Abstract:
Polyisoprene of improved green strength is prepared by reacting maleic acid with polyisoprene of a high cis 1,4 content and containing at least 3% imbibition water by feeding moist polyisoprene and maleic acid to an extruder-desiccator at a temperature in the range of 140* to 200*C and at a rate such that 0.01 to 5 parts by weight of maleic acid are fed per 100 parts of polyisoprene, whereby the reaction of the maleic acid with the polyisoprene and the desiccation thereof occur at the same time.
Abstract:
A process is described whereby a diolefin is selectively hydrogenated to an olefin in the presence of a palladium base catalyst by adding to the reaction mixture an aqueous solution of a zinc salt such as zinc acetate wherein the ratio of water/zinc is at least 1/1 by weight.

PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF BUTYL RUBBER THROUGH THE COPOLYMERIZATION OF SIOLBUTYLENE AND ISOPRENE WHEREIN THE IMPROVEMENT COMPRISES CONDUCTING THE COPOLYMERIZATION REACTION IN THE PRESENCE OF A CATALYST SYSTEM CONSISTING ESSENTIALLY OF: (A) A METALORGANIC COMPOSITION OF ALUMINUM REPRESENTED BY THE FORMULA AIR3 OR AIR2X WHEREIN X IS AN ATOM OF HALOGEN, AND R IS A HYDROCARBON RADICAL HAVING FROM 1 TO 10 CARBON ATOMS, OR HYDROGEN; (B) A HALOID OF AN INORGANIC ACID REPRESENTED BY THE GENERAL FORMULA ZNMEXMYP IN WHICH ME IS AN ELEMENT BELONGING TO THE 5*, 6* OR 7* GROUP OF THE PERIODIC SYSTEM; N AND M ARE WHOLE NUMBERS; P IS A WHOLE NUMBER OR ZERO AND THE SUM 2N+M+P IS EQUAL TO THE VALENCY OF SAID ELEMENT; Z IS OXYGEN OR SULPHUR; X IS A HALOGEN ATOM; Y IS AN ORGANIC RESIDUE SELECTED FROM THE ALKYLIC, ACRYLIC, CYCLOHEXYLIC, ETHERIC, AMMIDIC, ACETYLACETONIC AND OXIMIC FUNCTIONAL GROUPS; AND WHEREIN THE MOLAR RATIO OF COMPOUND (B) TO COMPOUND (A) IS BETWEEN 0.5 AND 10-4.
Abstract:
A device for automatically controlling a by-pass electro-valve of a catalytic muffler comprising three inlet stages, the first inlet stage is responsive to the speed or number of engine revolutions, the second inlet stage is responsive to the throttle position and includes a retarding circuit and store, and the third inlet stage is responsive to the temperature of the catalyst and includes means for comparing the temperature of the catalyst with a maximum allowable temperature (TMAX.) and a predetermined running temperature (TS). The three inlet stages are electrically coupled to an outlet stage which includes a timer for producing a pulse of predetermined duration.
Abstract:
A process is disclosed whereby a silver containing catalyst is produced, in a particle size ranging from 300 to 1,500 A, through the pulsed electrolysis of a solution of a silver salt (e.g., silver nitrate) in the presence of a complexing agent (e.g., ammonia) wherein current is fed to the solution for spaced periods of a few seconds duration. Advantageously, after about 10-15 cycles of feeding and interrupting the current to the solution, a current inversion lasting from a few seconds is effected. The silver is obtained in the form of a powder which, after washing, can be used directly or supported on a ceramic material as catalyst for the production of ethylene oxide.
Abstract:

Abstract:
A lubricating composition of mineral oil or synthetic oil is inhibited from oxidation by dissolving therein, at temperatures not higher than 80* C, from 0.001 to 10 per cent by weight of a derivative of thio-thiophthene which is represented by the general formula: WHEREIN R, R1, R2 and R3, which may be the same or different, are members of the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, alkylaryl, arylalkyl, alkoxyaryl, alkoxyalkyl, and aroxyalkyl, or R2 and R3 are combined and together represent an alkylene radical of the -CH2 - type joined directly or by an equal CH2-Ch3 group to the other alkylene radical.
Abstract:
THE PRESENT INVENTION PROVIDES A NOVEL OXIDATIVE DEHYDROCYCLIZATION PROCESS WHEREIN IMINES SUCH AS N-ETHYLIDENECYLOHEXYLAMINE ARE USED TO PREPARE INDOLE BY A REACTION IN THE PRESENCE OF OXYGEN AND A CATALYST SUCH AS SILICA.
