.76, 0.76, 0.70, 0.15 g/kg catalyst respectively. La2 (CO3)3 alone was inactive for the reaction at 240� C. This example shows the effect of chromium loading on the performance of the catalyst and the results are summarised in Table 2.
Catalysts consisting of 3.5 wt % Cr2 O3 calcined at 250�, 300�, 350� and 400� C. in air were tested at 240� C. After 6 pulses the iso-butene yields were 0.87, 0.76, 0.61, 0.14 g/kg catalyst respectively. This example shows the effect of calcination temperature.
A catalyst consisting of 3.5 wt % Cr2 O3 /La2 (CO3)3 was calcined in He at 300� C. for 4 hr and tested at 240� C. After 6 pulses, the average selectivity was 99% and the yield of iso-butene was 0.68 g/kg catalyst.
A catalyst consisting of 3.5 wt % Cr2 O3 /La2 (CO3)3 was impregnated with (NH4)2 Ce(NO3)6, calcined at 300� C. to yield a 0.1 wt % CeO2 promoted catalyst and tested at 240� C. After 6 pulses, an average selectivity was 99% and the iso-butene yield was 0.84 g/kg catalyst.
A catalyst was prepared as in Example 6, but the promoter was 0.1 wt % Na2 O, prepared by impregnation with NaNO3, prior to calcination. The average selectivity was 99% and the iso-butene yield was 0.52 g/kg catalyst.

A catalyst was prepared in accordance with the procedure described above using Pr(NO3)3 as a starting material. In this example, the catalyst, consisting of 10% mol Cr2 O3 supported on Pr2 (CO3)3, calcined in air at 300� C. for 4 h, was tested. After 6 pulses, the average selectivity was 84%, and the yield of isobutylene was 0.67 g/kg catalyst.
A catalyst was prepared in accordance with the procedure described above using Sm(NO3)3 as a starting material. In this example, the catalyst, consisting of 10% mol Cr2 O3 supported on Sm2 (CO3)3, calcined in air at 300� C. for 4 h, was tested. After 6 pulses, the average selectivity was 94%, and the yield of isobutylene was 0.67 g/kg catalyst.
