Patent EP-0030772-B1 (EP)
IPC: B63B21/56
Filed: 1980-12-11
Granted: 1984-10-03
Abstract: The invention relates to a combination of a pusher tug and one or more barge units, whereby each barge unit may comprise one or more barges coupled alongside each other. Between the barge units and/or between the rear-unit and the pusher tug, pivotable pushing connections are installed giving the combination an articulated character. Each of the pivotable pushing connections is only mounted to one of the units or to the pusher tug and is coupled to the opposite unit with usual connections, such as steel wires. The pivotable pushing connections are robust and easy to handle by the normal deck crew. Application of the pivotable and steerable pushing connections increases the safety of pushing traffic on waterways and allows more units per combination.

Abstract: Highly pure (>99.99%) aqueous solutions of gallium chloride are obtained by a process having two major stages. The first stage, effected by passage of an aqueous acid solution containing gallium over a strongly basic ion exchange resin, makes it possible to eliminate an appreciable quantity of metal ions, such as Ca, Mg, Cr, V, Co, Zn and Pb, and further serves to concentrate the initial solution. In the second stage, the remaining ions, such as Al, Na and particularly Fe+++ are eliminated by a two-phase extraction with an organic extractant, preferably a C4 to C10 alcohol or a quaternary ammonium chloride.

Granted: 1986-10-15
Abstract: An improved powdered bacterial growth medium compositon adapted to be admixed with water is described. The powdered growth medium includes an alkali metal cation in a compound A admixed with a compound B containing an anion which reacts wth the alkali metal cation in compound A in an aqueous growth medium to form an essentially water insoluble salt or base, including the alkali metal cation and the anion, which is acid neutralizing. The water insoluble salt is thus formed in situ in the aqueous growth medium when compounds A and B are added to the aqueous solution. Also described is an improved method for growing acid producing bacteria in an aqueous growth medium by forming the insoluble salt or base. The resulting growth medium is particularly adapted for neutralizing acids generated during growth of lactic acid producing bacteria which are grown for use in various food fermentations.

Abstract: The voltage stabilization of additional outputs of converters is provided with high precision by means of an adjusting circuit wherein a current traverses a storage capacity (26) and the primary winding (32) of a transformer (72). The secondary winding (33) of said transformer (72) is coupled by one of its ends and through a diode (34) to the primary winding and through another diode (35) and a switching element (36) with its other end. The switching element (36) is controlled by a comparator (38) which compares the voltage at the terminals (40, 41) to a reference voltage. When the output voltage is below a predetermined value, the element (36) is shunted and the voltage value on the capacity (26) is maximum. If the voltage value is equal or higher, the switching element (36) becomes non-conductor and the current induced in the secondary winding (33) reduces the current which flows from the winding (8) of the transformer to the capacity (26) in an amount inversely proportional to the relation between the primary winding (32) and the secondary winding (33).

Title: Sustained release lithium-containing tablets and method for their manufacture
IPC: A61K9/20
Filed: 1983-04-19
Granted: 1985-09-25
Abstract: The release pattern of sustained release lithium carbonate tablets is improved by using a particular form of lithium carbonate material. This should have acicular crystals with a substantially monomodal particle size distribution in which the curve showing volume percentages of particles of different sizes shows a peak at a particle diameter of between 10 and 25  mu m. Moreover not more than 20% by volume of the material should have a particular diameter above 30  mu m. A preferred sustained release agent is a mixture of glyceryl mono-di- and tri-esters of straight chain saturated fatty acids. The tablets may be made by a moist granulation technique, followed by screening to ensure a granulate of appropriate grain sizes, after which the granulate is compacted into tablets.

Granted: 1989-02-15
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for recovering non-ferrous metal values from iron bearing materials of the type iron sulphides or decomposition and roasting products thereof, by subjecting the material to a sulphating roasting process and leaching the sulphated material. The sulphated material is leached with a chloride-containing aqueous solution while supplying an oxidation agent in an amount so chosen that any arsenic present is bound as iron arsenate, that any alkali metals present are bound as jarosites and so that a redox potential suitable for binding a readily dissolved metal chloride complex is obtained. The leached material is separated from the solution and washed with water, whereafter the material is removed from the process in the form of an iron oxide product. The separated solution is freed from valuable metals by cementation, whereafter the cementated metal content is separated and recovered. Sulphate ions in the solution are precipitated as gypsum, which is separated from the solution and any residual valuable metal ions thereon are precipitated out in a suitable manner and separated from the solution. At least a part of the solution is recycled as leaching liquid for the sulphated material, subsequent to the sulphating process.
