Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a process for reducing or substantially eliminating chromium in non-volatile residue obtained from a certain processes, and particularly from cyclohexane oxidation processes.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for spinning filaments of a polymeric material includes a first temperature control arrangement (96) for heating a spin pack (24) to a first predetermined reference temperature greater than the predetermined polymer inlet temperature such that the temperature across a polymer filter holder (30) and the spinneret plate (36) in the spin pack (24) is substantially uniform, whereby the temperature of the filaments emanating from the spinneret plate is substantially uniform. A plate assembly (56) having at least one polymer flow passage therein is disposed between the outlet of the pump and the inlet of the spin pack. A second temperature control arrangement (100) for independently controlling the temperature of the plate assembly (56) to a second predetermined reference temperature is provided. The second predetermined reference temperature is selectable to a temperature above, equal to, or below the predetermined polymer inlet temperature, whereby the temperature of polymer conveyed through the polymer flow passage in the plate assembly (56) is selectably controllable to a predetermined polymer temperature lying within a predetermined range of the second predetermined reference temperature.
Abstract:
A beaming apparatus that includes a creel (65) and warper head (67), the creel (65) being positioned adjacent to the warper head (67), the creel (65) having elastomeric yarn unwinder assemblies (68) which include a guide support (69) that supports rotating guides (41) and stationary wound cakes (39) of elastomeric yarn, a thread guide (51) for orienting the unwound yarn towards the warper head (67), a front guide and tension bar (53) positioned near the end of the creel (65), and a pivoting reed (57) positioned before the warper head (67) for orienting the yarn onto a beam (61) are provided.

A beaming apparatus that includes a creel and warper head, the creel being positioned adjacent to the warper head, the creel having elastomeric yarn unwinder assemblies which include a guide support that supports rotating guides and stationary wound cakes of elastomeric yarn, a thread guide for orienting the unwound yarn towards the warper head, a front guide and tension bar positioned near the end of the creel, and a pivoting reed positioned before the warper head for orienting the yarn onto a beam are provided.
Abstract:
A sensor (80) for use with a yarn processing apparatus that includes at least one roll (56A-56E) over at least a portion of the surface of which at least one yarn (Y) is conveyed is operative to generate an accumulation signal representative of a wrap accumulation of yarn circumferentially around the surface of the roll.
Abstract:
A process for the production of a carboxylic acid or its ester by catalytic liquid phase oxidation of a corresponding precursor in acetic acid as solvent, said process comprising: (i) forming a reaction medium comprising acetic acid, oxidation catalyst, precursor and oxidant; (ii) optionally recycling methyl acetate produced from the acetic acid as a by-product back to the reaction medium; (iii) introducing additional methyl acetate and/or methanol into the reaction medium, said additional methyl acetate and/or methanol being additional to any recovered methyl acetate recycled back to the reaction medium.
Abstract:
