摘要:
A process for gas phase delignifying wood pulp comprising: contacting wood pulp in the first stage of pulp bleaching with chlorine dioxide-containing gas to delignify said wood pulp; wherein(a) said wood pulp has a consistency of at least about 15 percent;(b) said chlorine dioxide-containing gas contains less than about 3% by weight chlorine gas, based on the weight of chlorine dioxide in said gas; and(c) said contacting is conducted at a subatmospheric pressure from about 15 to about 750 mm Hg. This process reduces the formation of chloroform and significantly reduces the amounts of toxic by-products such as dioxin and other organic chlorides. These undesirable by-products, collectively identified as absorbable organic halides (AOX), require effluents from pulp bleaching processes to undergo expensive treatment methods to eliminate AOX's prior to discharges to sewers. The effluent discharge from this process generally has less than 2.0 kg adsorbed organic halides (AOX) per ton of wood pulp. The pulp produced by this process has a brightness and viscosity that meet or exceed the requirements of industrial papermaking.
摘要:
A process which comprises heating a reaction mixture comprised of an aqueous solution containing perchlorate ions, chlorate ions and hydrogen ions to produce chlorine dioxide and oxygen gas.The novel process of the present invention provides a commercially viable process for producing chlorine dioxide from mixtures of oxy-chlorine species in the absence of a reducing agent. The process can be operated without producing an acidic salt by-product while producing a chlorine dioxide product which is substantially free of chlorine. In addition, the process of the invention permits a reduction in the amount of acid fed to the chlorine dioxide generator.
摘要:
A current conductor assembly for conducting electric current to electrodes in cells for the electrolysis of a salt solution is comprised of a conductor and a nonconductive casing for the conductor. There is a space between the conductor and the casing with an inlet in the casing for receiving a fluid. The conductor assembly has means for supplying a pressurized fluid to the space between the conductor and the casing; means for sealingly attaching one end of the conductor assembly to the electrodes, where this end is immersed in the salt solution; and a compressible sealing assembly for the opposite end of the conductor assembly comprised of a compression means and a sealing means.The conductor assembly employs the pressurized fluid to prevent corrosive attack of the conductor metal should a leak develop in the conductor assembly.
摘要:
A novel process for purifying an alkaline solution of a lower alkyl alcohol containing as an impurity an alkali metal alkoxide, an alkali metal hydroxide, and water is disclosed. The process comprises treating the alkaline solution of a lower alkyl alcohol with an anhydrous hydrogen halide to react with the alkali metal alkoxide and the alkali metal hydroxide to provide a neutral solution comprised of the lower alkyl alcohol, an alkali metal halide and water. The alkali metal halide is removed from the neutral solution to obtain a substantially salt-free solution comprised of the lower alkyl alcohol and water. A zeolite molecular sieve is contacted with the solution to remove the water and to recover a substantially anhydrous solution of a lower alkyl alcohol. The process produces purified substantially anhydrous alcohol solutions suitable for the use in the production of alkali metal alkoxides such as sodium methoxide without introducing undesired amounts of alkaline impurities into the product.

An improvement is disclosed in the preparation of pentachloronitrobenzene by the nitration of pentachlorobenzene. The improvement, which is primarily aimed at reducing the residual level of the undesirable starting material, pentachlorobenzene, in the product, includes a two-stage reactant mixing step wherein the pentachlorobenzene is first mixed with sulfuric acid and then concentrated nitric acid is added to this mixture.
摘要:
A process for producing chlorine dioxide by oxidizing a hypochlorous acid solution to produce a chloric acid solution, and, electrolyzing the chloric acid solution to produce chlorine dioxide.The novel process of the present invention provides a commercially viable process for producing the chloric acid and eliminates the formation of an acidic salt solution in the production of chlorine dioxide which requires disposal. Further, the process permits a reduction in the amount of acid required in the generation of chlorine dioxide.
摘要:
Hydrogen halide levels of halogenated aliphatic nitriles are unexpectedly reduced by condensing a vapor comprising hydrogen halide and halogenated aliphatic nitrile at selected elevated temperatures, thus producing a product having reduced hydrogen halide levels and improved storage stability.

摘要:
A method has been devised for removing hexavalent chromium from concentrated aqueous alkali metal chlorate solution by reacting the solution with an inorganic sulfur containing compound and separating divalent and trivalent chromium compounds from the solution. Alkali metal hypohalites may be simultaneously removed from the chlorate solution by reaction with excess inorganic sulfur containing compound.
