Abstract: 1,154,009. Removal of sulphur oxides from gases. SHELL INTERNATIONALE RESEARCH MAATSCHAPPIJ N.V. 10 Aug., 1967, No. 36809/67. Heading CIA. Sulphur oxides are removed from a gas mixture comprising sulphur oxides and oxygen by contacting said gas mixture at a temperature above 200‹ C. with a solid acceptor consisting of a solid carrier, an alkali metal compound and a vanadium compound. Preferred carriers are alumina (especially γ-alumina), silica, silicaalumina and silica-magnesia. The alkali metal compound is preferably potassium oxide, and the vanadium compound is preferably an oxide, in particular vanadium pentoxide. Typically the acceptor comprises 2À5 to 15% W. of alkali metal and 1-10% W. of vanadium based on the carrier material. A preferred range of the V/ alkali metal atomic ratio is 0À1 to 0À8. The temperature of contact between the gas mixture, which may be a hot waste gas, and the acceptor is typically 300‹ to 450‹ C. The carrier normally has a specific surface area of greater than 50 m<SP>2</SP>/g. The sulphur oxide-loaded acceptor may be regenerated with a reducing gas or gas mixture at a temperature similar to, or slightly higher than, that at which the acceptor was loaded. Possible regenerating gases are hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and low molecular weight hydrocarbons. The loaded acceptor may be continuously removed from the reactor and passed into a second reactor for regeneration, whereupon the treated acceptor is recycled to the first (loading) reactor.

Title: Apparatus for delivering a predetermined volume of a liquid
Inventor: ENGELBRECHT EDUARD
IPC: B01L3/02
Filed: 1969-07-23
Abstract: 1277102 Sample dosing device E ENGELBRECHT 23 July 1969 [24 July 1968] 36974/ 69 Heading B1X [Also in Divisions B8 and F1] The apparatus of Fig. 1 comprises a pipe 8 held wthin a first container 5 with an open end of the pipe at a determined level, the pipe being in communication with the interior of a second container 3 via a closure member 2 which is such as to seal the second container when the mouth of the latter is applied thereto, and means for reducing the pressure in the second container relative to that in the first instance. Actuation of the means which includes pipe 1 causes the volume of liquid above the open end of pipe 8 to be delivered to the second container. The pipe 8 may be supported by means permitting adjustment of the level of the open end within the first container (Figs. 1A, 1B not shown). In the apparatus of Fig. 2 suction applied via pipe 48 will cause liquid above the open end of pipe 44 in container 39 to be delivered to container 47, and displacement to the right of piston 34 against bias of spring 50. The container 47 is initially held against closure member 46. During the rightward displacement of the piston communication between the pipes 44, 45 is broken. At the end of the displacement a variable volume defined by piston portion 35 and the cylinder wall (Fig. 2A) is in communication with the container 39 via pipe 42, and the suction pipe 48 is in communication with the container 39 via pipes 45, and 51, so that suction will cause transfer of the liquid in the volume into the container 39. Upon breaking the suction, e.g. by removing the container 47 from the closure member the piston will return to its illustrated position. Application of the container 47 to the closure member will initiate another such cycle. In a modification of the Fig. 2 embodiment reservoir 31 is flexible and suction is not applied via pipe 48 which instead has a one way valve. In this modification port 41 is connected with a space above the liquid in the reservoir. Upon squeezing the reservoir the piston will be moved to the right. During this movement only liquid in the volume 35 will be delivered to the container 39. Upon release of the reservoir the piston will be biassed by spring 50 to its illustrated position and the suction induced in container 47 by the piston will effect delivery of liquid from the container 39 into the container 47 upon the pipes 44, 45 being in communication.

Abstract: A process for the production of trans quinitol comprises subjecting 1,4-epoxy-cyclohexane to treatment in aqueous medium with an oxygen - containing non - oxidising acid having a dissociation constant Ka at least 10-5.  The reaction preferably takes place using an aqueous solution or suspension of the acid, preferably sulphuric acid at 70-140 DEG C.  Organic acids, including acidic cation exchange resins may also be used.  In a modification of the process the epoxy cyclohexane is treated with an anhydrous carboxylic acid to form an ester of trans quinitol which is then hydrolysed to the diol. Examples describe the treatment of 1,4-epoxy cyclohexane with sulphuric acid, when some cyclohex-3-enol is formed, sulphonated polystyrene, anhydrous formic acid and glacial acetic acid.  In the last two cases the resulting esters are hydrolysed by treatment with aqueous methanol.  In the Provisional Specification an additional example describes the reaction of 1,4-epoxy-cyclohexane with succinic acid to give the succinate ester.  Specification 623,309 is referred to.

Abstract: 303,362. Parke, Davis, & Co., (Assignees of kamm, 0., Aldrich, T. B., and Grote, I. W.). Dec. 31, 1927, [Convention date]. Medicinal preparations.-A process for purifying and isolating the active principles of various glandular products, applicable particularly to extracts from the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland, consists in treating the gland, or, preferably, a partially purified extract therefrom, with a lower fatty acid, such as acetic, propionic or butyric acid, in high concentration, so as to dissolve the active principles but leave behind the greater part of the contaminating proteins, and then fractionally precipitating the solution by the addition of various organic solvents such as acetone, ether, propyl or butyl alcohol, petroleum ether and benzol. It is stated that a bloodpressure-raising (pressor) hormone and a uteruscontracting (oxytocic) hormone are separately obtained from pituitary extract. According to an example commercial acetone-desiccated gland is extracted with water acidified with acetic acid, and the liquid filtered, concentrated, and treated with ammonium sulphate to salt out the active substances, which are then dried and extracted with glacial acetic acid. The hormones are then precipitated from the solution, in admixture, by successive addition of ether and petroleum ether. The two hormones are then partially separated by dissolving the mixture in acetic acid and precipitating the pressor hormone by addition of either. The filtrate containing the oxytocic hormone is treated with water and petroleum ether to throw down the hormone, which collects as a gummy deposit on the bottom and sides of the container and may be dissolved in water and filtered. The precipitated pressor hormone is again dissolved in acetic acid and treated, by addition of acetone in two stages and ether in three stages, to throw down precipitates becoming progressively stronger in pressor action. The final filtrate is treated with petroleum ether to obtain oxytocic hormone. The various separated fractions may again be fractionated as before. Propionic acid containing 5 per cent of water, or butyric acid containing 10 per cent of water, may be used in place of acetic acid, or a mixture of a lower fatty acid with alcohol may be used. The names of alpha-Hypophamine and beta- Hypophamine are given to the two hormones obtained from pituitary glands. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 (3) (a) refers to the use of organic carboxylic acids in general, but contains no additional examples, and refers also to the use of acids containing 20 per cent or more of water. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specincation as accepted.
