Filed: 1968-01-17
Abstract: 1,156,444. Epoxy resin esters. SHELL INTERNATIONALE RESEARCH MAATSCHAPPIJ N.V. 17 Jan., 1968, No. 2509/68. Heading C3B. [Also in Division C7] Water thinnable condensation products are obtained by: (1) reacting a hydroxyl group containing polyglycidyl ether of bisphenol A having an OH equivalency (i.e. the number of actual and potential OH groups per molecule) between 5 and 10 with (a) an aromatic monocarboxylic acid, e.g. benzoic acid, and then (b) with an ethylenically unsaturated fatty acid, e.g. a drying oil acid. The number of COOH groups in (a) and (b) is substantially equal to the OH groups of the polyglycidyl ether and the ratio of (a) to (b) lies in the range 10: 90 to 60: 40; this step is carried out at elevated temperature with separation of the water formed. (2) The resultant polyester is then reacted with at least 4% by wt. of an ethylenically unsaturated polycarboxylic acid or anhydride, e.g. maleic, and (3) at least 50% of the COOH groups of step (2) are neutralized, e.g. with a caustic alkali or an amine. The reactions may be carried out in the presence of an esterification catalyst, e.g. stannous octoate. A lyotropic solvent, e.g. ethylene glycol monobutyl ether may be added after stage (2). The products are useful in the manufacture of water thinnable paints and varnishes, which may be used in electrophosetic deposition.

Abstract: 284,703. Barrett Co., (Assignees of Miller, S. P.). Feb. 5, 1927, [Convention date]. Ascension pipes ; condensing, scrubbing, and washing processes.-Coke oven gases are used for the distillation of tar by conveying the gases from a number of ovens to a collector main while the gases are still at a temperature high enough to distil the tar, continuously spraying the gases with tar, and removing, cooling and condensing the vapours obtained. The tar and pitch remaining at the bottom of the main are removed by atomizing or spraying them into the gases passing through the main. A battery of ovens 5 is connected to a main 7 by goose-neck up-take pipes 6 and the gases are delivered through a centre box 8 to a cross-over main 9. Tar is introduced into the collector main by nozzles 15, 16, and the liquor ir. the main is agitated by paddles 11 on a rotating shaft 10. The gases passing through the main 9 are sprayed with ammonia through nozzles 21 and are then delivered to the condensers. The centre box 8 is formed to hold a. larger quantity of tar than usual to prevent accumulation of hard pitch. The tar in the mains may alternatively be agitated by rotating shafts 35, Fig. 4, carrying cones 37, by rotating discs, or by a series of injectors.

Title: Process for the production of hydroperoxides of partly-hydrogenated polynuclear, aromatic hydrocarbons
IPC: C07C409/14
Filed: 1955-02-01
Abstract: Hydroperoxides of partly - hydrogenated, polynuclear, aromatic hydrocarbons are prepared by oxidation of the hydrocarbons in the liquid phase with oxygen or oxygen-containing gases at raised temperatures and normal or increased pressures under exposure to light and in the presence of an organic colouring matter which absorbs light in the red to yellow spectral range, and separating the resulting hydroperoxide in known manner from the reaction mixture. Hydrocarbons which may be oxidized are tetrahydronaphthalene, octahydronaphthalene, ar-alkyl-tetrahydronaphthalenes, tetrahydroanthracene, octahydroanthracene, tetrahydrophenanthrene, octahydrophenanthrene, and tetrahydroacenaphthene.  Organic colouring matters specified are chlorophyll, metal complexes of phthalocyanines, fluorescein, dinaphthylene dioxide (2:81; 8:21 - dioxidodinaph-thyl - 1:11), 2 - phenyl - benzimidazole and 9-phenyl - 3:7 - dimethylacridine.  Both sunlight and artificial light may be used.  The oxidation may be conducted by passing the oxidizing gas in a finely divided state through the hydrocarbon at reaction temperature, by trickling the hydrocarbon over Raschig or porcelain rings or pumice in countercurrent to the heated oxidizing gas, or the hydrocarbon may be sprayed or atomized and contacted with the oxidizing gas.  The hydroperoxide is isolated by precipitation of its salt with caustic soda solution, liberation of the free hydroperoxide by treatment with acetic acid and recrystallization from ether, or by distilling off the unreacted tetrahydronaphthalene in vacuo and recrystallization.  In an example, the oxidation of tetrahydronaphthalene in the presence of chlorophyll and light is compared with a similar but uncatalysed reaction, and a similar oxidation catalysed by manganese stearate.

Abstract: 229,649. Gilchrist, W. A. Feb. 19, 1924, [Convention date]. Evaporating plant and processes; saccharine solutions, concentrating.-Relates to steam-supply and power arrangements in connection with plants for making sugar, glucose, salt, soda, soap alcohol, condensed milk, dyestuffs, &c. and other industries in which evaporation steps occur. Steam generated under high pressure is used to operate prime movers from which steam is exhausted under a higher pressure than usual. The exhaust is used to evaporate a liquid and generate vapours under a lower pressure which are used as heating-agent to effect a further evaporation. As appliad for evaporating sugar juices, steam from a boiler 10 heated preferably by a furnace which burns bagasse, is supplied to prime movers such aa as a reciprocating engine 12 and a steam turbine 13. The exhaust passes through pipes 14 to a vessel 15, in which it may be dried by admixture with steam direct from the boiler 10, and through a humidifier 17, in which its temperature may be reduced, to a preliminary evaporator 19 in which juices, after clarification and passage through a preheater 21, are boiled. The steam generated is used as heating-agent in a multiple-effect evaporating-apparatus 33-36 and in the pans 43-46. Steam passing direct from the prime movers through pipes 47, 48 may also be used for this purpose. The condensed steam from the heater of the evaporator 19 is in part passed back to the boiler by a pump 24 and in part circulated through the humidifier 17 by a pump 27. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 (3) (a) states also that the, invention is applicable for power arrangements in which mercury &c. vapours are used. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
