摘要:
A process and apparatus utilizing the process of the present invention are provided to produce a fast dissolving, thermally sensitive granular product. The process employs a fluidized spray dryer having a fluidized bed of granular particles into which recycled off-sized product is fed after being agglomerated to adjust particle size. The spray dryer optionally can employ a second nozzle positioned above the fluidized bed. The process can be employed in the production of calcium hypochlorite water sanitizing chemical wherein the chlorine is supplied from a hypochlorous acid reactor and lime hypochlorinator.

摘要:
A process for producing hypochlorous acid by reacting an aqueous solution of an alkali metal hydroxide in droplet form with gaseous chlorine to produce hypochlorous acid vapor and solid alkali metal chloride particles in which the improvement comprises employing molar ratios of gaseous chlorine to the alkali metal hydroxide of at least about 22:1.The process achieves high yields of hypochlorous acid by minimizing side reactions including the formation of chlorate as an impurity in the alkali metal chloride particles produced.The hypochlorous acid solution produced contains from about 35 to about 60 percent by weight of HOCl, a dissolved chlorine concentration of less than about 2 percent by weight, and is substantially free of alkali metal ions and chloride ions.
摘要:
A novel process for the production of granular calcium hypochlorite compositions is provided which comprises reacting neutral calcium hypochlorite with an alkaline solution comprised of an alkali metal hypochlorite and an alkali metal hydroxide. The reaction produces a slurry from which a wet cake comprised of neutral calcium hypochlorite and a residual amount of hemibasic calcium hypochlorite is recovered and dried. During the drying process in which granular calcium hypochlorite compositions are obtained, there is a substantial reduction in the loss of available chlorine from the product.

An apparatus for protecting a digital electronic data processor or stored digital data from damage includes a digital data unit comprising a data storage medium, a protective housing having side, top, and bottom walls defining a closed compartment which contains the digital data unit to shield the digital data therein from environmental damage. Active and passive protection from overheating and data encryption provides further data protection. The housing has at least one access port for supplying electrical power or for information transfer to or from the data unit therein. The port is sealed to prevent the introduction of environmental substances into the housing in the event of potential damage from an environmental disaster or other cause. The invention thus makes possible the safe storage of digital information in a computer data storage system which therefore has substantially increased capacity to survive disasters such as fires, floods, earthquakes, and theft, as well as more common computer problems such as disk drive failures. The invention can employ multiple computer network data access mechanisms that store digital data, including but not limited to Microsoft Windows File Sharing, Common Internet File Systems (CIFS), Network File Systems (NFS), Novell Netware File Systems, iSCSI, Storage Area Network Protocol, and Network SQL Database Mechanism or other data processing units.
摘要:
A calcium hypochlorite composition consists essentially of at least 75 percent by weight of Ca(OCl).sub.2, from about 6 to about 14 percent by weight of water, and less than 1.5 percent by weight of an alkali metal chloride. The novel composition provides increased amounts of sanitizing and disinfecting to, for example, water bodies while remaining safe with respect to thermal decomposition. Further, the composition reduces the rate of chlorine evolution during storage.
摘要:
A method for accelerating storage access in a network. The method comprises receiving a data record having a plurality of data segments. The data segments are stored in a local memory of a network controller (NC). A virtual write buffer (VWB) entry is assigned for the incoming data record in the NC local memory. The data segments of said data record are reassemble using the VWB. The data record is sent from the network controller directly to an I/O controller of a storage device.
摘要:
A process for producing an aqueous hypochlorous acid solution reacts droplets of an alkali metal hydroxide solution containing greater than 50 percent by weight of the alkali metal hydroxide with chlorine gas. The reaction produces a gaseous mixture of dichlorine monoxide, chlorine, hypochlorous acid vapor and water vapor, and solid particles of alkali metal chloride. The solid particles of alkali metal chloride are separated and the gaseous mixture condensed at a temperature in the range of from about -33.degree. C. and about -5.degree. C. to produce the aqueous hypochlorous acid solution. The process of the invention results in increased yields of hypochlorous acid and provides an economic basis for increased production capacity. The aqueous hypochlorous acid solutions produced are highly pure and as a result have significantly improved stability.
摘要:
A process for producing calcium hypochlorite comprises wetting lime with an aqueous slurry of fine basic calcium hypochlorite crystals in a mixing zone to form an aqueous lime slurry. The aqueous lime slurry is reacted with a calcium hypochlorite solution in a crystallizing zone to produce a slurry of basic calcium hypochlorite crystals. The slurry of basic calcium hypochlorite crystals is separated in a first separation means into a slurry of fine basic calcium hypochlorite crystals and a slurry of coarse basic calcium hypochlorite crystals. The slurry of fine basic calcium hypochlorite crystals is returned to said mixing zone. The slurry of coarse basic calcium hypochlorite is conveyed to a second separation means to separate coarse crystals of basic calcium hypochlorite from a calcium hypochlorite mother liquor. Coarse crystals of basic calcium hypochlorite are admixed with lime and an alkali metal hypochlorite in a third mixing zone to form a mixed alkali slurry. The mixed alkali slurry is reacted with chlorine to form a paste of calcium hypochlorite dihydrate which is separated into a cake of calcium hypochlorite dihydrate and a paste liquor. The paste liquor is fed to the crystallizing zone. The cake of calcium hypochlorite dihydrate is dried to produce granular calcium hypochlorite.The novel process of the present invention produces crystalline basic calcium hypochlorite slurries having high filtration rates. In addition, the process provides improved crystal growth control and effectively prevents excess nucleation in the crystallization of the basic calcium hypochlorite.
摘要:
An elongated, generally vertically extending cocurrent reactor vessel for the production of hypochlorous acid by the mixing and reaction of a liquid alkali metal hydroxide and a gaseous halogen is provided wherein an atomizer is mounted near the top of the reactor vessel to atomize the liquid alkali metal hydroxide into droplets in the vessel. The vessel has a spraying and reaction zone immediately beneath the atomizer and a drying zone beneath the spraying and reaction zone to produce a gaseous hypochlorous acid and a substantially dry solid salt by-product.
