Title: Production of substantially linear-polyurea-derivatives
IPC: C08L75/02
Filed: 1952-10-29
Abstract: The process of making linear polyurea derivatives by reacting one or more specified diamines with carboxysulphide according to the parent Specification is modified by effecting the heating in two stages, the thiocarbamate salt being heated in a first stage to a temperature of not more than 150 DEG  C. to give a sulphur-free low molecular weight intermediate, and the intermediate being heated in a second stage to above 150 DEG  C.  The heating in the second stage may be effected in the presence or absence of a solvent which is inert to the intermediate and final products. The two heating stages, which may follow one another without interruption, are preferably effected in vacuo or in a pressure vessel.  In a further modification diamines of the formula NH2.R.NH2, wherein R is an aliphatic group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, are used.  Diamines specified are hexa-, octa-, nona- and deca-methylene diamines and a 1 : 1 molar mixture of hexa- and decamethylene diamines.  Specification 524,795 also is referred to.

Title: Method of producing calcined diatomaceous earth
Inventor: RIEDE RAYMOND GEORGE
IPC: B01J20/14
Filed: 1961-07-28
Abstract: In calcining diatomaceous earth a moving mass of earth particles is treated with a fine spray of liquid, sufficient liquid being added over a sufficient length of time to produce discrete agglomerates, and the agglomerated earth is calcined.  Liquids may be water, aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbons, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, organic or carboxylic acids, amines, oils, petroleum solvents, or glycerine.  10-100% of liquid may be sprayed on the earth, agitated in a ribbon, paddle, tumble or rotary mixer, or conical or V-blender. The agglomerates may be dried before calcination a- 1700-2200 DEG  F. Before or after the liquid treatment, a particulate alkali or alkaline earth metal compound, e.g. soda ash, sodium chloride, sodium silicate, or lime, may be added as a flux in an amount, e.g. up to 20%, sufficient to effect sintering of the earth particles during calcination. Alternatively, the flux may be supplied in solution in the liquid. Before treatment with the liquid the earth may be crushed, dried and air classified, and the calcined product may be used as a filter aid.  A number of suitable liquids are specified.
