Title: Catalyst for decomposing n2o, its use, and process for its production
Inventor: SCHWEFER MEINHARD
IPC: C01B21/00
Filed: 2001-02-07
Abstract: A process is described for the decomposition of N2O  during nitric acid production by bringing the N2O-containg waste gas leaving the absorption column into contact with a catalyst which comprises at least one oxidic cobalt compound and at least one oxidic magnesium compound, under conditions which permit conversion of N2O to gaseous nitrogen and oxygen. The content of oxidic cobalt compounds is in the range from 0.1 to 50% by weight and the content of oxidic magnesium compounds is in the range from 50 to 99.9% by weight, based in each case on the total weight of the catalyst, and at least 30% of the Co atoms present in the catalyst are present in the trivalent state.     The preparation of the catalyst involves dry mixing of the oxidic cobalt compounds and the oxidic magnesium compounds or of appropriate precursors which are converted into the oxidic compounds by heat treatment, and compacting the mix, with exclusion of water, so that the resultant catalyst has the desired envelope density.

Title: Thrombin and anhydrothrombin with modified carboxyl groups
Inventor: HOSOKAWA KAZUYA
IPC: A61K38/48
Filed: 2002-03-19
Abstract: Thrombin derivatives having a lowered fibrinogen activity and anhydrothrombin derivatives having a lowered fibrinogen activity are provided. Namely, thrombin derivatives wherein carboxyl of thrombin is modified; and anhydrothrombin derivatives wherein carboxyl of anhydrothrombin is modified.  Because of having a lowered affinity for fibrinogen, these thrombin derivatives are usable as platelet agglutination-inducing compositions and specific coagulation reaction reagents for clinical tests, etc. By affinity chromatography with the use of anhydrothrombin as a ligand bonded to carboxyl, blood coagulation factor VIII can be more selectively purified. The anhydrothrombin derivatives having modified carboxyl exert a sufficient antithrombotic effect in a smaller amount than conventional anhydrothrombin does, which makes them usable as thrombosis inhibitors.
