摘要:
Relative angular movement between two linear members is detected by shining light from a light source (11) through a triangular mask (12) in one member onto a mirror (10) in the other member and reflecting the image of the triangular mask onto a linear array of detectors (15). Movement between the two members causes different detectors in the array to be illuminated and the position and number of detectors illuminated determines the X and Y axis of movement to enable the relative angular movement of the two members to be calculated.

A protective garment is provided with means for recirculating the gases within the microclimate existing within the garment through a water/water vapour absorbent/adsorbent material.
摘要:
A method is provided for testing the activity of a catalyst for a chemical reaction in which naphthalene is reversibly hydrogenated by gaseous hydrogen into tetralin, which avoids the need to pressurise a test vessel with hydrogen, enables simple apparatus to be used and gives good accuracy. Tetralin and catalyst are introduced into a sealed container (10), the container (10) is heated to a reaction temperature for a predetermined time, and the amount of naphthalene formed by dehydrogenation is determined. The method is applicable to the measurement of catalyst activity for catalysts used in the production by hydrogenation of coal-derived liquids.
摘要:
A two stage coal extracting process has a first liquid hydrogen donor solvent oil extraction stage and a second stage comprising catalytic hydrocracking of the extract. Desired levels of hydrocracking and hydrogenation of the extract, with an acceptable level of naphthene formation, are achieved by using on the catalyst a mixture of a promoted W or Mo catalyst with an unpromoted W or Mo catalyst.
摘要:
Fine coal is briquetted using a binder which is 5-15% molasses and up to 5% of an inorganic hardening agent. An optional hot curing step gives water resistance. The briquettes show good strength characteristics and low undergrate losses during combustion.
摘要:
It has been found that synthetic microporous catalyst which are active in converting oxygen-containing aliphatics into hydrocarbons can lose activity; deactivation of the catalyst can be reduced significantly by mixing an organic additive which contains ethylenic unsaturation or a precursor therefor with the feedstock.
摘要:
A mesoporous amorphous catalyst having a majority of pores in th size range 2-10mn and being composed of an aluminium compound chemically bonded to an amorphous silica, shows conversion of oxygen-containing aliphatic compounds into hydrocarbons with surprising selectivity to aromatics.
摘要:
This invention relates to a catalyst for the conversion of synthesis gas or methanol to hydrocarbons and to a process for its production. The catalyst comprises a highly porous amorphous silica having a monolayer of an amphoteric metal chemically bonded onto up to 90% of the surface area of the silica matrix. The catalyst has a maximum pore diameter of 1.5 nm and the metal is preferably aluminium. The catalyst is produced by treating the silica with a solution of a hydrolysable aluminium compound, removing the solvent and causing the silica surface to hydrolyse the compound, thus chemically bonding the aluminium onto the surface of the silica matrix. Optionally, the catalyst is mixed intimately with a Fischer-Tropsch catalyst to enable the direct conversion of synthesis gas to hydrocarbons. The catalyst will be of use in the conversion of synthesis gas or methanol to higher hydrocarbons.
