Abstract:
Reaction mixtures for forming curable epoxy resin compositions comprise an epoxy resin, a monoethylenically unsaturated monomer capable of forming polyacrylate rubber, a chain transfer agent to allow for higher levels of rubber in the curable epoxy resin without undesired vixcosity increase and/or gellation, and a monomer soluble initiator. Optional ingredients include a crosslinking agent for the rubber-forming monomer, a grafting agent for rubber and epoxy resin, and an epoxy curing agent, preferably having activation conditions which are not satisfied when the initiator is activated. Heating the reaction mixture gives epoxy resin compositions containing polyacrylate rubber, the latter being optionally crosslinked and/or grafted to the epoxy resin. Activation of the curing agent, e.g., by heating, when such curing agent is present, yields cured adhesive compositions.
Abstract:
Crystalline tertiary magnesium phosphate octahydrate having uniform and perfect crystal shape is produced by adding a monomagnesium phosphate solution to a magnesium hydroxide slurry at a temperature of from about 35°C to about 70°C and for a period of hours to form the highly pure crystalline product within a pH range of from about 6,7 to about 6,9.

Polyurethane foams prepared from the reaction of polyester polyol with organic isocyanate have improved flame retardance and dripping ember retardance by incorporation of an additive comprising (1) halogenated flame retardant, and (2) water or alcohol soluble ureaformaldehyde resin.
Abstract:
Sulfur dioxide (S0 2 ) is absorbed from waste gases by absorbing S0 2 in an aqueous absorbent comprising soluble sulfite in an absorber: stripping the S0 2 from the absorbent: absorbing the stripped S0 2 in a separate absorbent for the S0 2 ; and reacting the thus absorbed S0 2 in a liquid Claus reactor forming sulfur. In a preferred embodiment, the gas from the stripping step is subjected to a condensation step in a heat exchanger boiler where steam ingoing to the stripper is generated.

The present invention provides advantages over the prior art.
Abstract:
Vanadium halides or oxyhalides are prepared by reacting vanadium oxyhalides or pentoxide with a halogen in the presence of activated carbon at an elevated temperature in a fluidised bed reactor, and thereafter separating the vanadium halide or oxyhalide from the other reaction products, the reaction being conducted in a fluidised bed reactor equipped with internal filters to prevent carryover of entrained solids with the vanadium halide or oxyhalide.
