Abstract: A method for carrying out a reaction of one substance
capable of being activated by a catalyst with another substance
capable of reacting with said one substance activated,
characterized in that the substance capable of being activated
is activated by passing the substance through a diaphragm type
catalyst and the reaction is thus performed in one reaction
step; a method for producing an aromatic alcohol utilizing the
above method; and a reaction apparatus suitable for these
reactions. In the method, one substance is activated by passing
through a diaphragm type catalyst and an objective reaction is
carried out by using the activated substance, and the reaction
can be performed in one reaction step and with safety. Moreover,
the contact of the above activated substance with a compound
to be reacted therewith can be freely controlled, and therefore,
over-reaction can be prevented and an objective product can be
produced in high yield. The method is thus markedly
advantageous from an economical view point as a commercial
process for producing oxygen-containing organic compounds such
as an aromatic alcohol, a ketone, an aldehyde, a carboxylic acid
and an epoxide.

Abstract: In a color cathode ray tube in which a shadow mask 1 and an inner
magnetic shield 2 are supported by a mask frame 31 and an electron shield
33 is provided in the mask frame 31, at least a part of the electron shield 33
is made to have a smaller anhysteretic magnetic permeability than the
shadow mask 1, the mask frame 31 and the inner magnetic shield 2 when an
applied magnetic field is 800 A/m (10 Oe). Since the magnetic resistance of
the electron shield 33 increases, it is possible to reduce a leakage magnetic
field from a tube-axis-side edge of the electron shield 33. Thus, a color
cathode ray tube that reduces mis-landing due to a terrestrial magnetism
and has no color displacement can be provided.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une filière (10) pourvue d'une borne (100, 102) ainsi qu'un procédé de fabrication de cette filière. Cette filière comporte un corps de filière (11) qui peut comporter des plaques latérales (12, 14), des plaques d'extrémité (16, 18), une plaque de fond (20) et des bornes couplées au corps de la filière. Des pinces (200) sont fixées aux bornes afin d'alimenter la filière en courant électrique et de maintenir le verre à l'intérieur dans un état liquide. Chaque borne comporte une partie supérieure (110) et une partie inférieure (120). La partie supérieure est couplée à une plaque latérale de la filière. Une pince est fixée à la partie inférieure de la borne. Les parties supérieure et inférieure sont disposées de manière qu'elles forment un angle l'une par rapport à l'autre. Des parties de support (130, 132, 134, 136) sont ménagées le long des bords latéraux des parties supérieures des bornes. Ces parties de support renforcent la borne, augmentant ainsi leur résistance à la flexion et aux contraintes de fatigue. Ces parties de support n'ont pas de contact avec la filière et, par conséquent, ne conduisent pas directement le courant à la filière. Par conséquent, la température des parties de support pendant le fonctionnement de la filière est inférieur à la partie conductrice des bornes. Etant donné que les parties de support fonctionnent à une température plus basse, la dégradation thermique de la borne est réduite.

Abstract: An improved process for the production of tricalcium aluminate (TCA) filter aid for use in an alumina refinery is described. Quicklime is slaked in a slaker tin using a suitable slaking solution to form a slaked lime slurry (10). A suitable surface-active agent is added to the slaking solution prior to slaking of the lime. Alternatively, the surface-active agents can be added to the slaked lime either during slaking or after slaking. The slaked lime slurry is then transferred to a stirred storage/transfer tank (12) before it is pumped to a lime aging tank (14). A concentrated Bayer liquor and steam are added to the tank (14) to provide a caustic aluminate solution that reacts with the slaked lime. Sufficient residence time is allowed in the lime aging tank (14) for the initial product of the reaction to "age" before use, forming relatively pure particles of the thermodynamically stable TCA. The addition of a suitable surface-active agent or agents at the appropriate concentration will significantly improve TCA formation in the lime aging facility. These improvements include a narrower and more symmetric sized distribution, and a more crystalline structure, leading to substantially improved filtration characteristics.
