摘要:
A fire extinguisher nozzle (11) including a horn (19) defining a discharge chamber (21) and a discharge member (20) mounted to the horn (19). The discharge member (20) includes an entry passageway (26) for receiving fire extinguishant from a source therefor. The entry passageway (26) communicates with a plurality of transverse discharge passageways (27) and a central, axial passageway (28) for delivering the fire extinguishant into the discharge chamber (21) of the horn (19). Improved throw characteristics for fire extinguishants are achieved.
摘要:
The present invention provides processes for recovering alkanols from fluids comprising the alkanol and aqueous hydrobromic acid without forming excessive amounts of alkyl bromide. In certain aspects of the invention, there are provided distillation systems wherein a fluid comprising an alkanol and aqueous hydrobromic acid is introduced into a distillation column at a point between the bottom and the top of the column to thereby separate the alkanol and the hydrobromic acid without causing the production of significant amount of alkyl bromide.
摘要:
Flame retardancy is provided to polymer resins by adding to the resin a bisaryl diphosphate that has not been purified to remove catalyst or catalyst residue from the product. The bisaryl diphosphate may be prepared by a two-step process that starts with the semi-continuous addition of dry bisphenol A to a heated mixture of phosphorous oxychloride and MgCl, and concludes with the addition of dry phenol to the step one intermediate.

A method for delivering a liquid fire suppression composition to a fire includes storing the fire suppression composition and a pressurized gas in separate containers, detecting the occurrence of a fire to be suppressed, within about 60 seconds of detecting the fire coupling the pressurized gas with the fire suppression composition to superpressurize the composition, and emitting the superpressurized fire suppression composition to the fire. The method is particularly adapted for use in a total flooding system.
摘要:
A process to prepare aryldiphosphate esters without forming an emulsion in the product. In one embodiment of this process the ester is formed by initially reacting a phosphoryl oxyhalide with a dihydric aromatic compound in the presence of an insoluble catalyst to form an intermediate. The intermediate is then reacted with a monohydric aromatic compound in the presence of an insoluble catalyst to form the aryldiphosphate ester and the catalyst is then filtered from the aryldiphosphate ester. In another form of this process the ester is formed reacting a dihydric aromatic compound in the presence of an insoluble catalyst with a compound corresponding to the formula (RO)2POX, where X is bromine or chlorine and R is aromatic and contains no more than 1 ortho substituent. Thereafter, the catalyst is then filtered from the aryldiphosphate ester.
摘要:
A method of making flame retarded polyurethanes by including a bromobenzoate compound in the polyurethane mixture. Also disclosed is a method of making flame retarded polyvinyl chlorides, unsaturated polyesters and epoxy resins by incorporating a bromobenzoate compound into the polymer system. The bromobenzoate compounds ofthe invention may also be used as plasticizers for PVC and rubber.
摘要:
Osmo-adjusting solutes, particularly polyols and/or monosaccharides, are used to control the growth of plants. In particular, aqueous solutions of sorbitol or xylitol are used to reduce plant height and increase stem diameter. The solutions preferably include between about 0.05 and about 25 weight percent of the osmo-adjusting solute, and are applied to the root zone by drenching regularly or prior to transplanting. The solutions are also shown to be effective for conditioning plants for hardiness against certain environmental and handling stresses.
摘要:
Flame retardant latex compositions are disclosed which include natural or synthetic latex grafted with ring-halogenated, ethylenically unsaturated aromatic monomers. The graft latex is used alone or in combination with non-grafted natural or synthetic latex. The compositions are useful as coatings for a wide variety of applications, including fabric backcoatings, carpetings, paints, adhesives, sealants, caulks, non-woven binders and so on.
摘要:
A process for the solventless polymerization of brominated styrenes includes blending monomers of brominated styrenes with a polymerization initiator, feeding the monomer/polymerization initiator mix into a prepolymerizer wherein the monomers begin to polymerize, and feeding the monomer/polymerization initiator mix and the partially polymerized bromostyrene into a screw-type extruder to drive the polymerization to a high degree of completion in a short period of time. Optionally, the monomers may be preheated before mixing with the initiator, or a heater may be included in the prepolymerizer.
摘要:
Methods and compositions for generating stable, residual disinfectants during the ozonization of water, comprising the carrying out the ozonization of water in the presence of bromide ions and an effective amount of a hypobromite ion scavenger possessing imide and/or amide functionality that preferentially converts hypobromite ions to biocidal, ozone-stable derivatives thereof to thereby suppress the catalytic decomposition reaction of ozone with hypobromite ions. The methods and compositions of the present invention are useful for water disinfection and algae control, generally.
