Abstract: When a particulate material is admitted to a storage vessel (10), it is passed through an electrode system (12, 14), the electrodes have a sieve like construction to allow the material to pass therethrough. A voltage source and signal generator (16) applies a potential difference betwen electrodes (12 and 14) to create an electric field between the electrodes which stops the passage of the material between the electrodes. Consequently a mass of material is held back by the electrodes. The electric field is controlled by the voltage source and signal generator (16) to release the held back mass of material intermittently. This avoids the formation of a cone of material in the storage vessel and improves the distribution of the particles by preventing the segregation of particles caused by the coarser particles rolling down the sides ofa cone of material.

Abstract: Lumber, plywood and other wood products are preserved from attack by fungi, termites and wood-destroying insects as well as fire and flame by treatment with a novel zirconium borate-containing preservative composition. The preservative can be formed by combination of a source of boron such as boric acid and the water-soluble salts thereof with a water-soluble zirconium salt. The ZrO2:B2O3 weight ratio in the preservative composition is in the range of from about 0.75:1 to about 10:1.

Abstract: This invention relates to boron-containing compositions for use in glaze compositions. There is provided a boron-containing composition for use in glaze production, which composition is obtainable by a process which comprises heating to a temperature sufficiently high that calcination occurs but insufficient for the formation of a homogeneous melt a mixture comprising components capable, under the conditions of heating, of forming the oxides B2O3, SiO2, Al2O3, Na2O and optionally CaO in proportions such that the relative percentages by weight of the said oxides, based on the total weight of the said oxides, are as follows: 10 to 18 % B2O3, 40 to 65 % SiO2, 17 to 32% Al2O3, 4 to 9 % Na2O, and O to 10 % CaO. The boron-containing compositions according to the present invention may be used in glaze compositions, suitably frit-free or boron-free frit-containing glaze compositions.

Abstract: Lignocellulosic-based composite products containing a pesticidal amount of calcium borate is resistant to attack by wood destroying fungi and insects. The preferred calcium borates are the calcium polytriborates having a CaO:B2O3 molar ratio of about 2:3 and calcium hexaborates, having a CaO:B2O3 ratio of 1:3. Composites can be produced by combining the calcium borate with particles of the lignocellulosic material and an adhesive resin, and forming the composite, generally with heat and pressure.

Abstract: Method and improving causticizing efficiency in the conventional lime recausticization portion of alkaline pulping processes, such as are commonly used in the pulping and bleaching of wood and non-wood cellulose fiber materials. An aqueous solution of sodium carbonate is reacted with lime to produce sodium hydroxide (causticization) in the presence of borate to improve the causticization reaction efficiency. Borate is provided in an amount sufficient to maintain a boron to sodium molar ratio in the range of between about 0.001:1 and 0.4:1, resulting in an increased causticization efficiency. An added benefit is reduction of inorganic deadload in the pulping circuit.

Abstract: An improved method is provided for producing crystalline calcium hexaborate tetrahydrate, synthetic nobleite, by the reaction of boric acid and lime in an aqueous slurry. Reaction conditions include boric acid to water molar ratios of greater than 0.25:1, lime to boric acid molar ratios in the range of 0.05-0.15:1 and temperatures in the range of 85 DEG C - 105 DEG C. A novel crystalline product is produced having a unique crystal habit resulting in improved physical properties. Dehydration of this product produced a novel amorphous, anhydrous product having similar crystal habit and physical properties.
