Title: Treatment of rubber to form bituminous compositions
Inventor: LIANG ZHI-ZHONG
IPC: C08L21/00
Filed: 1993-12-29
Abstract: Rubber, particularly crumb rubber from the recycling of tyres, is processed to effect partial or high levels of dissociation of rubber vulcanate network, in particular to form bituminous compositions in which the treated rubber, carbon black and other additives released are stably dispersed. Bitumen, hydrocarbon oil and liquid rubber are used to effect penetration, swelling and compatibilization of the rubber particles, following which thermal energy and mechanical energy are applied to initiate breakdown of the vulcanized structure of the rubber particles and the formation of at least partially dissociated rubber vulcanate network. Such treated rubber may be further reacted and combined for employment in the production of stabilized polymer modified bitumen composition.

Title: Contraction joint
Inventor: OHNIMUS GUENTHER
IPC: F16L21/00
Filed: 1995-06-28
Abstract: A contraction joint for connecting aligned sections of pipe.  The joint comprises inner and outer sleeves having opposite ends adapted to be secured to the pipe sections, a first guide member at a lower end of the inner sleeve, and a second guide member at an upper end of the outer sleeve.  The first and second guide members slidably and telescopically support the inner and outer sleeves for  coaxial movement  between  an expanded position and a contracted position.  The inner and outer sleeves are radially spaced apart to provide an annular chamber between the sleeves and the first and second guide members.  A sealing member is contained within the annular chamber for rolling contact with opposing surfaces of the inner and outer sleeves between the first and second guide members as the sleeves move between the expanded position and the contracted position.  Also, a seal locking member is provided associated with the sealing member.  The seal locking member is adapted to permit relative movement of the sealing member with respect to the sleeves during movement between the expanded position and the contracted position and to prevent movement of the sealing member when exposed to pressure differentials in the annular chamber.

Title: Implementation of dissolved solids profiling
Inventor: MARCOCCIA BRUNO S
IPC: D21C11/02
Filed: 1994-07-20
Abstract: Digester systems for producing paper pulp from comminuted cellulosic fibrous material take into account the level of dissolved organic materials (DOM), such as lignin, hemi-cellulose, and cellulose, maintaining the DOM level at about 100 g/l throughout the cook (particularly kraft cook). In order to make sure there is sufficient liquid to slurry the material in the feed system of a two vessel system, some liquid is withdrawn from the circulation conduits between the digester and impregnation vessel, cooled, and fed to the feed system. In a vapor phase digester, the level of liquid at the top of the digester is more precisely controlled by circulating some of the withdrawn liquid from a circulatory loop of the digester to the level tank associated with the feed system. An in-line drainer may be provided in the feed system between a make-up liquor pump and a liquid inlet conduit leading to the top of an impregnation vessel. Within the digester, a set of extraction/dilution screens is provided specifically positioned and spaced from each other, and with respect to a reintroduction conduit opening, so that mixing of different DOM concentration liquids is minimized.
