Abstract:
Titanium-aluminum-silicon-oxide molecular sieves having use as molecular sieves and as catalyst compositions in hydrocarbon conversion and other processes. The molecular sieves have a unit empirical formula on an anhydrous basis of mR: (TixAlySiz)O2 wherein "R" represents at least one organic + emplating agent: "m" represents the moles of "R" present per mole of (TixAlySiz)O2: and "x", "y" and "z" represent the mole fractions of titanium, aluminum and silicon, respectively present as tetrahedal oxides.
Abstract:
Molecular sieve compsitions are prepared by extracting aluminum and substituting titanium and/or iron for extracted aluminum to give molecular sieve products containing framework titanium and/or iron atoms. The process of preparing the titanium and/or iron-containing molecular sieves involves contacting a starting zeolite with a solution or slurry of a fluoro salt of titanium and/or iron under effective process conditions to provide for aluminum extraction and substitution of titanium and/or iron.

The molecular sieves have a unit empirical formula on an anhydrous basis of mR: (TixSiy)O2, wherein "R" represents at least one organic templating agent; "m" represents the moles of "R" present per mole of (TixSiy)O2; and "x" and "y" represent the mole fractions of titanium and silicon, respectively, present as tetrahedral oxides.
Abstract:
Method of and apparatus for making a shaped crosslinked extruded polymeric product by extruding compacted, melted polymer, e.g., polyethylene, into a mixer (18) formed on or fitted to the discharge end of an extruder, injecting proportionate amounts of a mixture of compounding ingredients including olefinically unsaturated hydrolyzable silane, free-radical generator and, preferably, a silanol condensation catalyst into the compacted melted polymer. The polymer and compounding ingredients are blended in the mixer (18) until the silane is grafted to said polymer, and the resulting grafted polymer mixed with the silanol condensation catalyst is extruded through a die to form the product of the required final shape. The resulting product is subjected to the action of H2O until the grafted polymer is crosslinked.
Abstract:
In processes for the hydrolysis of alkylene oxide to form alkylene glycols in the presence of selectivity-enhancing organometalate the organometalate is provided in a water-insoluble phase, a stabilizing material is used to enhance the stability of the organometalate. The stabilizing material is water-soluble and comprises a cation and a selectivity-enhancing metalate anion.

Process for the production, selectively, of Cn+1 alcohols from a Cn olefin. The process comprises reacting the Cn olefin with carbon monoxide and hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst consisting essentially of molybdenum sulfide and an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal compound.
Abstract:
A casing article (21) for use in automatic production of frankfurters and the like includes a tubular core (12) and a shirred casing stick (22) carried by the core. The core (12) can function as a disposable stuffing horn and, for this purpose, it has one end receivable in the discharge (52) of the stuffing machine including a flange (18) which is engaged and rotated by a rotating chuck (34) of the stuffing apparatus. Also disclosed are modifications to the stuffing machine to make the machine compatible with the casing article, an end-of-casing monitor (82), a carrier (51) for moving the casing article to a stuff position and a method for operating the stuffing machine to stuff out the casing and produce linked frankfurters.
Abstract:
Method for replacing a coolant containing PCB in electrical induction apparatus having a tank containing the PCB-containing coolant and an electrical winding and porous solid cellulosic electrical insulation immersed in the PCB-containing coolant with a substantially PCB-free permanent coolant to convert said electrical apparatus into one in which the rate of elution of PCB into the PCB-free coolant is below the maximum allowable rate of elution into the coolant of an electrical apparatus rated as non-PCB, the porous electrical insulation being impregnated with said PCB-containing coolant. The method comprises the steps of: (a) draining the PCB-containing coolant from said tank to remove a major portion of the PCB-containing coolant contained by it; (b) filling the tank with an interim dielectric cooling liquid that is (1) miscible with PCB, (ii) sufficiently low in viscosity to circulate within said tank and penetrate the interstices of the porous solid electrical insulation, and (iii) capable of being readily separated from said PCB; (c) electrically operating the electrical induction apparatus for a period sufficient to elute PCB contained in the PCB-containing coolant impregnated in the porous insulation therefrom into the interim dielectric cooling liquid; (d) thereafter draining the interim dielectric cooling liquid containing the eluted PCB from the tank; (e) repeating the cylce of steps (b), (c) and (d), when the rate of elution of PCB into the interim dielectric cooling liquid exceeds 0,55 ppm of PCB per day based on the weight of the permanent dielectric coolant, a sufficient number of times until the rate of elution of PCB into the interim dielectric cooling liquid does not exceed the rate of 50 ppm PCB based on the weight of the permanent coolant after 90 days of electrical operation; and (f) filling the tank with a substantially PCB-free permanent coolant selected from the group consisting of high boiling, high viscosity, silicone oils, synthetic ester fluids, poly-alpha-olefin oils and hydrocarbon oils.
Abstract:
A cryogenic process to more efficiently separate nitrogen from a nitrogen-containing hydrocarbon stream wherein the separate recovery of natural gas liquids is increased and the final nitrogen removal from natural gas is accomplished at lower than conventional pressures. The nitrogen-methane separation column is driven by a closed loop heat pump circuit that utilizes a nitrogen-methane mixture.
