摘要:
The current invention describes organoclay compositions and methods of using them for removing impurities from contaminated liquids. The compositions are formed by contacting an attapulgite, sepiolite, or zeolite clay mineral with an alkylamine base. The method of use involves contacting the organoclay composition with a contaminated liquid, such as oil in water, allowing the organoclay to absorb the contaminants. The organoclay can be in the form of a granular solid for inline filter applications, or it can be a finely divided powder for other applications.

A method of preparing and using a subterranean formation stabilization agent. The stabilization agent includes a guanidyl copolymer and may be admixed with a fracturing fluid and optionally brine. The stabilization agent is effective in preventing and/or reducing, for example, clay swelling and fines migration from a subterranean formation contacted with the stabilization agent.

摘要:
Aqueous suspensions of paints in waste waters can be treated to detackify the paint and facilitate its removal by contacting the paint suspension at a pH of from about 5 to about 14 with a polyarylamine that is produced by reacting an aldehyde with an arylamine in the presence of an acid in an aqueous suspension. The same polyarylamine can also be used for reducing the color content of highly colored liquids. Compositions containing the polyarylamine are also described.
摘要:
A dual bladed surgical saw and method of use. Two blade assemblies are attached to a saw body. Each blade assembly includes an oscillator driving a blade, and teeth on each blade. The blades are disposed at a pre-determined blade angle relative to each other, thus allowing two cuts to be made simultaneously and independently at the blade angle relative to each other. The blade assemblies may be rotatable relative to each other, which allows the pre-set blade angle to be varied appropriate to the procedure contemplated. One embodiment uses a slotted protractor bearing protractor indicia, and a threaded fastener to set the blade angle. Another embodiment uses shims between blade assembly arms to quickly and accurately set the blade angle. Method steps include pre-setting the blade angle, and making two cuts simultaneously at an angle relative to each other equal to the blade angle.
