Abstract:
The invention provides an improved method for preparing fired ceramic oxide material. A ceramic oxide powder is dispersed in an aqueous solution containing a dispersant having as an active ingredient a dissolved salt of an anionic polymer formed from maleic acid, maleic acid anhydride, or fumaric acid. The slurry containing the dispersed ceramic oxide powder is spray-dried, compressed while substantially dry, and heated to produce a fired ceramic material. Ceramic materials having relatively higher density and strength can be produced by the method.
Abstract:
An improved method for scavenging dissolved oxygen from industrial waters which comprises treating said waters with at least 1 ppb of morpholinohexose reductone.
Abstract:
A composition is provided for addition to cellulosic fibers prior to felting them into a sheet comprising as component (a) a monomeric water soluble diallyl dimethyl ammonium halide or homopolymer thereof or mixtures thereof and as component (b) a water dispersible complex fatty amido compound, the proportion of (a) and (b) being sufficient to enhance softness of the dried sheet while increasing or not substantially reducing absorbency of water and tensile strength.
Abstract:
Improved pulp strength and brightness of chemically produced pulp can be obtained by treating the pulp with the addition of 0.05-0.5% based on the weight of the dry fiber of certain amine materials in the hypochlorite bleaching stage.
Abstract:
This invention is a method of increasing the amount of retention of deposited starch and pigment on fibers in broke liquid which consists of adding to said liquid a combination dosage of a DMA-epichlorohydrin polymer together with a second polymer consisting of acrylamide/acrylate. Such a polymer may be anionic, such as an acrylamide/sodium acrylate 5% or 30% acrylic acid, or it may be cationic, such as acrylamide/dimethylamino ethyl methacrylate dimethyl sulfate quaternary. The polymers may be applied to the broke directly and preferably in the form of an inverted water-in-oil emulsion. The dosage based on dry weight of starch (T) ranges from 2-35 lbs/T of the DMA-epichlorohydrin polymer product (48% polymer, 0.96-16.8 lbs/T polymer) and 0.5-8 lbs/T based on the second polymer product (28% polymer, 0.14-2.24 lbs/T polymer) selected from the group consisting of copolymers of acrylamide/acrylic acid; copolymers of acrylamide/alkali metal acrylate (e.g., sodium acrylate); copolymers of acrylamide/dimethylamino ethyl methacrylate dimethyl sulfate quaternary (DMAEM.DMS quat).
Abstract:
A method for deinking of repulped xerographic paper comprising adding an organic polymeric particulate and a substantially water insoluble organic ester to a repulped aqueous slurry containing xerographic toner particles in an amount sufficient to at least partially agglomerate the xerographic toner particles within the slurry to larger particle sizes; and removing the xerographic toner particles from the slurry by one or more liquid/solid separation techniques.
Abstract:
A method for using an aqueous hydrotrope solution to remove at least a portion of a solvent from a stream of air containing the solvent, wherein the method comprises introducing the stream of air containing the solvent into a scrubber containing an effective amount of the aqueous hydrotrope solution, and contacting of the stream of air containing the solvent with the aqueous hydrotrope solution thereby producing a first scrubber product stream containing scrubbed air and a second scrubber product stream containing the aqueous hydrotrope solution and the solvent.

Abstract:
Improved pulp strength and brightness of chemically produced pulp can be obtained by treating the pulp with the addition of 0.05--0.5% based on the weight of the dry fiber of polyacrylic acid and/or its water-soluble salts in the chlorination bleaching stages.
