Abstract:
The present invention relates to reduction of corrosion. The present invention includes a method of decreasing corrosion during ammonia extraction. The method includes performing a process to extract ammonia using ammonia extraction equipment. The ammonia extraction equipment includes an ammonia absorber, an ammonia desorber, and an aqueous solution. The aqueous solution includes an acid or an ammonium salt thereof. The method also includes sparging an oxygen-containing gas into the solution in the ammonia absorber, the ammonia desorber, or therebetween. The invention also provides a system that can perform the method.
Abstract:
An article exhibiting flame resistant or flame retardant (FR) property including a fabric that has received a pre-treatment applied dye or print or combinations thereof; and a post-treatment applied FR additive. The fabric includes a primary yarn including a fiber having vapor phase action and a partially aromatic polyamide fiber.
Abstract:
Claimed is a process for producing a phosphorus-containing ligand, preferably a diphosphite ligand structure (DLS) such as structure I. The method includes contacting a phosphorochloridite (structure II) with a compound having the structure X-OH (which can be a bisaryl compound), and a tertiary organic amine to provide structure I' and as prefered embodiment structure I.
Abstract:
Disclosed are processes for applying dyes, stain blocker and anti-soil compositions on BCF yarns during cable or air twisting processes, or heat setting processes, prior to weaving, knitting or tufting. Further discloses are process for applying dyes, stain blocker and anti-soil compositions on BCF yarns prior to heat setting. The processes forego the need to dye and otherwise treat carpets and other textiles made from the BCF yarn using current methods. Also disclosed are systems, BCF yarns, and carpets made from the BCF yarn treated by the disclosed process.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention relate to methods for the biosynthesis of di- or trifunctional C7 alkanes in the presence of isolated enzymes or in the presence of a recombinant host cell expressing those enzymes. The di- or trifunctional C7 alkanes are useful as intermediates in the production of nylon-7, nylon-7,x, nylon-x,7, and polyesters.
Abstract:
A novel nickel particulate form is provided that efficiently forms a zero-valent nickel complex with a phosphorus-containing ligands in an organic liquid to form a hydrocyanation catalyst. Particles in the nickel particulate form comprise nickel crystallites. For example, the nickel particulate form can have a BET Specific Surface Area of at least about 1 m2/gm; an average crystallite size less than about 20-25 nm, the nickel particulate form can have at least 10% of the crystallites in the nickel form can have a diameter (C10) of less than about 10 nm, and/or there are on average at least about 1015 surface crystallites per gram nickel. A ratio of BET SSA to C50 for the nickel particulate form can be at least about 0.1×109 m/gm and preferably at least about 0.4×109 m/gm. Methods of preparation and use are also provided.
