The novel gasification reactor comprises a vertically oriented chamber with an upper pyrolysis section, a lower feed opening, and a primary combustion section. A lateral passage on each side and near the top of said primary combustion section each communicates with a separate secondary reaction chamber where a partially reacted feed is further reacted to form the product gas. In each passageway is a venturi nozzle or preferably a plurality of nozzles which accelerates the gas carrying entrained carbonaceous materials to produce a swirling curvilinear motion in the secondary reaction chambers.The reactor is fed by means of a plurality of hoppers and screw conveyors whereby the flow is regulated and positively fed both by gravity and the screw conveyors into rotary valve cavities in which counter rotating valves travel. The valves feed a piston which charges the reactor.

An extruder screw for use in the processing of a food mash is disclosed, in which, the mash is introduced into an inlet opening in an extruder barrel and conveyed by a substantially coextensive screw to an outlet or discharge opening and then through an extrusion die. The extruder screw comprises a single flight helical screw section initiating at the inlet opening and terminating within the extruder barrel, with a flightless section immediately following thereafter, and, a further helical screw section immediately following the flightless section and extending to the proximity of the outlet opening of the extruder barrel.

A method is disclosed for treating polyester resin systems to suppress gel-time drift for the useable storage life of the resin system. The method comprises contacting a solution containing a polyester binder with an organic acid either between formulation stages or after formulation of the resin system. Typically useful organic acids include aromatic dicarboxylic acids such as phthalic acid and unsaturated aliphatic dicarboxylic acids such as fumaric acid. Comparative data for gel times of polyester resin system samples treated according to the disclosed method show suppression of gel-time drift to as low as 6 percent of the gel-time drift of counterpart untreated resin system samples.
摘要:
Unreacted sulfuric acid contained in a disulfonic acid product of an aromatic hydrocarbon that is produced from the reaction of the aromatic hydrocarbon or the mono-sulfonic acid of the aromatic hydrocarbon with a strong sulfonating agent is removed from the disulfonic acid product by reacting the sulfuric acid with additional aromatic hydrocarbon to produce the mono-sulfonic acid of the aromatic compound. The disulfonic acid product of the aromatic hydrocarbon containing sulfuric acid is reacted with the aromatic hydrocarbon at a molar ratio of aromatic hydrocarbon to sulfuric acid in the range of about 0.25 to around 2 and at a temperature in the range of 130.degree. to 200.degree. C. to obviate the need to remove any water formed during the course of the reaction.

A disc-type valve is disclosed which provides a design by which the valve disc can be positively and uniformly lifted laterally off the valve seat so as to prevent abrasion of the sealing surface and/or the valve seat which might otherwise be caused by transverse movement of the valve disc in relation to the valve seat. The opening and closing movement of the valve seat is controlled by and operable in direct relation to a pivotable operating member extending through the valve body.

There is disclosed a multi-stage process for reducing sulfur dioxide to sulfur or to hydrogen sulfide whereby a hydrogen-containing gas from a high temperature gasifier is used. In the first stage of the process, the gasifier exit gas is contacted at a minimum temperature of about 1800.degree. F. with recycle gas containing SO.sub.2, H.sub.2 S, COS, mercaptans, and CS.sub.2 in order primarily to reduce the organic sulfur compounds, i.e., COS, mercaptans, and CS.sub.2, which heretofore would tend to accumulate in prior known methods employing a carbonaceous fuel for the reduction of SO.sub.2. Gas leaving the first stage is then sent to a second stage wherein SO.sub.2 from an external source is added. Reduction of sulfur dioxide occurs in the second stage at a temperature of about 2000.degree. F. minimum, with the surplus heat of reaction removed by the generation of steam. Gas leaves the second stage and is thereafter cooled with simultaneous generation of steam and selective condensation of sulfur vapor. After cleaning and compression, the residual sulfur compounds contained in the gas may be removed and may then be returned to the first stage of the process or else introduced to a known sulfur recovery process. The disclosed process can permit the production of a useful gas without the need for preheating reactants or supplemental steam generation. In addition, the release of sulfur compounds to the atmosphere is eliminated or reduced in an economical manner. A minimal amount of process steam is used on an overall basis, thereby minimizing the problems associated in prior methods with condensation of sulfur vapor or treatment of aqueous effluents.
摘要:
An increased amount of carbon monoxide is produced in a process for the gasification of carbonaceous materials by employing a reverse water gas shift reaction in the process. Raw gas produced by the gasification of carbonaceous materials contains predominantly carbon monoxide and hydrogen along with hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, water and methane. Carbon dioxide is separated from the raw gas as is the hydrogen sulfide. Thereafter, the carbon monoxide is separated from the raw gas to yield one portion of the carbon monoxide product gas. After the removal of carbon monoxide the raw gas consists of a hydrogen-rich gas. The hydrogen-rich gas which may be purified is mixed with the previously separated carbon dioxide along with any imported carbon dioxide and along with a recycle gas from a catalytic reaction loop. This mixed gas is conveyed to a heat exchanger in the catalytic reaction loop and passed through a heat exchanger located immediately after the gasifier through which the raw product gas passes. In the heat exchanger the hot raw product gas indirectly contacts the mixed gas and transfers some of its sensible heat to the mixed gas to effect the catalytically promoted, endothermic reaction of carbon dioxide and hydrogen to produce a carbon monoxide-containing gas. The indirect contacting for heat exchange is conducted in a manner that limits the accumulation of elemental carbon from any of the carbon-containing components of the mixed gas. The carbon monoxide is separated from the other components of the carbon monoxide-containing gas to yield a second portion of carbon monoxide gas which is then combined with the first portion of carbon monoxide product gas to give the increased amount of carbon monoxide product gas.
