摘要:
Thermally stable, shaped alumina catalyst carriers are made by treating an alumina shape of predominantly chi-rho-eta or pseudoboehmite crystalline phase structure, or mixtures thereof, with an ammonium salt in an aqueous medium under pressure within the temperature range of about 100*C and 250*C, followed by removal of water-leachable constituents and a subsequent thermal activation step. The products exhibit high thermal stability at elevated temperatures.

This invention relates to an improved method and system for automatically controlling the GMA welding process wherein the welding current is coordinated with the measured feed rate of electrode filler wire, the electrode feed rate being independently controlled. Provisions are made to accommodate current modification for out-of-position welding and also for flat and out-of-position crater filling.

1. METHOD OF PRODUCING STRONTIUM HYDROXIDE FROM STRONTIUM SULFATE COMPRISING: (A) REACTING A FINELY DIVIDED CELESTITE WITH SUFFICIENT AQUEOUS SODIUM HYDROXIDE SOLUTION TO FORM A SLURRY, THE SOLUTION CONTAINING SUFFICIENT NAOH TO MAINTAIN A CONCENTRATION OF AT LEAST 10 G./L. NAOH AFTER REACTION OF THE SODIUM HYDROXIDE IN THE SOLUTION WITH THE CELESTITE TO FORM STRONTIUM HYDROXIDE, THE REACTION BEING CARRIED OUR AT A TEMPERATURE BELOW THE BOILING POINT OF WATER; (B) SEPARATING THE SOLID MATERIAL RESULTING FROM STEP (A) FROM THE AQUEOUS SOLUTION; (C) WASHING THE SOLID MATERIAL SEPARATED IN STEP (B) TO DISSOLVE AND REMOVE ANY SOLID SODIUM SULFATE PRESENT; SAID WASHING BEING CONDUCTED AT A TEMPERATURE OF NOT GREATER THAN THAT OF THE REACTION OF STEP (A); (D) DISSOLVING THE STRONTIUM HYDROXIDE IN THE WASHED SOLID MATERIAL PRODUCED IN STEP (C) IN WATER AT A TEMPERATURE OF AT LEAST 90* C.; (E) SEPARATING THE STRONITUM HYDROXIDE SOLUTION PRODUCED IN STEP (D) FROM THE REMAINING SOLIDS; AND (F) RECOVERING STRONTIUM VALUES FROM THE SEPARATED SOLUTION.

This invention relates to a self-centering bottom block for a direct chill (D.C.) casting apparatus. The assembly comprises a bottom block which is slidably mounted on a supporting surface and a retaining ring which loosely locks the bottom block to the supporting surface but which allows for the horizontal movement of the bottom block. As the assembly is raised into position, guide buttons on the exterior surfaces of the assembly ride on guide surfaces which are fixed spatially with respect to the mold bore and thereby center the assembly within the mold bore. In another embodiment of the invention, the bottom block assembly is provided with a means which engages the ingot during the initial phases of solidification and urges the ingot during the initial phases of solidification and urges the ingot out of the mold but which readily disengages the ingot after casting.

A ready-to-use refractory ramming mix which contains fine periclase and which can be rapidly heated immediately after being formed is made from refractory aggregate and, as bond, a mixture of oil and wax. The composition may also contain high temperature bonding and sintering agents such as volatilized silica and chromic oxide.

SODIUM FLUOFERRATE (NA3FEF6), A FLUORINATING AGENT FOR CONVERTING CHLOROALKANES TO CHLOROFLUOROALKANES, IS PREPARED IN HIGH PURITY FROM SPENT, CARBONACEOUS FLUORINECONTAINING LININGS OF ALUMINUM REDUCTION CELLS. THE SPENT LINING, IS, AFTER COMMINUTION, SUBJECTED TO CONTROLLED CALCINATION AND THE RESIDUE IS THEN SELECTIVELY LEACHED TO RECOVER SUBSTANTIALLY PRE NAF SOLUTION. ADJUSTMENT OF THE PH PRECIPITATES RESIDUAL NA3ALF6 IMPURITIES AND THE FILTRATE IS DIRECTLY USED FOR THE PREPARATION OF NA3FEF6 BY ADDITION OF FECL3 AND NACL.
摘要:
A process for producing nickel of high purity and with high recovery from nickel-bearing materials containing nickel and less noble metals including cobalt and iron, such as ores and alloys. A molten slag phase and molten metal phase is provided in a furnace having an elongated flow path in which the nickel of high purity is removed at a point near one end of the furnace while molten slag highly impoverished with respect to nickel oxide is removed at a point near the other end. A metal purification zone and a slag treating zone are established in the vicinity of the molten metal removal point and the molten slag removal point, respectively. An intermediate zone is located between the metal purification zone and the slag treating zone, and a countercurrent movement between the slag and metal phases is induced, the said slag phase flows from the metal purification zone through the intermediate zone to the slag treating zone while the metal phase flows from the slag treating zone through the intermediate zone to the metal purification zone. Oxidation of the metal phase in the metal purification zone provides the nickel in high purity, while treatment of the slag in the slag treating zone with a reducing agent effects a high recovery. Interphase contact and intraphase mixing between the slag and metal phases is promoted during their flows. At least periodically, a portion of the metal present in the metal phase in the intermediate zone, which is rich in cobalt, is removed.
摘要:
A process for recovering metal values from furnace skim comprising a controlled wet comminution of the skim at a reduced work input level in a ball mill having a ball charge of from 5 to 20 percent of the internal mill volume. The comminuted product is separated into a coarse and fine fraction, the coarse fraction being substantially metal and the fine fraction being substantially non-metals such as oxides, nitrides, and the like.

METHOD OF MAKING HIGHLY PURITY SYNTHETIC MULLITE WHEREIN FINELY DIVIDED ALUMINOUS (E.G., ALUMINUM TRIHYDRATE) AND ALUMINOSILICATE (E.G., KAOLIN CLAY) RAW MATERIALS ARE LIGHTLY CALCINED, AT A TEMPERATURE BETWEEN 750 AND 1150* C., AND MILLED PRIOR TO FIRING TO FORM MULLITE REFRACTORY. PREFERABLY THE MILLED CALCINED MATERIALS ARE COMPACTED PRIOR TO FIRING.
