Abstract:
Methods are provided of producing electrolytic diaphragm cells are provided comprising a plurality of vertical substantially flat and hollow anodes formed, as regards at least one of their two substantially parallel faces, by a sheet of a film-forming metal, said anodes being secured to the base of the cell by means of extended portions which pass through the base, characterized in that the extended portions comprise a core made of a metal which is a good electrical conductor, which core is covered by a sheath made of a film-forming metal, a good electrical contact being ensured between the sheath and the core.
Abstract:
Process for the preparation of a latex, containing large particles, of a rubber polymer comprising a homopolymer or copolymer of a conjugated aliphatic diolefin. The process comprises polymerizing the diolefin in aqueous emulsion and introducing a polyalkyleneglycol in the course of polymerization when at least 40% by weight of polymer is formed. The latices produced can be used for the preparation of foams and for the synthesis of graft polymers.

Electrolytic diaphragm cells are provided comprising a plurality of vertical substantially flat and hollow anodes formed, as regards at least one of their two substantially parallel faces, by a sheet of a film-forming metal, said anodes being secured to the base of the cell by means of extended portions which pass through the base, characterized in that the extended portions comprise a core made of a metal which is a good electrical conductor, which core is covered by a sheath made of a filmforming metal, a good electrical contact being ensured between the sheath and the core. The core of the extended portions is exposed where it passes through the base of the cell, with the electrical connection between the base and the core comprising resilient metal parts arranged between the core and the base.
Abstract:
Apparatus for removing water from the surface of an article by immersion in a liquid composition which is immiscible with water embodying an arrangement of a water removal tank, a rinsing tank, a water settling tank, and recycling circuit for passing liquid composition from the water settling tank to the water removal tank, the water removal tank having a liquid inlet connected to a liquid outlet of the rinsing tank, heating means for heating liquid composition in the water removal tank, and an overflow device extending about at least 40% of the periphery of the water removal tank.
Abstract:
1. BATHS, WHICH ARE AQUEOUS AND ACIDIC AND SUBSTANTIALLY BROMIDE-ION FREE, FOR THE DEPOSITION BY ELECTROLYSIS OF PLATINUM AND/OR IRIDIUM, CHARACTERIZED BY THE FACT THAT THEY ARE FORMED OF COMPOUNDS OF PLATINUM AND/OR IRIDIUM GIVING IN AQUEOUS SOLUTION PRIMARILY THE BROMOIRIDIC AND BROMOPLATINIC ANIONS, AND OF AT LEAST ONE ACID SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF NITRIC, SULFURIC, PERCHLORIC AND BROMIC ACIDS, AND IN WHICH THE PLATINUM AND/OR IRIDIUM CONCENTRATIONS ARE BETWEEN ABOUT 0.1 GRAM AND 60 GRAMS PER LITER AND THE SAID ACID IS PRESENT IN AN AMOUNT OF BETWEEN ABOUT 0.05 AND 1 EQUIVALENT PER LITER OF BATH.
Abstract:
THIS CONTINUOUS MANUFACTURE OF METHYL METHACRYLATE BY HEATING B-METHOXY ISOBUTYRIC ACID IN THE PRESENCE OF A CATALYST OF ARYL SULFONIC ACID AND WITH THE CONTINUOUS ADDITION OF WATER.
Abstract:
Apparatus for the recovery and discharge of electrolyte leakage in diaphragm type electrolytic cells, whereby openings in the anodic bottoms which accommodate anode shafts are provided sealing means and with duct means channeling electrolyte leakage through the hollow shafts of the anodes.
Abstract:
BINDER COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING BLAST FURNACE SLAG AND BUILDING MATERIALS, SUCH AS CONCRETES AND MORTARS, DERIVED FROM SUCH BINDERS ARE SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVED BY THE ADDITION THERETO OF A MIXTURE OF METAL SILICATE, FOR EXAM-
PLE, SODIUM OR POTASSIUM SILICATE AND AN ACRYLIC COPOLYMER, SUCH AS ACRYLONITRILE AND ACRYLIC ACID COPOLYMER.
Abstract:
An electrode for electrochemical reactions comprising a substrate of a film forming or barrier metal covered with a cobaltite of at least two rare earth metals, one of the rare earth metals having a high atomic number and the other having a lower atomic number.
