Abstract: Method and arrangement for treatment of a gas-flow in connection with a NOx reducing catalyst (18) that include guiding the gas-flow through an exhaust gas treatment unit (18) having several ducts (21) with exchange of heat between the ducts (21). The ducts (21) are connected to an inlet and an outlet, respectively, at the exhaust gas treatment unit (18) so that the gas-flow occurs during exchange of heat between incoming and outgoing flows. Reduction of NOx compounds in the gas-flow is accomplished by means of the NOx reducing catalyst (18). An adaptation of the temperature of the exhaust gas treatment unit (18) is affected to the prevailing operating condition of the NOx reducing catalyst (18). The method and apparatus enable provision of the required exhaust gas temperature for NOx reduction, while also accommodating the temperature limitations imposed by sulphur absorption and regeneration subsystems.

Abstract: A liquid pressure transfer print method for a steering wheel rim of an
automobile is achieved by lowering the steering wheel rim within a
predetermined time up to a boundary line of a primary transfer print portion
without attaching an additional mask member to the other side surface of the
steering wheel rim opposite to the primary transfer print portion after
floating the transfer print film on liquid (a first transfer print step), half
drying the polyvinyl alcohol layer coated on the primary transfer print
portion of the steering wheel rim in the first transfer print step, for a
predetermined time and at a predetermined rate (a half drying step), when
the polyvinyl alcohol layer at the outer side of a first transfer print surface
in the half drying step is dried in a gal state, flipping the steering wheel rim
and lowering the other side surface to be transfer printed over the boundary
line within a predetermined time (a second transfer print step), and soaking
the steering wheel rim having the entire surface thereof completely transfer
printed in solution for a predetermined time and cleaning the outside
polyvinyl alcohol layers of the first and second transfer print surfaces by
injecting the solution to the surface of the steering wheel rim for a
predetermined time (an entire surface cleaning step). Thus, a plurality of
subsequent steps can be omitted, thus remarkably improving productivity,
one time cleaning step minimizes the amount of waste water generated so

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for preparing an asphalt and
thermoplastic elastomer composition. The process comprises heating an asphalt cut in a
stirred tank to a temperature sufficient to allow the stirring of the asphalt in the tank. A
thermoplastic elastomer or rubber is added to the asphalt while continuing to stir the
asphalt. The mixture is stirred at a speed and for a period of time sufficient to increase
the distribution of the elastomer into the asphalt. The stirring speed is reduced and the
temperature is increased to add crosslinking agents to the tank. Stirring is continued for a
period of time sufficient to improve the distribution of the crosslinking agent dispersion
in the asphalt. Crosslinking agents include compositions of mercaptobenzothiazole, zinc
oxide and elemental sulfur; compositions of mercaptobenzothiazole, zinc oxide, and
mixed polythiomorpholine; and compositions of zinc 2-mercaptobenzothiazole and
dithiodimorpholine.
