摘要:
In a process for producing a hydrogen-containing gas, a hydrocarbon feed gas and steam are introduced into a reaction vessel containing a complex metal oxide and steam-hydrocarbon reforming catalyst thereby forming a combustible gas mixture comprising hydrogen. A regeneration gas comprising greater than 0.1 volume % oxygen up to and including 2 volume % oxygen is introduced into the reaction vessel to displace at least a portion of the combustible gas mixture from the reaction vessel. Subsequently, additional regeneration gases may be introduced into the reaction vessel. Numerous means for providing various regeneration gases are presented.

摘要:
Fine powders of iron with less than 5% by weight graphite, copper, and an organic binder can be formed into shapes having a green density of up to about 7.4 g/cc and sintered in a hydrogen containing atmosphere to yield parts having minimum variations in physical properties. Incorporation of small quantities of copper, e.g. 1% or less by weight, negates variations in physical properties of sintered parts that were subjected to variations in the hydrogen content of the sintering atmosphere.

The present invention discloses an improved process for producing plastic containers with excellent resistance to permeation by solvents such as hydrocarbons, hydrocarbon fuels, and hydrocarbon fuels with organic additives including lower alkanols and ethers consistently and reliably. The process is related to a multi-step treatment of plastic containers in a controlled manner with fluorine containing gases while blow molding them. In the process of the present invention, a parison is formed from a pre-heated thermoplastic material, expanded within a closed mold by means of an inflating gas for conforming the parison to the shape of the mold, and subjected to multiple fluorination treatment steps to effect fluorination of the interior surface of the parison. In the first step of the multi-step fluorination treatment the parison is pressurized with a reactive gas containing from about 0.05 to about 0.54% fluorine by volume while the parison is at a temperature above its self supporting temperature and for a time sufficient to effect fluorination of the interior surface of the parison. Subsequently, the interior surface of the pre-fluorinated parison is pressurized with a reactive gas containing fluorine in a concentration that is greater than that used in the initial fluorination step for a time sufficient to form said fluorinated parison with excellent resistance to solvent permeation. The parison is purged with an inert gas, vented and the container recovered. The key requirements for producing containers with excellent resistance to solvent permeation consistently and reliably include (1) minimizing and/or eliminating the molecular oxygen contaminant in the parison while treating it with fluorine containing reactive gas and (2) selecting the concentration of fluorine in the reactive gas for the first and subsequent fluorination treatment steps in such a way that it eliminates both under and over fluorination of the inside surface of the parison.
摘要:
Aluminum or aluminum alloys are brazed in the presence of a non-corrosive flux using a low-cost, substantially dry nitrogen atmosphere produced by a non-cryogenic air separation technique such as a pressure swing adsorption (PSA) or a selective permeation (membrane). The use of a substantially dry, non-cryogenically produced nitrogen atmosphere brazed aluminum or aluminum alloy components with consistent good brazed joint quality and appearance while utilizing low loading of the flux.
