Abstract: 962,679. Ultrasonic inspection devices. HOESCH A.G. March 27, 1962 [March 30, 1961], No. 11715/62. Heading H4D. In apparatus detecting flaws in a sheet metal strip 1, moving perpendicular to the paper, by ultrasonic pulse echo means, errors, due to the absorbtion of the pulses being changed other than by flaws, e.g. by variations in the thickness of the sheet on coupling medium 2, or by changes in the surface of the sheet, are overcome by feeding the output of the receiver 6, to two indicating means 7 and 8, the first of which 7, linearly amplifies the entire received pulse and displays it on a recorder (top trace), with flaws shown as large dips and the errors by variations in the top of the pulse, whilst the second indicating means 8, clips the echo pulse to remove the variations and displays the flaw dips with increased amplification (bottom trace). The erroneous variations of the received pulse may be used to control, by servo means, the power of the pulse emitter 5 so as to keep the scale of the recording of means 8 constant. Receiver 6 may be replaced by two separate receivers individually feeding the two indicating means.

Title: Recovery of titanium tetrachloride by adsorption
Inventor: KRCHMA IGNACE JOSEPH
IPC: C22B34/12
Filed: 1954-04-27
Abstract: Titanium tetrachloride is separated and recovered from gas mixtures containing 1-11 per cent by weight thereof by contacting said mixture with a solid adsorbent under anhydrous conditions and subjecting the adsorbent to heat treatment under anhydrous conditions to recover the adsorbed titanium tetrachloride and reactivate the adsorbent. Adsorption may take place, e.g. at 20 DEG C. in one or more towers packed with a suitable adsorbent such as carbon, charcoal, bone char, alumina, silica, titania, activated clays, or bauxite.  The adsorbent may be desorbed by direct heating, e.g. in a distilling vessel at below 600 DEG C., e.g. 350 DEG C., or by directly contacting it with a hot gas, non-reactive with the titanium tetrachloride at the desorption temperature, e.g. with titanium tetrachloride itself at 300-600 DEG C. preferably 500 DEG C. with a chlorinating gas, with nitrogen, or with a stream of dry oxygen or air at a temperature, e.g. 200 DEG C. below the oxidation temperature of titanium tetrachloride, and also of carbon, if the latter is the adsorbent used; the resultant mixture can then be used for vapour phase oxidation.  Alternatively, the description may comprise a first heating, e.g. with superheated titanium tetrachloride to remove a portion of the product followed by treatment with a hot, non-reactive gas, e.g. chlorinating or oxidizing gas.  The bed of adsorbent may be cooled by water jackets or cooling coils if desired, and a pressure up to 200 lbs./sq. in. may be applied during adsorbtion; during desorption a reduced pressure may be applied.  In order to preserve the adsorbent it is generally preferred to desorb only 30-90 per cent of the adsorbed tetrachloride.  Examples are given.  The process may most usefully be applied (1) to the removal of titanium tetrachloride from the gases produced when a titanium bearing material is treated with 30-100 per cent Cl2 at 600-1100 DEG C. in the presence of carbonaceous material, by condensing the main product at -10 to +30 DEG C. by conventional means, adsorbing the tail gas, desorbing it by heating at 100-400 DEG C., and recycling to the chlorination or condensation stages (chlorination with chlorine at 800-1350 DEG C. is also mentioned), (2) to recovery of titanium tetrachloride from the tail gases resulting from vapour phase oxidation or hydrolysis of titanium tetrachloride, (3) in a process for producing titanium tetrachloride by chlorinating titaniferous materials wherein the chlorinating gas is used before employment as the desorbing gas, e.g. at 300 DEG C., thus recycling the desorbed product.
Patent GB-353070-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to fibrous compositions
IPC: C08L97/02
Filed: 1930-04-17
Abstract: Long fibres are coated with a potentially reactive resinoid applied in solution, the fibres being stiff enough not to become knotted or tangled in the process.  The fibres may be naturally stiff, e.g. of sisal (an inch or more long) or of manilla, hemp, jute; or they may be softer fibres, e.g. cotton, asbestos, which have been given the requisite stiffness by spinning or twisting into threads or cords; or the cotton cords obtained in the reclaiming of tyres.  The resinoid, in strong or thin solution, is poured on to the fibres in a mixing machine, and the mixture is dried by heating, preferably under reduced pressure, either in the mixing machine or in pans.  Part of the resinoid may be incorporated with the fibres as above, and the rest, after partial drying of the fibres, in powder form in a ball mill.  Other fillers and plasticizers may be included.  The product, which may contain equal parts of fibre and of resinoid, may be compressed for transport and subsequently broken up for moulding.  It is stated to be suitable for moulding large articles such as parts of furniture, the moulded articles being highly shock-resistant.  The composition, preheated to 100 DEG  C., is charged into a mould of polished steel, compressed for 15-25 minutes at 1000-3000 lbs. per sq. in. and 150-175 DEG  C., partly cooled, and discharged.  The surface may be improved by dusting the mould with powdered resinoid.
