摘要:
Purified biuret is recovered from mixtures containing biuret and higher molecular weight urea condensation products by contacting melts or solutions of such mixtures with a polar adsorbent and extracting biuret from the adsorbent with a polar desorbent. The useful biuret-containing mixtures also may contain urea. These methods are capable of recovering biuret of 99.9 percent plus purity from mixture containing higher molecular weight urea condensations products such as triuret, melamine, ammelide, and others. The biuret-containing desorbent can be recycled into contact with biuret-containing adsorbents to increase its biuret concentration, concentrated by evaporation of otherwise, and/or treated to crystallize biuret. An integrated process is provided which involves pyrolyzing urea to form biuret and higher molecular weight condensation products and selectively recovering biuret from the resulting pyrolyzed urea as described.
摘要:
Methods are provided for removing biuret from biuret-containing aqueous urea solutions which methods involve contacting a quantity of a biuret-containing aqueous urea feed solution with the hydroxide ion form of an anion exchanger under conditions sufficient to remove at least a portion of the biuret from the feed solution, and regenerating the resulting biuret-containing anion exchanger, at least in part, by contact with a substantially non-alkaline aqueous regenerant under conditions sufficient to remove at least a portion of the biuret from the anion exchanger. After completion of the described contacting with the substantially non-alkaline aqueous regenerant, the anion exchanger can optionally be further regenerated by contact with an aqueous solution of a strong base to remove additional quantities of biuret and/or other anion exchanger contaminants such as alkaline earth metal and carbonate ions and/or compounds. Methods are also provided in which one or more of the aqueous process streams which contact the anion exchanger have been treated (or comprise aqueous media which have been treated) to reduce the concentration of alkaline earth metal compounds and/or carbonate in such aqueous process streams.

Methods are provided for recovering purified biuret from aqueous solutions containing biuret and higher molecular weight urea condensation products by contacting such solutions with the hydroxide ion form of an anion exchanger and extracting biuret from the ion exchanger with an aqueous extractant. The useful biuret-containing solutions also may contain urea. These methods are capable of recovering biuret of 99.9 percent plus purity from solutions containing higher molecular weight urea condensations products such as triuret, melamine, ammelide, and others. Elevated temperatures increase biuret recovery rate and concentration, and the extractant can be recycled into contact with additional biuret-containing anion exchangers to increase biuret concentration even further. The biuret-containing extract can be employed as is, concentrated by evaporation or otherwise, or treated to crystallize biuret. An integrated process is provided which involves pyrolyzing urea to form biuret and higher molecular weight condensation products and selectively recovering biuret from an aqueous solution of the resulting pyrolyzed urea as described.
摘要:
A stabilized fumigant composition comprises an aqueous solution containing up to about fifty percent by weight of a solute which comprises ammonia, hydrogen sulfide and carbon disulfide. Elemental sulfur can also be a component of the solute. One preferred composition comprises a solution wherein the molarity of hydrogen sulfide is about 1.5 times the molarity of carbon disulfide, and is about one-half the molarity of ammonia, and wherein the molarity of sulfur is about 1.6 times the molarity of carbon disulfide.The composition decomposes in a soil environment to form sources of available plant nutrients, including ammonia, hydrogen sulfide and sulfur, and carbon disulfide which inhibits nitrification and decreases the nematode population. Nutrient content can be enhanced by the addition of, for example, ammonia, ammonium nitrate, urea and mixtures thereof to the formed composition.The composition can also be decomposed by dilution or heat application, or both, to yield its components for non-soil fumigation uses.
摘要:
The monourea adduct of sulfuric acid, when combined with water, has the unique ability to ablate the surface of wooden articles without charring or otherwise disfiguring the surface of the wooden article. Thus, wooden articles can be treated to accomplish a variety of purposes by contacting the surface to be treated with a composition containing the monourea adduct of sulfuric acid. Such compositions comprise mixtures of urea and sulfuric acid in which the molar ratio of urea to sulfuric acid is within the range of 1/4 to about 7/4 so that at least about 25 percent of the sulfuric acid is present as the monourea adduct. Such treatment can be employed to modify the dimensions of the article surface, remove stains, mars or other markings, accentuate the hard grain of the article surface, emboss the surface with a predetermined pattern, or accomplish other objectives that result from generally or selectively ablating the article's surface.
摘要:
Homogeneous sulfur-hydrocarbon blends comprising a continuous sulfur matrix containing hydrocarbon, and methods of manufacture and use are described. These materials are particularly suitable as soil supplements, for comminution, or for compounding with hydrophobic materials such as elastomers and oil-based paints. Several advantages are apparent in essentially any application involving storage or transport.
摘要:
The relative crushing strength of porous sulfur particles formed by quenching molten sulfur in a highly turbulent zone created by the intersection of the molten sulfur stream and a high velocity water stream is controlled by controlling the temperature of the molten sulfur introduced into the turbulent zone. The hardness of the porous particles increases as sulfur temperature is increased.
摘要:
This invention relates to methods of producing multicomponent soil additives. The compositions comprise particle-form combinations of calcium sulfate and a nitrifier selected from urea, ammonium nitrate, and combinations of these, in which the nitrifier particles are coated with a layer of the reaction product of hydrated calcium sulfate and urea, ammonium nitrate, or both. This layer, in turn, contains an additional soil additive such as elemental sulfur or the major and minor plant nutrients such as phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, copper, zinc and the like. The particles are produced by reacting the particle-form nitrifier, preferably urea or ammonium nitrate prills, with hydrated calcium sulfate intimately mixed with one or more additional soil additives and a binder supplement comprising powdered urea and/or ammonium nitrate having particle sizes below 30 mesh. Reaction is promoted by heating to a temperature sufficient to initiate the endothermic reaction without melting or thermally decomposing the nitrifier.
摘要:
Urea cyanurate is obtained by heating urea to temperatures above 190.degree. C. in the presence of catalytic amounts of elemental sulfur. Cyanuric acid is obtained by hydrolysis or pyrolysis of the urea cyanurate product.
摘要:
Phosphoric acids having H.sub.2 0/P.sub.2 O.sub.5 mole ratios of about 4.5 or less are converted to aqueous solutions of ammonium polyphosphates of which at least about 40 percent of the P.sub.2 O.sub.5 is present as acyclic polyphosphates. The reaction is conducted at 500.degree. to about 750.degree. F. sufficient to increase the polymeric P.sub.2 O.sub.5 content at least 10 percent by reacting a highly dispersed, unconfined acid spray with substantially anhydrous ammonia. High conversions to polymeric species are obtained while minimizing both reactor fouling when using impure wet-process acids, and corrosion occurring with either wet-process or "white" acids.
