Abstract: The invention relates to a novel herbicidal association as a result of the combination of a) 2-chloro-6-nitro-3-phenoxyaniline and b) one or more herbicides of the hydroxybenzonitrile type, of which bromoxynil octanoate or bromoxynil heptanoate may be mentioned in particular. The ratio by weight of a/b is preferably between 0.1 and 10. The 2-chloro-6-nitro-3-phenoxyaniline is preferably applied at a dosage rate which has no, or little, herbicidal activity.

Abstract: The invention provides a bleach fix agent comprising a dilute solution of an alkaline metal or ammonium thiosulphite or a mixture thereof and iron (III) EDTA together with a soluble sulphite. The invention is characterised in that the soluble sulphite is present in an excess of the amount required for stabilization whereby the sulphite can be sacrificially destroyed by oxidizing agents in use thereby to neutralize the oxidizing effects upon the thiosulphate. The invention is particularly suitable for ''RX'' processes and results in the possibility or eliminating the stop-bath without allowing staining of the photographic material to occur.

Date Jul. 25, 1991.Skimmed milk is subjected to acidification by electrodialysis in one or two successive three-compartment electrodialyzers. The resulting milk is at a pH of 4.5 or 2.8. Milk at a pH of 4.5 may be used for obtaining refined casein as a substitute for rennin casein. Milk at a pH of 2.8 when sterilized and filtered to selectively extract a whey permeate and serum proteins becomes casein in its natural state soluble at a pH in the range 2.8 to 4, which casein may be neutralized in a two-compartment electrodialyzer. The acid permeate is passed over a strong cationic resin in order to be used as an acid agent in the initial electrodialyzers.

Abstract: Fluxing compositions containing compounds that generate acids upon photoinitiation from a light source such as Hg/Xe ultraviolet (UV) light sources are described. The acids clean oxides from the printed circuit boards (PCBs) under assembly and then volatilize with little or no need for a cleaning step, or cleaning only with water. The compounds that release an oxide removing agent, sometimes called a "photoacid" include metal and organic onium salts and furyl compounds bearing a carbonyl group. Such fluxing compositions can be used mixed with typical solder formulations, such as lead/tin solders, or applied topically thereto; both techniques permit the assembly of PCBs more easily and with high quality bonds.

Abstract: A simple and effective biochemical process solves the problems associated with sulfur in bitumen by removing sulfur from active participation in SOx-producing combustion reactions. In one aspect, an emulsion of bitumen and water is contacted with a microbiological desulfurization agent for a time and under conditions effective to reduce the oxidizable sulfur content of the bitumen. The preferred agents do not affect the heating value of the fuel, but selectively oxidize organic sulfur to water-soluble sulfates which can either be physically removed or chemically bound so that they do not cause SOx production. Multistage reaction is employed to enhance sulfur removal.
