Abstract: For the separation of at least one substance from a liquid or gaseous medium, the substance having a density differing from the medium, the flowing mixture of substance and medium is set in rotation about an axis parallel to its direction of flow, the substance is separated by centrifugal forces from the medium and separately removed from the purified medium. The speed of rotation of the mixture of substance and medium is increased by a progressive reduction of the radius of rotation. The medium is discharged from the apparatus through coaxially facing immersed tubes. An apparatus (110) for carrying out the process includes a guiding device (112) for producing the rotation of the fed mixture in a separation chamber (113). The purified medium is removed from the separation chamber (113) via mutually facing immersed tubes (114, 115), having a cross-section smaller than that of the separation chamber (113). The separated substance is discharged by a secondary cyclone (118) and a pipe (120). <IMAGE>

Abstract: Esterification is carried out in a column reactor (14) in which there is a plurality of esterification trays (15) each having predetermined liquid hold-up and containing a charge of a solid esterification catalyst thereon. e.g. an ion exchange resin containing a -SO3H and/or -COOH groups. A liquid phase containing the carboxylic acid component, e.g. a fatty acid mixture, flows down the column reactor from one esterification tray to the next downward one against an upflowing alcohol vapour stream, e.g. methanol vapour. Relatively dry alcohol vapour is injected (21) into the bottom of the column reactor. Water of esterification is removed from the top of the column reactor in the vapour stream (26), whilst ester product is recovered (23) from the sump of the reactor. As the liquid flows down the trays it encounters progressively drier alocohol and the esterification equilibrium reaction is driven further and further towards 100% ester formation. A polishing reactor (304) operated under liquid phase conditions may follow the column reactor, the ester-containing product from which is mixed with further alcohol before admission to the polishing reactor.

Abstract: Packaging is disclosed which comprises a plastics material base (1), goods (5) such as red meats within the packaging, a clear plastics material lid (3) over the base (1) sealing the packaging. A gas is provided within the packaging for enhancing the keeping properties of the goods (5). Typically the gas is 80 % O2 and 20 % CO2 for red meats and the volume of the gas approximately equals the volume of the meat so that the meat will have a packaged shelf life of at least several days without discolouring.

Abstract: Cutting tools, abrasion-resistant tools and the like are generally made from a superhard alloy of tungsten carbide (WC) or the like, various cermets of titanium carbide (TiC) or the like, a high-speed tool steel, etc. Further, surface-coated hard members are widely put into practical use, wherein a single layer or a plurality of layers of a carbide, a nitride or a carbonitride of titanium, hafnium or zirconium, an oxide of aluminum or the like are formed on the surface of such materials to improve the abrasion resistance according to the physical vapor deposition technique (PVD technique) or the chemical vapor deposition technique (CVD technique). However, such conventional surface-coated hard members do not have satisfactory abrasion resistance. In the present invention, an improvement in the conventional tools has been effected by disposing on the surface of a base material a hard coating comprising a single layer of one member, or a plurality of layers of at least two members selected from among a carbide, a nitride and a carbonitride of hafnium and aluminum.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for minimizing the environmental release of acids and toxic organic compounds from a waste incinerator-air pollution control train. The apparatus comprises an incinerator (1), a gas cooling means such as a waste heat boiler (7) or quench chamber, a means for the partial removal of acid gases and dioxins by contact with either finely-divided alkaline solids or alternatively, by an alkaline solution in a spray drier-absorber, a dry solids collection means such as a fabric filter or electrostatic precipitator, a wet scrubber means (22) for residual metal, dioxin/acid gas removal and an induced draft fan. In the method of this invention, the final wet scrubber stage operates without alkaline neutralization, but under scrubber acid concentrations and operating conditions that provide an exhaust gas within compliance limits of emission regulations. The contaminated liquor blowdown from the wet scrubber, which contains toxic organics and acids, is recycled back into the incinerator. The aqueous acid liquor blown down to the incineration is vaporized therein, most of the toxic organic content of the liquid is destroyed by the re-incineration, and the regenerated acid gases are largely removed by the first dry scrubbing stage. <IMAGE>

La cellulose utilisée dans la préparation de l'ester se compose de préférence d'un acétate de cellulose désacétylé préparé lorsqu'on fait réagir de l'acetate dissous dans l'alcool correspondante, par exemple du méthoxyde de sodium dans du méthanol. La composition de recouvrement est utile à la formation de couches insolubles dans l'eau, conductibles et à adhérence élevée sur des éléments ou des supports composites, particulièrement dans des éléments photographiques comprenant des supports hydrophobes. Les couches conductibles peuvent être utilisées, notamment, comme couches de base conductibles ou couches pelloïdes conductibles. Les sels d'esters de cellulose dérivés de cellulose préparée comme décrit ci-dessus présentent une plus faible viscosité en solution, et, par conséquent, un pouvoir de recouvrement amélioré. Ils sont aussi plus conductibles que des sels similaires préparés à partir de cellulose fabriquée lorsqu'on désacétyle de l'acétate de cellulose avec de l'ammoniaque aqueux.
