Abstract: Disclosed is a method of treating a process stream from a process producing a non-biodegradable alkylene carbonate stream. The alkylene carbonate (11) is hydrolyzed in a strong, aqueous, alkaline solution (21) to form an aqueous alkaline solution (31) of the corresponding alkylene glycol. This solution is then acidfied to a pH of about 8 to 8.5. The acidified solution is aerated in activated sludge to reduce the biological oxugen demand (BOD) of the solution.

Abstract: A support frame serving to hold a filter bag is in the shape of a one-piece collar (1). This is composed of a nonwoven-web-like, dewatered wood pulp. The outer wall (6) of each collar side, together with an internal leg (7) in each case, forms a V-shaped gap (5) into which the filter bag (2) engages. In each corner region, a wedge-shaped gusset (9) is present. By pressing this gusset (9) in the direction of the arrow A, the legs (7) are folded against the outer walls (6) of the collar and, as a result, the filter mat is retained and fixed by adhesive. The collar (1) together with the filter bags can be disposed of, in particular burnt, as an undivided whole. <IMAGE>

Abstract: On dissout du bicarbonate de terre alcaline dans de l'eau et on le met en contact avec des gaz de fumée. Le bicarbonate de terre alcaline dissous réagit avec le SO2 se trouvant dans les gaz de fumée pour former un sulfite de terre alcaline qui se sépare par précipitation de la solution aqueuse. Selon l'invention, la boue sortant de l'étape de désulfuration est soumise à une étape de chauffage qui provoque la conversion du bisulfite de terre alcaline soluble formé pendant l'étape de désulfuration en sulfite insoluble. Les solides sont séparés de la phase aqueuse et sont soumis à une dégradation thermique afin de récupérer l'oxyde de terre alcaline et SO2. L'oxyde de terre alcaline peut être recyclé et réutilisé dans le processus de désulfuration tandis que SO2, qui présente des utilités pratiques comme précurseur dans divers processus chimiques et par conséquent a une valeur commerciale certaine, est liquéfié. La dégradation thermique des solides de l'étape de désulfuration s'effectue dans un appareil qui comprend une zone de préchauffage, une chambre d'allumage et de chauffage et une zone de dégradation. La dégradation thermique s'effectue en présence de pellets chauffés qui sont eux-mêmes inertes à la réaction de dégradation. De préférence, les pellets sont chauffés dans la chambre d'allumage et de chauffage avant d'entrer en contact avec les solides provenant de l'étape de désulfuration.

Date Dec. 9, 1993A safety switch assembly for fitting to a safety enclosure. The switch includes a rotatable cam which operates electrical contacts. An actuator is insertable into the switch housing through either of two apertures to engage locking members. The locking members move in a rectilinear direction perpendicular to the cam axis away from the actuator and our of locking engagement with the cam. Ears on the actuator then engage in pockets in the cam and rotate the cam which causes movement of the electrical contacts to the ON position. Each locking member comprises a pair of locking components one of which is slidable on the other and both of which define elongate slots through which a cam shaft extends. The slots are inclined such that when the actuator pushes either one of the components away from a first aperture the other component is forced to move away from the other aperture.
