Abstract:
A process is disclosed which comprises the steps of introducing a stream of the organic liquid onto a plurality of rotating reacting surfaces, rotating the reacting surfaces at a velocity such that the organic liquid is continuously formed into a thin film on each reacting surface and is continuously moved as a thin film towards the periphery of each reacting surface by centrifugal force, depositing over each thin film a substantially undiluted stream of a gaseous medium, reacting the organic liquid and gaseous medium on said rotating reacting surfaces, maintaining the pressure during reaction at subatmospheric levels, moving the resulting reaction products in a radially outward direction along each reacting surface and collecting said reaction product. An apparatus for carrying out such process is also disclosed.
Abstract:
A stored compressed gas from a stored gas chamber is supplied with a combustion gas from a gas generating chamber in a multiplicity of units supplying a single bag directly, without intervening independent connecting, diffuser or manifold structure, the bag being held by a holding device through which the multiplicity of units extend directly into the bag.
Abstract:
This invention relates to an improvement in the method for removing dissolved aluminate from alkaline chromate leach liquor by acidification of the leach liquor to precipitate alumina hydrate which comprises, in combination, passing the leach liquor sequentially through a series of at least two agitated vessels, maintaining the liquor at a temperature of at least about 90*C., and adding acidifying agent to said vessels in amount sufficient to establish gradually decreasing pH levels in the liquor from vessel to vessel in the direction of liquor flow such that the pH in the vessel through which the liquor passes first is maintained within the range of from 10 to 13.5, and the pH in the vessel through which the liquor passes last is maintained within the range of from 6 to 9.5, so that the precipitated alumina hydrate comprises predominantly alumina trihydrate in easily filterable form.
Abstract:
A new crystalline polymorphic form of flavanthrone is disclosed. This new form exhibits only one prominent X-ray diffraction peak between 7.00 and 8.00 dA and only two prominent peaks between 3.30 and 3.75 dA. In contrast to the known form of flavanthrone, the new form exhibits desirable transparent mass tones when employed as a pigment.
WHEREIN X1 and X2 represent hydrogen, methyl or methoxy and the alkali metal salts thereof. Solutions of these dyes containing up to about 25 weight percent dissolved dye which are characterized by low viscosity and stability to gelation and dye precipitation are useful as homogeneous aqueous dye concentrates for dyeing paper and other cellulosic fibers in fast orange to red shades.
Abstract:
A multiple compartment air exhaust system comprising first and second compartments, the first compartment having a first air inlet located in its upper portion and a first exhaust opening located in its lower portion, the second compartment having a second air inlet located in its lower portion and a second exhaust opening located in its upper portion. The first exhaust opening is connected to the second air inlet by means of a conduit and means is provided for providing a positive air flow through the first air inlet, first compartment and first exhaust opening through the conduit, the second air inlet, the second compartment and the second exhaust opening.
Abstract:
Animal bedding materials, animal litter, training pads and the like, treated with an hydroxamic acid or hydroxamic acid salt in amount sufficient to inhibit the decomposition of urea to ammonia when wetted with urine.
Abstract:
When from about 0.3 to about 8% of tertiary amines formed by the reaction between I. A. a monoepoxide of greater than four carbons but not styrene oxide and B. a primary amine, a diprimary amine, a secondary amine, a disecondary amine, a primary-secondary diamine, a primarytertiary diamine, a secondary-tertiary diamine, a polyamine, and ammonia; or II. A. an alkyl monoepoxide of four or fewer carbons or styrene oxide, and B. a secondary amine, a disecondary amine, a secondary-tertiary diamine, a primary-tertiary diamine, or a polyamine having greater than two carbons per nitrogen or III. A. styrene oxide and B. ammonia ARE COATED ON NYLON FIBER, OR ARE ADDED TO THE DYEBATH IMPROVED DYEFASTNESS TO OZONE IS OBTAINED COMPARED TO AN UNTREATED DYED NYLON FIBER.
Abstract:
Gas supply device employing a seal means which on activation of the device serves as a diffuser through which the gas passes from the source to the point of use.
Abstract:
An inflatable restraining band for vehicle safety systems having a series of sections, some of which are inflatable to a greater degree than others interconnecting them.
