Abstract:
An apparatus for the precipitation of metal compounds from acid waste solution comprises a vertical reaction vessel having a reaction chamber for the upward passage of a liquid suspension of solid particles and means for forcing the particles upward. The apparatus is also provided with overflow means for flowing particles to a recycling chamber, separate ports of entry for a precipitant and for liquid feed, a reservoir above the reaction zone for containment of treated waste liquor, and an exit port for removal of the treated liquid from the apparatus.
Abstract:
A wire rope or strand is impregnated with a plastic foam type internal sealant to cushion the wires and strands and provide corrosion protection by (a) initially impregnating the strand with a foamable plastic composition, (b) heating the strand under ''''free-blowing'''' conditions to foam the plastic composition uniformly about the wires or strands, and (c) preferably finally collapsing the foam material upon the surface of the strand by means of a cold die to form a dense outer plastic jacket. The foamable plastic composition before foaming serves as a lubricant within the stranding die so that no additional stranding lubricant is required. The resulting plastic impregnated wire rope or strand has uniform low interwire foam filler densities. Alternative constructions of impregnated rope or strand can be made.
Abstract:
A POLYURETHANE FOAM CORE WALL PANEL IS PRODUCED BY PLACING A QUANTITY OF FOAM IN A MOLD COMPRISING A BOTTOM PANEL, A BORDER AND A TOP PANEL, AND, WHILE THE EXPANDING FOAM IS IN CONTACT WITH THE TOP PANEL CYCLICALLY FLEXING THE TOP PANEL UNTIL THE FOAM HAS COMPLETELY FILLED THE MOLD.
