An improved process for preparing water-soluble copper salts of carboxylic acids is described. More particularly, the improved process comprises the steps of (A) providing a mixture comprising (A-1) as a copper source, copper metal, a copper oxide or mixtures thereof, (A-2) at least one organic monocarboxylic acid containing about 10 to about 30 carbon atoms, (A-3) at least one alkanolamine compound characterized by the formula R. sub. 1 (R. sub. 2)NH wherein R. sub. 1 is a hydroxyalkyl group and R. sub. 2 may be hydrogen or a hydroxyalkyl group, and (A-4) water, (B) treating the mixture with oxygen at a temperature up to about the reflux temperature of the mixture until the desired water-soluble copper salt is obtained, and (C) recovering the copper salt as an aqueous solution. The mixture (A) can be modified to include one or more dyes to produce colored solutions of the water-soluble metal salts. The water-soluble copper salts prepared in accordance with the method of the invention are useful in a variety of applications, particularly as a preservative for wood.

In the extractive distillation of C. sub. 5 hydrocarbons with different degrees of unsaturated using acetonitrile, an increase in the selectivity of acetonitrile is obtained when also using with acetonitrile small amounts of at least one compound selected from the group consisting of dimethylformamide, dimethylsulfoxide, morpholine, furfural, N-methylpyrrolidone, 3-methoxypropionitrile, gamma-butyrolactone, ethylene glycol monomethyl ether, diethylene glycol monomethyl ether, ethylene glycol monoethyl ether, and diethylene glycol monoethyl ether.

Water dispersible compositions containing hydrocarbon wax are described which are useful in preparing aqueous water repellent systems. Aqueous water repellent systems containing a hydrocarbon wax also are described. The water repellent system comprises an aqueous system comprising water, a saturated hydrocarbon wax, at least one oil-soluble metal salt of an organic carboxylic acid, at least one surfactant and at least one hydrocarbon solvent. A process for impregnating permeable substrates such as wood, cloth, concrete, rope, etc. with the water repellent system is also described. Penetration of the various components into the substrate is obtained by brushing, dipping, soaking, spraying or immersion at atmospheric pressure, at elevated pressures or under vacuum. The oil-soluble metal salt often is a fungicide. Moreover, additional components can be contained in the aqueous system such as insecticides, colorants, flame retardants, moldicides, wood stabilizing agents, etc.

An improved process for preserving wood by impregnating the wood with metal salts is described. More particularly, the improved process comprises the steps of (A) contacting wood in a vessel with a solution containing at least one soluble metal salt of an organic carboxylic acid under conditions of time, temperature and pressure which are sufficient (i) to effect penetration of the solution into the wood, and (ii) to maintain the metal:acid ratio in the solution removed from the wood in step (B) substantially the same as the metal:acid ratio in the solution used to impregnate the wood in this step (A), (B) removing at least some of the solution from the wood by reducing the pressure within the vessel, and (C) subsequently heating the wood to a temperature sufficient to fix the metal to the wood. The solutions utilized in the above process may be either aqueous solutions or hydrocarbon solutions, and the solutions may contain other desirable components in addition to the metal salts such as insecticides, flame retardants, water repellants, etc. In a preferred embodiment, the metal salt of the organic carboxylic acid utilized in the process is a fungicide.
