Abstract:
Environmentally objectionable waste streams caused by rinsing automobiles can be eliminated by using a small volume of rinse water sprayed onto the automobile surface at a nozzle outlet pressure of at least about 120 pounds per square inch.
Abstract:
Protein containing broken microbial cell material is treated for nucleic acid removal and then texturized by homogenizing an aqueous slurry of ruptured cells and further conditioning the ruptured cells by a combination of heating, drying, and rehydration which may include pH adjustment, calcium treatment, and other formulation ingredients.
Abstract:
Catalysts are provided which are useful in the oxidation of olefins to aldehydes and conjugated dienes and in ammoxidation of olefins to nitriles. The catalysts comprise the combined oxides of uranium and molybdenum and the combined oxides of uranium and molybdenum in combination with arsenic, bismuth, tin, vanadium, iron, nickel and cobalt.
Abstract:
The invention described herein is a process for the purification of carbon. That process provides for the treatment of carbon with hydrofluoric acid, or a mixture of hydrofluoric acid and nitric acid, followed in each case by treatment with hot aqueous hydrochloric acid. The carbon thus purified is notably effective for use as electrode material in a demineralization cell, i.e., one used for the demineralization of water.
Abstract:
The secondary electrical energy storage battery of this invention comprises a carbon cathode, an aluminum metal anode, and a fused salt electrolyte containing an aluminum halide in admixture with one or more of the halides of the alkali metals. The electrical energy storage device described has the advantage of being operable in a lower temperature range than presently known fused salt batteries.
Abstract:
A high capacitance low voltage electrolytic capacitor consists essentially of a pair of paste electrodes and a separator saturated with electrolyte which functions as an electronic insulator and an ionic conductor. One of said paste electrodes is composed of active carbon and the opposing paste electrode is composed of a powdered metal selected from the group consisting of copper, nickel, cadmium, zinc, iron, manganese, lead, magnesium, titanium, silver, cobalt, indium, selenium and tellurium, said electrodes being prepared by mixing finely divided particulate material of the above electrode materials with electrolyte to form a viscous paste and compressing the paste to form the electrodes.
Abstract:
A VAPOR PHASE CATALYTIC OXYDEHYDROGENATION PROCESS FOR THE CONVERSION OF A STREAM OF MIXED ISOMERIC ISOAMYLENES, METHYL BUTANOLS OR MIXTURES THEREOF TO ISOPRENE WITH RELATIVELY SHORT CONTACT TIMES AT A REACTOR TEMPERATURE IN THE RANGE OF 500*F. TO 1100*F. AT FROM 0.5 TO ABOUT 10 ATMOSPHERES PRESSURE. THE CATALYSTS COMPRISE AN ALKALI METAL AS AN ESSENTIAL CATALYTIC INGREDIENT.
Abstract:
An electrical energy storage device exhibiting high energy storage capacity comprises a novel silicon carbide cathode and an aluminum-lithium alloy anode, the pair of electrodes being immersed in or in contact with a molten salt electrolyte composed of a lithium halide and one or more of the halides of the alkali metals or the alkaline earth metals or combinations thereof.
Abstract:

THEREIN. THE MOTOR OIL COMPRISES A BLEND OF TWC NEUTRAL OILS AND A DEWAXED CATALYTICALLY CRACKED CYCLE OIL.
Abstract:
A PROCESS IS DESCRIBED FOR THE RECOVERY OF FERTILIZER GRADE AMMONIUM SALTS IN HIGH YIELDS FROM ACRYLONITRILE WASTE WATER PROCESS STREAMS CONTAINING WATER-SOLUBLE ORGANIC TARS BY THE REMOVAL OF WATER AND VOLATILE ORGANIC MATTER FROM THE WASTE WATER PROCESS STREAMS IN THE PRESENCE OF A WATER MISCIBLE SOLVENT, RECOVERING THE SOLID AMMONIUM SALT FROM THE RESIDUAL AMMONIUM SALT-SOLVENT-TAR MIXTURE AND RECOVERING THE SOLVENT FOR RE-USE.
