Abstract:
A set for producing illuminated zones of extremely clean atmosphere is provided. The set comprises a laminar flow unit and illuminating equipment consisting of a source of light and a deviating system for the light, the source of light being installed outside and the deviating system inside the zone of extremely clean atmosphere.
Abstract:
Containers for pharmaceuticals can be sterilized by flaming, if the flames burn in a laminar-flow current of air, with little risk of contamination. A device for flame-sterilizing such containers is fitted out with means to produce a laminar-flow air current through the sterilizing part of the device.
Abstract:
Crude DMT containing, as impurities mainly dimethyl isophthalate, dimethyl orthophthalate and p-toluic acid methyl ester, is purified with the use of solvents known to be useful for the recrystallization of DMT in such a manner that the crude DMT in molten state is introduced with agitation into the solvent, the temperature of which is maintained above the temperature of that eutectic mixture of DMT and the main impurities associated therewith which has the highest melting point. As soon as the solvent is saturated with DMT, pure DMT crystallizes. The process is preferably carried out continuously and in a special vertical counter-current washing column.
