conversion process

Question

I have several questions concerning this passage.

1. Which is better: 'process of conversion' or 'conversion process'?

2. Can I say 'good quality benzines'?

3. Should I use 'getting' or 'obtaining'?

4. Is 'sulphurous compounds of paltinum' ok, does it exist? Thank you.

Processes of conversion/Conversion processes:alkilation, isomerization and catalytic reforming

These are secondary, catalytic processes for getting/obtaining purified, good quality benzines for blending. As catalysts are used: Sulfate or Hydrofluoric Acid (H2SO4 or HF), sulphurous compounds of platinum, halogenized aluminium or antimon, molybdenum, cobalt and others.

Few -tentative !- answers, Antonija.

1. I prefer 'conversion process'

2. I'd rather say 'high quality benzines'.

3. Obtaining is good in this context (formal english).

4. It seems 'platinum sulfides' would exist. An I suppose 'sulfide' or 'sulphide' means 'sulphur compound' : this is what the '-ide' suffix is usually about...

:-) I agree with you, Waïti, on the first three. I'm not so happy about the 'sulphides', but could be.

Conversion processes:alkylation, isomerization and catalytic reforming

These are secondary, catalytic processes for obtaining purified, high quality benzines for blending. Various catalysts are used: sulphuric or hydrofluoric Acid (H2SO4 or HF), platinum sulphur compound, halides of aluminium or antimony, molybdenum, cobalt and others.

if you can get the original author to give you the chemical formulae for these -

platinum sulphur compound, halides of aluminium or antimony, molybdenum, cobalt and others -

I can give you a more precise version.

Hi,

Thank you very much. I'll try to get in touch with the author and than I'll let you know.
