Abstract:
Novel zirconium compounds of sulfonic acids are disclosed which have the following general formula: [R(SO 3 ) x ] y [R'(SO 3 ) x' ] y' Zr [(O 3 S) x'' R''] y'' [(O 3 S) x''' R'''] y''' where R, R', R'', R''' are independently substituted or unsubstituted, alkyl, alkylene, aryl or alkaryl radicals and x, x', x'', x''', y, y', y'' and y''' are sufficient in value to supply 4 sulfonate groups to the molecule, and the use of such zirconium compounds as catalysts in organic chemical reactions.
Abstract:
A lithographic printing ink contains an ester-modified carboxyl-containing copolymer as a pigment dispersant. The ester-modified carboxyl-containing copolymer is the reaction product of a long chain alcohol and a styrene maleic anhydride copolymer, wherein at least 35% of the carboxyl groups of the styrene maleic anhydride copolymer are esterified. The ink further includes a solvent selected from the group consisting of aliphatic hydrocarbons, aromatic hydrocarbons, and mixtures thereof; a modifying oil; a liquid carrier resin; and a pigment.
Abstract:
Improved apparatus for coating containers having a minimal separation between the body and the finish region comprises a coating hood and means for supplying coating materials to the coating. The improvement consists of a controlled non-turbulent air supply (18) directed downward across the coating-material stream (12). A blower (19) provides process air to a plenum (22), and an angled attenuator plate with a plurality of small holes distributes the process air evenly, to avoid standing waves and regions of high or low air velocity. Several attenuator plates can be juxtaposed to permit removal of particulates by movement of the plates relative to each other.
Abstract:
An electrochromic element (10) useful in an electrochromic glass or mirror device and a process for making such element. The element is a five-layered structure including an electrolyte ion conducting layer (20) interposed between first and second inorganic electrochromic layers (16, 18) which are interposed between a pair of conductive electrodes (12, 14). The second inorganic electrochromic layer (18) is amorphous. The first and second inorganic electrochromic layers are different and are capable of exhibiting color-forming properties complementary to one another upon the incorporation of at least one H, Li, Na, K, Ag, Cu or Tl ion. The electrolyte ion conducting layer may be a copolymer of ethylene oxide, butylene oxide or methyl glycidyl ether, and optionally a small amount of allyl glycidyl ether, along with an ionizable salt, or may be a polyurethane gel formed by reacting the copolymer with triisocyanate, along with an ionizable salt. The second inorganic electrochromic layer comprises a transition element chalconide or halide. The electrochromic element may also comprise a plurality of five-layer structures in tandem, each pair separated by a substrate.
Abstract:
Process for synthesizing 1,1,1-trifluoroethane (143a) in the gaseous phase by reacting 1,1-defluoro-1-chloroethane in gaseous phase in the presence of a Cr catalyst. The process may be run isothermally or adiabatically, without co-feeding air or other oxygen containing gas, in the presence or absence of a Ni, Co, Zn or Mn cocatalyst for the Cr catalyst. The catalyst may be unsupported or supported with a support preferably selected from activated carbon, alumina and fluorided alumina. The formation of olefin byproduct can be kept to less than 10 ppm in accordance with the process of the invention.
Abstract:
Process for synthesizing 1,1,1-trifluoroethane (143a) in the gaseous phase by reacting 1,1-difluoro-1-chloroethane in gaseous phase in the presence of a catalyst selected from the SbV, TiIV,and SnIV salts. The process may be run without co-feeding chlorine gas as a coactivator, in the presence or absence of an impurity selected from HCl and 141b. The catalyst may be unsupported or supported on activated carbon. The formation of olefin byproduct was not detected when the process of the invention was conducted under the conditions described.
Abstract:
A process is disclosed for the manufacture of precious metal salts by the direct reaction of a precious metal and an oxidizing agent in the presence of a nonoxidizing acid.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a process for the removal of sulfur dioxide from a stream of gases comprising contacting said stream with a sulfur dioxide absorbing amount of a liquid absorbent comprising:
a) a non-cyclic sulfone of the formula
R-SO₂-R',
or b) a non-cyclic sulfonamide of the formula where, in the formulas a) or b), R,R'R'' and R''' are primary, secondary or tertiary alkyl, or alkaryl groups wherein the alkyl moieties have from 1 to 20 carbons and R'' and R''' may also be hydrogen, water being substantially insoluble with the sulfone of a) and the sulfonamide of b), and separating the rich sulfur dioxide enriched liquid absorbent from said stream.
