Abstract:
A reference voltage generator circuit is provided for use with an extremely low power supply voltage. The reference voltage generator circuit produces a lower reference output voltage which is compensated for temperature variations and is independent of changes in the supply voltage. The reference output voltage relies upon the threshold voltage V.sub.T of a MOSFET transistor as a reference source.
Abstract:
An improved process for the purification of wet-process phosphoric acid (WPPA) with acetone and ammonia. The main product is the purified acid and a byproduct is the impure acid fraction in a liquid form containing most of the impurities including the added ammonia. The WPPA is mixed with acetone and the specified amount of ammonia to form two liquid phases that separate rapidly. The top layer contains about 75 percent of the phosphoric acid, nearly all the acetone, and a small fraction of the impurities. The bottom liquid layer has a viscosity usually in the range of 40 to 2500 centipoises, depending on the acid concentration and the amount of ammonia used. The acetone is distilled from the two liquid phases for recycle to the process.
Abstract:
Unusually high-analysis low-temperature-stable solution-type fertilizers are produced by mixing urea and phosphoric acid with urea-ammonium nitrate solution (UAN). The ratio of P.sub.2 O.sub.5 to total nitrogen and the ratio of CO(NH.sub.2).sub.2 --N(nitrogen) to NH.sub.4 NO.sub.3 --N(nitrogen) must be maintained within broad specified parameters in order to ensure the production of the instant high-analysis clear-liquid fertilizers which are stable at temperatures as low as 0.degree. C. For example, to produce a 35 percent total plant nutrient (TPN) product, the weight ratio for P.sub.2 O.sub.5 :N (total) must be within the range of about 0.316 to about 0.538, the weight ratio of urea-N to NH.sub.4 NO.sub.3 --N+P.sub.2 O.sub.5 must be in the rang of 1.41 to 1.59, and the weight ratio of CO(NH.sub.2).sub.2 :NH.sub.4 NO.sub.3 must be in the range of 15.25 to 3.75. Similar solutions may be produced by dissolving solid urea and ammonium nitrate in pure or impure phosphoric acid or by utilizing urea.H.sub.3 PO.sub.4 obtained from impure wet-process type phosphoric acid or by mixing the urea phosphate with UAN. The pH of the resulting product solutions ranges from 2.0 at P.sub.2 O.sub.5 :N (total) of 0.33 to a pH of 1.6 when the P.sub.2 O.sub.5 :N (total) is 0.5.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to the reaction of phosphate rock with nitric acid and urea to produce nitrogen-phosphorus containing slurries, which slurries may be granulated and dried to produce solid N-P fertilizer products with agronomically advantageous low pHs (1.1-4.0). Products with optimum physical and chemical properties were discovered by investigating the characteristics of each individual material as a function of the nitric acid acidulation ratio (mole ratio HNO.sub.3 :CaO) and the mole ratio urea:CaO present in each product. Acidulation ratios ranged from 1.2 to 2.1 while ratios urea:CaO ranged from 1.6 to 4.0. Selected products with optimum physicochemical properties are tabulated below:______________________________________ Acidulation Ratio Ratio Melting HNO.sub.3 :CaO, M/M Urea:CaO, M/M Grade Pt, .degree.C. ______________________________________ 1.2 2.2 23.8--11.7--0 137-139 1.4 2.4 25.0--11.0--0 136 1.6 2.8 25.9--9.9--0 133-137 1.8 3.0 26.4--9.2--0 134-135 2.0 3.3 27.2--8.7--0 130 2.1 3.2 36.6--8.8--0 125-130 ______________________________________ Acidulation P.sub.2 O.sub.5 Solubility, Critical Rela- Ratio % pH of 1% tive Humidity HNO.sub.3 :CaO, M/M Water Citrate solution at 25.degree.

Flocked textile materials are disclosed as a support media for bacteria that actively biochemically convert noxious chemical species. Flocked fibrous netting materials as bioconversion support media are favorable to biological growth and provide excellent liquid (e.g. wastewater) flow through its structure as well as accommodating aeration processes. The disclosed support materials can be geometrically designed and positioned in many ways including stacked sheets/plies, rolled sheets in single or multi-walled tubes, and continuous belts or webs that can be self-cleaning and configured to operate in an automated process control mode. The disclosed support media facilitate development of compact and durable biofilter structures at a low cost.
