Disclosed is a process for recovering petroleum from subterranean, viscous asphaltic or bituminous petroleum-containing formations, including subterranean tar sand deposits. A zone of gas permeability is established in the formation first, such as by fracturing or gas sweeping a section of the formation. Oxidizing gas such as oxygen, air, oxygen enriched air, ozone, or chlorine, or a mixture of steam and an oxidizing gas is introduced into the zone of increased gas permeability to expand the zone and further to cause a reaction to occur between the oxidizing gas and the oxygen-susceptible groups or labile groups associated witn the bituminous or asphaltic petroleum molecules forming acidic or aldehyde groups. Next, a gaseous or liquid alkalinity agent such as ammonia is introduced into the formation to react with the oxidatively pre-treated groups in the bituminous or asphaltic petroleum to form surface active agents or surfactants in situ. Finally, steam or a mixture of steam and an alkalinity agent such as ammonia or steam and air or a mixture of steam, oxidative gas and an excess of ammonia is introduced into the treated zone to recover petroleum. This process may be applied as a push-pull process or it may be applied in a multi well, throughput process. In a preferred embodiment, gaseous ammonia serves as an alkaline agent to neutralize the surface active agents formed in the formation, and also functions as a non-condensable gas to prevent loss of gas permeability as the viscous petroleum is heated in the final stages of the process.

In an apparatus for lifting sheet steel strip into and out of a pickling tank, improved lifting bars formed in an L-shape and having an acid-resistant polypropylene covering surrounding a major portion of the length thereof and an acid-resistant polypropylene sleeve snugly fitted on the covering extending over the lower leg of the bar. The sleeve serves as the bearing surface for the strip and can be simply removed and replaced.

A method in particular, comprises the steps of: (a) preparing a mold having a sprue leading to a substantially horizontally oriented runner, at least one riser extending from the runner, and walls defining a mold cavity in communication with the riser; (b) providing a shallow reaction chamber in the runner containing grain refining inoculant solids therein, the inoculant having a surface exposed substantially tangentially to the flow of molten metal through the runner; (c) pouring a charge of molten aluminum into the sprue with a sufficient pressure head to fill the cavity, the flow being substantially laminar through the runner; and (d) inverting the mold substantially immediately after mold filling and prior to solidification of the metal in the mold cavity.
摘要:
Graphite and/or carbon surfaces are coated with a titanium nitride coating by exposing the substrate to electric arc thermal spray process wherein titanium wire as the source of titanium and nitrogen is used as the propelling (atomizing) gas.
摘要:
A single instruction stream multiple data steam data flow signal processor and method for implementing macro data flow control, in which a plurality of data processors have contentionless access to global memory data. Data processing tasks for the data processors, such as primitive executions together with graph scheduling processes, are developed asynchronously and in parallel from a command program and a macro data flow control graph.
