摘要:
A radiation indicator device for use in indicating exposure to ultraviolet-B radiation. The device includes a radiation sensitive mixture which is selectively responsive to ultraviolet radiation having a wavelength substantially within or shorter than the range of wavelengths of ultraviolet-B radiation. The radiation sensitive mixture includes an organic halogen constituent capable of producing at least one acidic product upon exposure to ultraviolet radiation and an indicator constituent capable of producing a change in color in response to a change in concentration of the acidic product. The radiation sensitive mixture has a first color representing a relatively low concentration of the acidic product and has a second color representing a relatively high concentration of the acidic product. The first color is visually distinguishable from the second color. The device may also include a graphic pattern interposed amongst the radiation sensitive mixture, which graphic pattern has a graphic pattern color substantially identical to either the first color or the second color.
摘要:
A method of improving hydrocarbon recovery from oil sands, oil shale, and petroleum residues includes adding a polymeric or nonpolymeric processing aid capable of sequestering cations, such as the multivalent calcium, magnesium and iron cations. The hydrocarbons are preferably contacted with the processing aid before a primary separation of the hydrocarbons in order to increase bitumen recovery. A processing aid is provided in an effective amount to increase the liberation of the hydrocarbons from inorganic solids, particularly when the source is a poor processing ore. Preferred processing aids include citric acid or a polymeric acid selected from polyacrylic acid, polymethacrylic acid, salts of these acids, partial salts of these acids, and combinations thereof. The processing aids significantly increase the hydrocarbon recovery typically with concentrations less than 50 ppm and the polymeric processing aids can also provide beneficial flocculation of solids in tailings slurry.
