Abstract:
Sulfur-laden liquid organic phase dimethyl polysulfide (DMPS) is caused to rise from a sour gas well by reaction of the gaseons sulfur component within the well with a sulfur solvent, typically dimethyl disulfide (DMDS). The DMPS is contacted by an extraction or stripping liquid in a vertical column continuous multistage countercurrent flow extractor especially designed to promote high interfacial area contact between the liquids while flowing in opposing directions within the column.
Abstract:
Electrodes with leads deposited on different surfaces of a piezoelectric polymeric film or films are easily and quickly electrically connected by forming a continuous channel through the film and lead to form a pierced lead, and then applying an electrically conductive material, by any one of several known processes, onto the film over the channel to thereby form a connecting lead, the conductive material being permitted to penetrate the channel to effect a continuity of conductive material between the pierced lead and connecting lead.
Abstract:
Fluorinated polymer based compositions which include aluminum silicates and electrical and fiber optic cable constructions made from such compositions have improved low smoke and flame retardant properties.
Abstract:
Compounds which contain peroxide linkages as well as the radical of a hindered amine light stabilizer group are provided. These compounds function as polymerization initiators which cause the hindered amine stabilizer to be chemically bound to the polymer.
Abstract:
Polyolefins are stabilized against the harmful effects of U.V.-light by incorporating therein certain organosulfides. The organosulfides may be used alone or in synergistic combination with two classes of known light stabilizers, namely the benzophenones and the esters of aromatic acids.
Abstract:
A controlled release composition of biologically active materials is prepared by reacting a biologically active agent, aqueous polyhydroxy polymer, inorganic salt, and optional filler(s), drying the product and then grinding the product to the desire particle size. The product is then used, for example, for controlling pests.
Abstract:
A solar-control glass that has acceptable visible light transmission, absorbs near infrared wavelength light (NIR) and reflects midrange infrared light (low emissivity mid IR) along with a preselected color within the visible light spectrum for reflected light is provided. Also provided is a method of producing the improved, coated, solar-controlled glass. The improved glass has a solar energy (NIR) absorbing layer comprising tin oxide having a dopant such as antimony and a low emissivity control layer (low emissivity) capable of reflecting midrange infrared light and comprising tin oxide having fluorine and/or phosphorus dopant. A separate iridescence color suppressing layer as described in the prior art is generally not needed to achieve a neutral (colorless) appearance for the coated glass, however an iridescence suppressing layer or other layers may be combined with the two layer assemblage provided by the present invention. Ifdesired, multiple solar control and/or multiple low emissivity layers can be utilized. The NIR layer and the low emissivity layer can be separate portions ofa single tin oxide film since both layers are composed of doped tin oxide. A method of producing the coated solar control glass is also provided.
Abstract:
A process for the preparation of 1-chloro-2,2-difluoroethane ("142") by fluorinating 1,1,2-trichloroethane in the gas phase with HF in the presence of a fluorination catalyst. 142 is a known foam blowing agent.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a method for manufacturing polyesters, in particular, to using a lithium titanyl oxalate as the catalyst for such reaction to provide fast reactions with excellent color properties for the resulting polyester. The present invention provides an improved method of producing polyester by the polycondensation of polyester forming reactants wherein the improvement comprises utilizing, as the polycondensation catalyst, lithium titanyl oxalate. The improved process produces a polyester of improved color verses other titanyl oxalate catalysts and a novel polyester without the presence of antimony.
