Abstract:
A method for deuterium enrichment by the infrared-induced addition reaction of a deuterium halide with an unsaturated aliphatic compound. A gaseous mixture of a hydrogen halide feedstock and an unsaturated aliphatic compound, particularly an olefin, is irradiated to selectively vibrationally excite the deuterium halide contained therein. The excited deuterium halide preferentially reacts with the unsaturated aliphatic compound to produce a deuterated addition product which is removed from the reaction mixture.
Abstract:
Compositions of amine derivatives of acrylated epoxidized soybean oil, which are the reaction products of an organic amine with the reaction product of epoxidized soybean oil with acrylic acid or methacrylic acid, and an acrylyl compound which are useful as coatings and inks are cured by radiation. The compositions can also contain photosensitizers and/or pigments.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a process for the preparation of coformycin, 3-(.beta.-D-ribofuranosyl)-6,7,8-trihydroimidazo[4,5-d][1,3]diazepin-8(R)-ol, through a synthetic route from a new derivative of 9.beta.-D-ribofuranosyl-purine and other synthetic intermediates involved in the process and their preparation.
Abstract:
Process for preparation of a solid phase dispersion of photoconductive materials in an insulating binder matrix from a film forming insulating polymeric resin and an organo-selenium compound capable of undergoing selective decomposition in response to an appropriate stimulus; whereby, elemental selenium is extruded from said organo-selenium compound and deposited in the binder matrix. Because this extrusion/deposition of elemental selenium can be performed selectively, it is possible to prepare binder films having photoconductive image patterns which are suitable for use in range extended and conventional xerography.
Abstract:
The invention provides a method of altering the friability of abrasive particles particularly diamond and cubic boron nitride particles, by subjecting the particles to selected irradiation capable of producing internal defects in the particles. The irradiation is preferably a neutron flux.
Abstract:
A composition and method for the oxidation of organic contaminants in waste water by subjection to heterogeneous photosensitized oxidation is disclosed.
Abstract:
A process for the preparation of 2-hydroxyalkylphosphine oxides and sulfides. The corresponding 2-acyloxyphosphine is hydrolyzed (or alcoholyzed) and oxidized, in either order, to produce the desired 2-hydroxyalkylphosphine oxide or sulfide. The product may contain one, two or three 2-hydroxyalkyl groups, depending on the phosphine starting material used.
Abstract:
An improved method for producing interferon which comprises irradiating interferon-producing human or animal cells in vitro with ultraviolet irradiation.
Abstract:
The instant invention relates to a process for separating a material into two or more parts in each of which the abundances of the isotopes of a given element differ from the abundances of the isotopes of the same material in said material. More particularly, the invention relates to a method for the isotopically selective excitation of gas phase molecules by multiple infrared photon absorption followed by a step wherein more of the excited molecules than nonexcited molecules are converted to a chemically different form which may be separated by means known in the art. This invention is useful for, but not limited to, the separation of the principal isotopes of uranium.
Abstract:
The instant invention relates to a method for preparing paraffin-sulphonic acids by photochemical sulphoxidation of paraffinic hydrocarbons. The invention also relates to a device for carrying out this method.The invention relates more particlarly to a method for continuously preparing paraffin-sulphonic acids by photochemical sulphoxidation of paraffinic hydrocarbons comprising the steps of reacting a gaseous mixture of sulphurous acid anhydride and oxygen with a liquid paraffiaic phase and injecting at least a portion of said gaseous mixture into said liquid phase in the form of a finely divided dispersion in a recycling fraction of said paraffinic phase which carries said gaseous mixture.
