Abstract:
The present invention relates to a wastewater treatment composition and a process of decolorizing pulp and paper mill wastewater and, more specifically, to a process for treating wastewater effluent from a pulp or paper mill with a microorganism whereby color bodies in the pulp and paper wastewater are thereby removed and the wastewater is decolorized.
Abstract:
NEW COMPOSITIONS OF MATTER COMPRISING ALKYL AN ARYL ESTER OF PLICATIC ACID, AND THE USE OF THESE ESTES AS ANTIOXIDANTS FOR FATS AND OILS, ARE DISCLOSED.
Abstract:
High-tenacity rayon filaments and staple fibers having an exceptionally high number of crimps per inch are produced by spinning a viscose spinning solution into a coagulating-type spin bath to obtain coagulated, incompletely regenerated viscose filaments, the coagulated viscose filaments withdrawn from the spin bath being stretched from about 120 to 280 percent in length while the filaments are still substantially soluble in dilute alkali solution, the filaments being treated with a hot acid bath while being stretched. The tension of the filaments is then relaxed about 20-60 percent while the filaments are less than 50 percent regenerated, and the thus relaxed partially regenerated filaments are treated with an alkaline solution having a pH of from about 7.5 to 10. Regeneration of the filaments, or of staple fibers prepared therefrom, is then completed without additional stretching, followed by conventional desulfurization and washing of the highly crimped filament or staple fiber product.
Abstract:
A NEW COMPOSITION OF MATTER COMPRISING 1-(3'',4''-DIHYDROXY-5''-METHOXYPHENYL) - 2,(-DIHYDROXY-3-METHYL-6-METHOXY-NAPHTHALENE ("PLICATENOL") HAVING UTILITY AS AN ANTIOXIDANT FOR FATS AND OILS IS DISCLOSED. THIS COMPOUND IS PREPARED BY HEATING PLICATIN (A DERIVATIVE OF PLIACATIC ACID) TO A TEMPERATURE OF ABOUT 200*C. IN THE ABSENCE OF AIR FOR A SUFFICIENT PERIOD OF TIME TO PRODUCE A PYROLYSIS REACTION PRODUCT COMPRISING PLICATENOL.
Abstract:
A MIXTURE OF PLICATIC ACID AND THIODIPROPIONIC ACID EXHIBITS A SYNERGISTIC ANTIOXIDANT EFFECT WHEN ADDED TO ANIMAL FATS AND VEGETABLE OILS AND FOODSTUFFS CONTAINING THESE MATERIALS. THE PLICATIC ACID-THIODIPROPIONIC ACID ADDITIVE, WHICH COMPRISES SUBSTANTIALLY EQUAL AMOUNTS OF EACH OILS WHEN ADDED THERETO IN AMOUNTS APPROXIMATING 100 PARTS PER MILLION.
