Abstract: Porous ceramic particles can be fragmented by generating a gas inside the pores at a sufficient pressure to cause the particles to be fragmented. The preferred way of generating the pressure is by immersing the particles in a liquid that at ambient temperatures and pressures is a gas until the liquid is absorbed into the pores and thereafter rapidly changing the conditions such that the liquid becomes a gas resulting in explosive fragmentation of the ceramic particles.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for producing a shaft from a piece of tubing having at least one bulging portion. The method enables shafts with bulging portions to be cheaply and practicably produced. The piece of tubing bears radially against a portion adjoining the zone of the bulging portion to be produced. The piece of tubing is subjected to internal pressure which is maintained throughout the entire molding operation. The piece of tubing is acted upon by an axially operative compressive force co-operating with the internal pressure so that a portion of tubing adjoining the radially borne portion is upset so that the external diameter of the upset piece of tubing is larger than the external diameter on the unupset piece of tubing. A molding tool, having a hollow portion corresponding to the final shape of the bulging portion to be produced, is then applied to the upset piece of tubing. The bulging portion is formed by the application of radially operative compressive forces by means of the molding tool.

Abstract: A vertical tubular reactor for converting ammonia synthesis loop purge gas to ammonia; a method for converting ammonia synthesis loop purge gas to form additional ammonia; and a method for retrofitting a conventional ammonia plant having a synthesis loop using an iron-based synthesis catalyst and having a purge gas stream, the method including a supplemental ammonia converter for the purge gas stream. The supplemental ammonia converter is a shell and tube reactor. The tubes are filled with a catalyst comprising a platinum group metal such as ruthenium. The tubes are maintained in a substantially isothermal condition by boiling water in the shell side. As a retrofit modification to an existing ammonia synthesis plant, the purge stream is passed through the supplemental ammonia converter on a once-through basis to form additional ammonia and reduce the amount of purge gas. Advantages of the retrofit modification include lower energy consumption, lower purge rates and higher ammonia production rates. <IMAGE>
