    摘要: A polycrystalline article is densified to provide either a nonporous body or a body with controlled interconnected porosity. A mixture of fine powders of the polycrystalline material and a sintering aid is compacted and outgassed under reduced pressure. The outgassed compact is then subjected to a permeation anneal step in which it is heated in a closed chamber to a temperature sufficient to form a liquid of the sintering aid, but under pressure conditions which inhibit evaporation of the sintering aid. The sintering aid can then be leached out to provide a densified article having interconnected porosity. Alternatively, the sintering aid can be leached out at elevated temperature, further densifying the compact to form a substantially nonporous body. Alternatively, the sintering aid can be removed by subjecting the densified article to an evaporation anneal step in which the article is heated to evaporate the sintering aid, further densifying the compact to form a substantially nonporous article. Apparatus is provided containing interconnected sections to accomplish the foregoing process. When applied to magnesium fluoride, a transparent polycrystalline body is obtained as a new article of manufacture which is substantially uniformly transparent to infrared radiation throughout the entire range of 0.7-6 microns.

    摘要: A process for the oxidation of ammonia to hydrogen cyanide which comprises combining ammonia with a predetermined amount of oxygen and methane to produce hydrogen cyanide and water and passing the resulting mixture over a ceramic catalyst of the following empirical formula at a temperature between about 700.degree. and 1100.degree. C.:W.sub.k X.sub.n J.sub.(1-k-n) ZO.sub.(3.+-.m')Wherein:W is zirconium, tin or thorium or mixture thereof;X is an alkaline earth metal or mixture thereof;J is scandium, yttrium, a rare-earth element or mixture thereof;Z is a metal of the first transition series or a mixture thereof, at least 0.01% of said metal having an oxidation state other than +3;k is a number having a value of between 0 and about 0.1;m' is a number having a value of from 0 to about 0.26, provided m' has a value other than 0 when n has a value of 0; andn is a number having a value from 0 to about 0.51, provided when n has a value of 0, k has a value of between 0 and about 0.05. These mixed oxide catalysts can be used to catalytically oxidize organic compounds to various states of oxidation, ammonia, carbon monoxide, hydrogen, sulfur dioxide, and hydrogen sulfide, with oxygen, or carbon monoxide with water, sulfur dioxide or nitric oxide. The catalyst can also be employed in the catalytic removal of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, nitric oxides and sulfur dioxide from the exhaust gases of generating or heating plants and automobiles burning fossil fuels. In addition these catalysts can be employed to produce hydrogen cyanide from methane, ammonia and oxygen.

    摘要: A method of burning a fossil fuel and air with the emmission of an exhaust gas consisting essentially of atmospheric gases, carbon dioxide and water vapor and essentially free of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and nitric oxide, which comprises burning the fossil fuel at a temperature between 1000.degree. C. and 1500.degree. C. with less than the stoichiometric amount of atmospheric oxygen required for complete combustion of the fossil fuel to yield a combustion gas containing uncombusted fossil fuel, partially combusted fossil fuel, water vapor, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and atmospheric nitrogen, said carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide being in the ratio of 100 parts carbon dioxide to between 1 and about 11 parts carbon monoxide; combining said combustion gas with a predetermined amount of an oxygen containing gas to give at least a 1% excess of the stoichiometric amount of oxygen for oxidizing the uncombusted and partially combusted fossil fuel and carbon monoxide; and passing the resulting mixture over a novel ceramic catalyst at a temperature between about 200.degree. C. and about 1000.degree. C. The usable heat energy of said combustion gas may be employed for work. The fossil fuel may also contain sulfur which is oxidized to sulfur trioxide by said catalyst in the presence of excess oxygen.
