Patent GB-2005526-A (GB)
Title: Dehulling of rapeseed or mustard defatted meals
IPC: A23K10/30
Filed: 1978-09-18
Abstract: Rapeseed and mustard seed (Brassica species) are treated to remove at least the major part of the oil. A slurry of the meal solids in finely divided form, in a non-aqueous solvent which does not dissolve protein, is subjected to a gravity or centrifugal liquid separation to separate flour slurry as overflow and hull slurry as underflow. This separation is carried out under substantially anhydrous conditions. The flour and hulls are recovered separately and the solvent recycled (further oil can be recovered from this solvent). The flour contains about 50% protein and can be further treated, e.g., for thioglucoside removal.

Title: Mantle assembly for transmitter insulator
IPC: H01B17/26
Filed: 1979-03-19
Abstract: The assembly, which is to protect the exposed part of a lead-in insulator of a ship's radio transmitter or any other insulator, comprises two parts (11,12) formed of electrically insulating material and means (2,7 and 9,10 and 15) for attaching the two parts to the insulator (1) with one part lying axially displaced from the other; the two parts being domed shaped and dimensioned so that together they enclose at least a portion of the axial length of the exposed part of the insulator with one part (11) extending into the other (12) so as to leave an annular gap between them.

Title: Agglomeration Process for Polymerisation Catalyst Components
IPC: C08F10/00
Filed: 1980-03-24
Abstract: A suspension of a component of an olefin polymerisation catalyst in an inert liquid medium is evaporated to remove essentially all of the liquid medium and the solid mass obtained is then subjected, in the dry state, to a crushing process for a limited period of time. This process can be applied to finely-divided titanium trichloride based catalyst systems in order to improve their particle form for use in the gas-phase polymerisation process. The procedure is particularly useful when using transition metal compounds which have been ground with Lewis Base compounds and subsequently subjected to an extraction process with a liquid medium. The transition metal compound may be one which has been ground with a sulphur- containing organic compound in the presence of added aluminum chloride and titanium tetrachloride, and subsequently washed several times with a hot solvent. Catalyst components which have been treated by the described process can be used together with an organic compound of a non-transition metal to give an olefin polymerisation catalyst system. The catalyst can be used to effect polymerisation of olefin monomers and is particularly suitable for use in the gas-phase polymerisation process.
