摘要:
An acidic aqueous coating composition comprising dissolved phosphate, dissolved aluminum, dissolved dichromate, inorganic colloidal particles and a water miscible organic component including an effective film-forming amount of a water miscible material comprising an ether of a polypropylene glycol, and preferably including also another glycol material, for example, a mono-ethylene glycol material or a mono-propylene glycol material, for use in forming a glaze coating, or a base coating when said composition includes also a particulate material.
摘要:
A pigment comprises a material comprising crystalline zinc selenide or selenosulphide below 40% of whose zinc atoms and optionally some of whose selenium and sulphur atoms are substituted to lower the band gap energy but retain the essential crystal lattice of the zinc selenide or selenosulphide, the resulting lattice containing a greater percentage of zinc atoms than of sulphur atoms. The material wherein at least 0.1% of the zinc atoms are substituted is a new composition of matter.
摘要:
Pollutants from the exhaust of a lean running internal combustion engine are reduced by the engine having an exhaust catalyst capable of oxidising hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide and reducing NO x to nitrogen and being fitted with engine management means arranged to provide transient additional enrichment during periods of acceleration. A novel exhaust catalyst for this purpose is carried by a washcoat and is capable of oxidising hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide and reducing NO x to nitrogen and contains in addition 0.1 - 20% by weight of iron based on the total weight of catalyst and washcoat.
摘要:
Catalysts, particularly for combating air pollution from the exhaust gases of internal combustion engines, consist essentially of an intimate mixture of copper oxide and ceria, the weight of the copper oxide being less than the weight of the ceria.

A chimeric plasmid vector contains (a) a tetracycline resistance gene region derived from the plasmid pAMal of Streptococcus faecalis, (b) an ampicillin resistance gene region derived from the vector pACYC177 of Escherichia coli, (c) a DNA replication origin derived from said plasmid pAMal, (d) a DNA replication origin derived from said vector pACYC177, and (e) a polylinker region having a recognition and cleavage site for the restriction enzyme EcoRI at one terminal and a recognition and cleavage site for the restriction enzyme HindIII at the other terminal of the polylinker region, the plasmid vector having unique recognition and cleavage sites for the restriction enzymes Ba/I, Hpal and EcoRV, which sites are located in said tetracycline resistance gene region, and the plasmid vector having unique recognition and cleavage sites for the restriction enzymes Pvul, Bg/l and BanI, which sites are located in said ampicillin resistance gene region. The vector is useful for conveying a gene into a host cell, usually of a bacterium, and the host can then be employed in biosynthesis of industrial products.
摘要:
Metallic zirconium, hafnium or titanium is prepared by bringing a fluorine-containing compound thereof into contact with heated metallic aluminium or magnesium, to convert the fluorine-containing compound into the corresponding metal.
摘要:
A method of introducing a donor DNA into a strain belonging to the genus Lactobacillus, comprises preparing spheroplasts of the strain, encapsulating donor DNA within liposomes to obtain DNA-encapsulating-liposomes, and allowing the DNA-encapsulating-liposomes to fuse with the spheroplasts in the presence of a fusion inducing agent such as polyethylene glycol. The donor DNA may be provided in the form of recombinant DNA molecules prepared as a vector having inserted therein suitable phage DNA, plasmid DNA or heterogenic DNA retaining useful genetic information. Examples of the phage DNA include the DNA of the virulent phage J1 and the DNA of the temperate phage φFSW selectively retained in the genus L. casei.
摘要:
A glass frit is prepared by heating an initial glass frit in the presence of a reducing agent so as to reduce metal moiety in the glass structure of the frit and then cooling the reaction mixture. Preferably, the frit prepared is used in a method of forming electrically conducting silver tracks on enamel on glass windows, by applying to window glass an enamel composition containing the frit and on top thereof a silver composition in the shape of the tracks and firing the compositions, such that on the firing the reduced metal moiety reduces silver ions migrating through the enamel composition from the silver composition to elemental silver and thereby prevents or impairs them from interacting with the glass to form visible tracks.
