Abstract:
A method of producing carbon black under conventional operating conditions and in conventional furnace carbon black equipment in which the feedstock comprises a carbon-containing material in polymeric form in a liquid, solid, or solution state.
Abstract:
AN ELECTROLYTIC CELL HAVING A HEAT EXCHANGING SHELL DISPOSED THEREIN AND DIVIDING THE CELL CONTAINER INTO AN UPPER AND LOWER ELECTROLYTE CHAMBER. ELECTRODE TUBE MEANS EXTEND THROUGH SAID SHELL AND ARE IN COMMUNICATION WITH SAID ELECTROLYTE CHAMBER. ELECTRODE MEANS ARE DISPOSED IN SAID ELECTRODE TUBE MEANS IN A MANNER TO PRESERVE SAID COMMUNICATION. DOWNCOMER TUBE MEANS, INTERSPERSED AMONG SAID ELECTRODE TUBE MEANS, ALSO EXTEND THROUGH THE SHELL INTO COMMUNICATION WITH SAID ELECTROLYTE CHAMBER. BAFFLE ARRANGEMENTS IN SAID SHELL, AND ARRANGEMENTS OF SAID ELECTRODE TUBE MEANS AND SAID DOWNCOMER TUBES, IMPROVE THE EFFICIENCY OF THE CELL.
Abstract:
In an electrochemical process, the reaction takes place within the confines of a porous electrode element. The feed materials are introduced into the bottom of this porous electrode element by means of a sparger which is positioned within the bulk of the electrolyte adjacent a bottom surface of said electrode element.
