Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a process for manufacturing vegetable lysolecithins which comrpsies allowing a hydrolysis enzyme consisting of phospholipase A1 or A2 to act on a hydrated lecithin used as a starting material, then adding for stirring to the resultant lysolecithin solution acetone in a proportion on a volume basis of either 1 to 4, or 5 or more, against the water contained in said resultant lysolecithin solution to thereby either float or precipitate the lysolecithin phase, then separating out said lysolecithin phase, followed by repetition of the acetone extraction procedure to separate for removal free fatty acids by-produced in the said lysolecithin production reaction as well as oil-soluble impurities originated from the starting material. The process of the present invention can produce high-quality vegetable lysolecithins with reduced discoloration and improved flavor in increased yields.

Abstract: A method is provided for improving the microstructure of nickel and iron-based precipitation strengthened superalloys used in high temperature applications by increasing the frequency of "special", low- SIGMA  CSL grain boundaries to levels in excess of 50%. Processing entails applying specific thermomechanical processing sequences to precipitation hardenable alloys comprising a series of cold deformation and recrystallization-annealing steps performed within specific limits of deformation, temperature, and annealing time. Materials produced by this process exhibit significantly improved resistance to high temperature degradation (eg. creep, hot corrosion, etc.), enhanced weldability, and high cycle fatigue resistance.

Abstract: A computer implemented method for on-line determination of concentrations in an HF alkylation process catalyst stream containing HF acid, ASO, water and optionally an additive which suppresses the vapor pressure of HF acid. The method employs near-infrared spectroscopy coupled with chemometric data analysis. The data analysis uses a partial least squares regression technique which determines unknown concentrations based on spectral calibration data. In use, an absorbance spectrum of material is obtained, e.g., from a slipstream taken from the process alkylation catalyst stream, and the detected spectrum is mathematically analyzed with the aid of the computer to simultaneously predict concentration of HF acid, ASO, water and optionally the additive which suppresses the vapor pressure of HF acid.
