Abstract: Process for regenerating a spent HNO3/HF pickling solution containing metal fluorides and nitrates involves heating the solution at 300-1000 degrees C in a fluidised bed reactor to effect pyrohydrolysis of the fluorides and nitrates, withdrawing the resulting metal oxides as granules and passing the off-gas to an acid recovery unit after dedusting and cooling. The novelty is that the spent solution is initially separated into a free acid-enriched subsidiary stream, for supply to the acid recovery unit, and a metal salt-enriched subsidiary stream for supply to the fluidised bed reactor.

Abstract: Elastic means for rolling up a roller curtain include a plurality of springs (26, 27, 28) fastened rigidly to a common support (15) connected to a shaft (2) and with respective support and constraint elements (36, 37, 38) which are geometrically coupled to the roller (19). A device for connecting the springs to a stationary frame (35) of the curtain (20) reduces the number of springs torsional turns with respect to the number of turns of the roller (19) by interposition of a speed reducer between the shaft (2), to which the springs are fastened, the stationary frame (35) and the roller (19). The shaft (2) end is located closer to the most external support and constraint element (36) and its extremity has a disc (11) mounted thereto. The coupling device together with the springs (50), their supports (15, 36, 37, 38), the shaft (2) and an external support cylindrical body (6) form a compact assembly, which is introduced into one head of the roller (19). The other head of the roller (19) features a cap (12), rotatably fastened to a cylindrical section of a support (13) which is locked to the stationary frame (35) by a tang (14). The geometrical coupling between the shaft (2) and the spring supports (15, 36, 37, 38) allows for easy and quick relocation of the roll up device on each side of the window to which the roller curtain is to be mounted.

squeegee in the horizontal direction in order to apply the
paste to a circuit board for printing, accurate printing with
excellent printed shapes is provided by allowing the squeegee
to flexibly fit the circuit regardless of its slope, swell, or
warp to achieve balanced printing at a low specified pressure.

air cylinder (27) that can be rotated at the longitudinal
center of the squeegees (26a and 26b) and that cancels their
weight, and are then pressed downward by air cylinders (35 and
36) located symmetrically about the center in order to press
the top surface of a screen (23).

La composition du détecteur est sélectionnée de telle manière qu'une de ses caractéristiques électriques, par exemple la capacité de résistance, change avec la concentration d'un désinfectant à action stérilisante dans l'enceinte en temps réel. Un méecanisme de réception (126) contrôle l'élément de détection semi-conducteur et met garde une valeur de départ de la caractéristique électrique correspondant à une concentration de départ du désinfectant à action stérilisante dans une première série de valeurs de paramètres du milieu, comme par exemple, la température, la pression, le rapport d'humidité, la vitesse de débit d'air, une concentration de matière comburante, et des combinaisons de ces paramères. Le mécanisme de réception compare les modifications dans la caractéristique électrique en temps réel de l'élément de détection semi-conducteur avec la valeur caractéristique de base pour fournir une indication en temps réel de la concentration de désinfectant à action stérilisante. Un appareil (12) de réglage de stérilisation régule une concentration de désinfectant à action stérilisante dans l'enceinte de stérilisation, et d'autres paramères du système de stérilisation conformément à la concentration de désinfectant à action stérilisante en temps réel provenant du mécanisme de réception.

Abstract: A method for the catalytic manufacture of MIBK and DIBK from DMK and/or IPA (optionally in the presence of water) while obtaining improved control over the ratio of DIBK to MIBK in the product stream, comprising reacting, in the presence of an aldol condensation catalyst, a reactant mixture comprising DMK and/or IPA and an effective amount of an additional reactant selected from the group consisting of mesityl oxide (MSO) and methyl isobutyl carbinol (MIBC) and mixtures thereof. Reaction temperature may also be changed to affect the product ratio obtained. The preferred catalyst is copper-based. An overall excess of hydrogen is desired, and this may be achieved by introducing or recycling hydrogen, and/or by balancing exothermic and endothermic reactions. By this invention, the product ratio of DIBK to MIBK is altered such that, as DMK and/or IPA conversion is increased, a lesser amount of DIBK than normal is produced, resulting in improved ability to control the product ratio of these materials.
