Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a multi-filament yarn formed at least in part from filaments having cross-sectional zig-zag or double “W “shape with a 180 degree axis of symmetry. The filaments have a denier per filament generally in the range of about 0.1 to about 4.0. Fabrics made from yarns formed with the filaments have high moisture wicking, soft hand, and silk-like lustrous appearance.

Abstract:
A method for producing a spliced yarn comprising alternating predetermined lengths of a first and a second yarn and to the yarn are disclosed.A predetermined length of a first yarn is drawn through an intermingling jet. A leading portion of a second yarn is forwarding into the intermingling jet and into overlapping relationship with a trailing portion of the first yarn. Using a pressurized fluid the overlapped portions of the first and second yarns are intermingled, thereby to splice the leading portion of second yarn to the trailing portion of the first yarn. The first yarn is then severed, and the spliced portion and a predetermined length of the second yarn are drawn through the intermingling jet. The cycle is repeated with the second yarn being the currently drawn yarn and the first yarn being forwarded into overlapping relationship therewith.Preferably the yarns are held in the intermingling jet, as by a clamp disposed forwardly of the jet, while the intermingled splice is formed. The pressurized fluid forming the intermingled splice has a pressure in the range from sixty (60) to one hundred (100) pounds per square inch (413.4 to 689.4 Kilopascals), and more preferably, a pressure in the range from sixty (60) to eighty (80) pounds per square inch (413.4 to 551.2 Kilopascals). Each splice so formed must be able to withstand a tension force of at least 6.8 pounds (3.1 kilograms). The predetermined lengths of the first and second yarn may be equal or different. Preferably the first and second yarns are solution dyed to be differently colored.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method and system for recovering power from the gaseous stream produced by a paraxylene - air oxidation reaction. Specifically, the invention is based on heating the gaseous stream from the oxidation reaction to a temperature of at least 600°C, recovering energy through an expander, heating the expander vent stream and recovering heat from the vent stream. The recovered heat is used to maintain the oxidation process, purification process, start-up the process, or re¬ start the process after an interruption.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides methods and apparatuses providing uniform polyamide pellets. In one example, a method can include maintaining a vacuum during a pre-casting polymerization cycle of the cyclic process such that the pre-casting polymerization cycle produces a reactive polyamide polymer with decreased pre-casting polymerization cycle time, extruding the reactive polyamide polymer during a casting cycle by adjusting process parameters including vessel pressure and extrusion valve opening to generate a throughput of extruded polymer, and cutting the extruded polymer at a cutting speed substantially proportional to the throughput to provide polyamide pellets.
Abstract:
The invention provides an oxygen Andrussow process for production of hydrogen cyanide from a methane-containing feedstock such as natural gas in the presence of oxygen and ammonia over a platinum catalyst, wherein the production of byproduct organonitrile impurities, such as acrylonitrile, is reduced. Limiting the content of C 2 + hydrocarbons in the methane feedstock in the oxygen Andrussow process, in contrast to the air Andrussow process, has been found to reduce formation of organonitriles, such as acrylonitrile. The organonitrile impurities can require additional processing for removal, cause fouling of equipment, and can also contribute to hydrogen cyanide polymerization. Reduction of C 2 + hydrocarbon levels to less than 2 wt%, or 1 wt%, or less than 0.1 wt%, in the methane can provide an improved yield of higher purity HCN. Reduction of C 2 + hydrocarbon levels also solves the problem of polymer buildup in process equipment, reducing downtime required for cleaning when higher C 2 + hydrocarbon levels are present in the reaction feed.
Abstract:
This document describes biochemical pathways for producing butadiene by forming two vinyl groups in a butadiene synthesis substrate. These pathways described herein rely on enzymes such as mevalonate diphosphate decarboxylase, isoprene synthase, and dehydratases for the final enzymatic step.
