Title: Substances containing a lower halide of titanium and an aluminium halide
Inventor: STANLEY ROBERT HOLROYD
IPC: C01F7/48
Filed: 1962-01-23
Abstract: Substances containing a lower halide of titanium and aluminium halide are formed by reduction of titanium tetrahalide with A1 in the presence of hydrogen halide.  The halide may be chloride, bromide or iodide.  The tetrahalide is present in amount at least stiochiometric with respect to the A1.  The reaction, which is exothermic, is carried out under reflux; liquid diluent, e.g. aliphatic hydrocarbons or chlorinated hydrocarbons, or excess titanium tetrahalide, in which cases the mixture may be heated to boiling point until the reaction starts, or aromatic hydrocarbons, may be added.  The reaction is performed in the absence of moisture or oxygen; an inert atmosphere, e.g. N2 or Ar, may be present. Hydrogen halide, which may be in excess, is passed continuously or intermittently into the reaction mixture.  The A1 is preferably finely divided, e.g. of particle size 0.5 m .  The product is a slurry from which a brown or purple-brown solid may be recovered.  The product may then be milled dry or in liquid, and used with an organo-metallic compound, e.g. a Group I-III metal alkyl or alkyl halide, to form a Ziegler-Nalta catalyst for polymerization of unsaturated hydrocarbons; the metal may be A1. The product may also be used as a feed or addition to a feed in a vapour phase oxidation reactor to form nucleating agents for TiO2, which is prodiced predominantly as rutile.

Abstract: 1,204,079. 079. Film winding device. KOMBINAT VEB PENTACON DRESDEN KAMERA-UND KINOWERKE. Jan.16, 1969, No.2566/69. Heading G2A. A film winding device has means to sense the winding diameter of a take-up spool, so that on movement of a winding lever through a constant angle, the film advances a constant amount. A winding lever 7, biased towards an initial stop 5 by a spring 12, on rotation to an end stop 6 contacts a pin 8 projecting from a wheel 3 and by means of gearwheels 21, 22, rigidly mounted on a shaft 20 and biased to rotate anticlockwise and spring claw 26 turns a film take-up spool 14. A sensing lever 1 is positioned according to the winding diameter and through a gear system 17, 18, 19 sets a stop surface 15 against which a pin 9 on the wheel 3 rests on return of the lever 7. The angle through which the lever 7 turns before contacting pin 8 is therefore dependent on the winding diameter. (For Figure see next page)

Title: Process for the sulphonation and sulphation of organic compounds
IPC: B01D47/00
Filed: 1963-09-17
Abstract: Organic compounds in liquid form are sulphonated or sulphated by passing gaseous SO3 in an inert gas in the form of a sheet-like gas stream of substantially rectangular cross-section at least three times as wide as thick, together with the organic compound in the form of an annular stream not more than about 0.1 inch thick, into an elongated reaction zone of cross-section substantially the same as the gas stream, so that a film of liquid flows down the periphery of the reaction zone and surrounding the gas stream, the organic compound being cooled prior to, and during the reaction, and the sulphonated or sulphated compound being finally separated from the gas mixture.  The process is applicable to any compound known to be sulphonatable or sulphatable by SO3, e.g. fatty alcohols (e.g. lauryl, myristyl and cetyl) and ethoxylated fatty alcohols and alkyl phenols, or olefins (e.g. tetradecene, hexadecene), aromatic compounds and alkylated aromatic compounds (e.g. toluene, ethylbenzene and dodecylbenzene).
