摘要:
Coating formulations which behave as elastic solids having reversible stress-induced fluidity are prepared by creating a fluid having distributed therein effective amounts of ionic charge sites and countercharge sites. For instance, elastic solids having reversible stress-induced fluidity are prepared by combining liquid formulations with a dispersion of a small, but effective, amount of at least one crystalline mixed metal hydroxide conforming substantially to the formulaLi.sub.m D.sub.d T(OH).sub.(m+2d+3+n.multidot.a) (A.sup.n).sub.a .multidot.xH.sub.2 Owhere m is zero to one, D is a divalent metal, d is from zero to 4, T is a trivalent metal, A represents at least one anion or negative-valence radical of valence n and a is the amount of A, where n is 1 or more, (m+2d+3+n.multidot.a) is equal to or greater than 3, (m+d) is greater than zero, and xH.sub.2 O represents excess waters of hydration, if any. The coating formulations include, for example, paints, resin coatings, adhesives, de-icers, curable coatings, dryable coatings, and hardenable coatings.

摘要:
Apparatus, process and article for treating an aqueous solution containing a chemical contaminant. The process includes contacting an aqueous solution containing a chemical contaminant with an aggregate composition comprising an insoluble rare earth-containing compound to form a solution depleted of chemical contaminants. The insoluble rare earth-containing compound can include one or more of cerium, lanthanum, or praseodymium. A suitable insoluble cerium-containing compound can be derived from a cerium carbonate, cerium oxalate and/or a cerium salt. The aggregate composition can include more than 10.01% by weight of the insoluble rare earth-containing compound, and in a particular embodiment consists essentially of one or more cerium oxides, and optionally a binder and/or flow aid. Although intended for a variety of fluid treatment applications, such applications specifically include removing or detoxifying chemical contaminants in water.

A non-linear shaped charge perforator for use in perforating an oil and gas formation into which a wellbore has been drilled comprises a monolithic, axisymmetric metal case in which is disposed a main explosive charge between the front of the case, which is closed with a concave metal liner, and the closed back end of the case. The main explosive charge contains multiple initiation points, preferably two initiation points located about 180° apart on the outside surface of the charge, so that when the perforator is detonated the main charge is initiated such that the metal liner is collapsed into a non-circular jet, preferably a fan-shaped jet, that pierces the casing of the wellbore and forms non-circular perforations, preferably slot-shaped perforations, in the surrounding formation.

Crystalline layered mixed metal hydroxides (LMMHs) which are substantially free of unbound water and which conform substantially to the general formulaLi.sub.m D.sub.d T(OH).sub.(3+m+d),wherem represents an amount of Li of from 0 to 3,D represents a divalent metal cation, and d represents an amount of D of from 0 to 8.0,T represents a trivalent metal cation, and (3+m+d) represents an amount which substantially satisfies the valence requirements of Li, D and T, andwhere m+d does not equal zero,are prepared, in an organic reaction medium which is essentially free of unbound water, by mixing predetermined metal organo compounds in predetermined ratios and reacting the metal organo compounds with at least one reagent which supplies OH.sup.- ions to replace the beginning anions in the mixture of metal compounds.A preferred LMMH is one which conforms substantially to the generic formula Mg.sub.d Al(OH).sub.(3+d), where d represents the amount of Mg per each unit of Al. Useful anhydrous gels are among the useful products.

Unwanted halogen values are removed from liquid resin, organic or hydrocarbon material by adding particulate crystalline lithium aluminate compounds to the liquid material to act as a halogen scavenger, then separating the crystalline aluminate compound from the liquid material.

摘要:
Apparatus, process and article for treating a gas containing one or more of a chemical and/or biological contaminant. The process includes contacting the gas with an aggregate composition comprising an insoluble rare earth-containing compound to form a gas depleted of chemical and active biological contaminants. The insoluble rare earth-containing compound can include one or more of cerium, lanthanum, or praseodymium. The composition comprises no more than two elements selected from the group consisting of yttrium, scandium, and europium when the aggregate has been sintered. A suitable insoluble cerium-containing compound can be derived from cerium carbonate. In one embodiment, the aggregate composition consists essentially of one or more cerium oxides, and optionally, a binder. Although intended for a variety of fluid treatment applications, such applications specifically include the treatment of breathing gases such as air that may contain chemical and/or biological contaminants.
