Abstract:
An aluminum-silicon alloy comprising aluminum as the principal metal, with silicon, magnesium and copper in substantial amounts and iron, titanium, magnesium and zinc in lesser amounts.
Abstract:
HETEROGENEOUS COMPOSITIONS, STABLE AGAINST SEDIMENTATION, ARE MADE BY SUSPENDING AN INSOLUBLE SOLID COMPONENT IN A LIQUID MIXTURE OF TWO COMPONENTS, ONE MORE AND THE OTHER LESS DENSE THAN THE SOLID COMPONENT, IN SUCH PROPORTIONS THAT THE DENSITY OF THE LIQUID MIXTURE APPROXIMATES CLOSELY THAT OF THE SOLID COMPONENT. EXEMPLARY COMPOSITIONS ARE SUSPENSIONS OF BERYLLIUM HYDRIDE IN (1) 82 VOLUME PERCENT PENTABORANE, 18 VOLUME PERCENT TRIMETHYLALUMINUM, AND (2) 93 VOLUME PERCENT PENTABORANE, 7 VOLUME PERCENT DECABORANE.
Abstract:
A process is disclosed for desulfurization of coal which comprises: digesting, in a digestion zone, coal and a Group IA or IIA metal oxide or mixtures thereof in the presence of a fused metal chloride salt medium, which medium is capable of dissolving sulfur-containing organic compounds present in the coal and which has a melting point below the digestion temperature; passing anhydrous hydrogen chloride into the digestion zone and removing from the digestion zone desulfurized coal. Subsequent refining of the desulfurized coal is also disclosed.
Abstract:
A method of improving the quality of the bones and/or increasing the bone strength of animals, including humans, cattle, sheep, goats, swine and poultry without deleterious effects on the animals or products of the animals by adding a small effective amount of zeolite to the feed of the animals or directly to the animals in the form of a capsule or tablet for example.
Abstract:
Titanium oxide containing concentrates are recovered from sand composed in the particle size range of 100 mesh and smaller of titanium oxides, heavy metal silicates, and silica. A plural stage flotation process is used. In the first stage the sand in the above size range is subjected to flotation using air and an anionic collector to yield a heavy mineral concentrate. The second stage flotation involves treating this heavy mineral concentrate with nitrogen and an anionic collector to float off the heavy metal silicates, the titanium oxide concentrate remaining in the tailings.
