摘要:
A continuous process for the process for the enzyme-catalyzed preparation of cyclic ester oligomers from linear ester oligomers. The process may use a linear or recirculating reactor.

Processed plant fine fibers such as those from the mesocarp of a coconut together are blended with a biodegradable plastic to produce a biodegradable plastic product that can be further made into other items. Plastics thus made from coconut husk fine fiber powder will return to the environment after disposal much more rapidly than those without coconut husk fine fiber powder. In the process, a dry compressed plant fine fiber powder is created from fine fibers of the coconut mesocarp. An example product created from this raw material is composed of 10 to 40% by weight of dry coconut husk powder mixed with environmentally degradable plastic. Environmentally non-degradable plastic may be added to the dry powder as a biodegradation rate modulator to create a modified raw material with a modified biodegradation rate. Plastic additives, standard in the industry, can be added to achieve additional desired properties. For example, a surface active agent may be added in order to increase the degree of processability; a colorant may be added to increase marketability; pesticides may be added as needed in order to protect the product or the soil in which the product is disposed from insects; and/or polymerization modifiers such as cross-linkers, monomer derivatives, heteromonomers, curing agents, etc. may be utilized to vary the properties of the base plastic.
摘要:
A method and machine for recovering silver and polyester from exposed photographic X-ray film of the type having a polyester base coated with a sheath of polyvinyladine chloride and a photosensitive silver emulsion. Sheets of the film are fed through baths of hot caustic which successively remove the silver emulsion and deposit it as a sludge from which the silver is recovered and remove the polyvinyladine coating to permit the polyester to be recovered in a commercially acceptable pure form. Where the film sheets may include some acetate based film, the apparatus will distinguish between the polyester and acetate and discard the acetate bases as scrap, after the silver emulsion has been removed.

LATICES OF CONJUGATED ALIPHATIC DIENE POLYMERS CONTAINING HYDROPHILIC FUNCTIONAL GROUPS ARE AGGLOMERATED BY SUBJECTING THEM TO HIGH VELOCITY SHEAR IN THE PRESENCE OF SMALL AMOUNTS OF THE AMMONIUM OR ALKALI METAL SALTS OF N-(HIGHER ALKYL) SULPHOSUCCINAMATES.
