A SMOKE AND SOOT SUPPRESSANT ADDITIVE FOR LIQUID FUEL COMPRISES AN ETHER AND A GROUP II-A METAL CARBONATE. AN ESPECIALLY SUITABLE ADDITIVE IS BARIUM CARBONATE AND AN ALKYL ETHER OF ETHYLENE GLYCOL, SUCH AS THE DIMETHYL ETHER OF ETHYLENE GLYCOL. GENERALLY THE CARBONATE IS EMPLOYED IN AMOUNTS FROM ABOUT 0.1 TO 1% BY WEIGHT AND THE ETHER IS EMPLOYED IN AMOUNTS FROM 0.1 TO 1% BY WEIGHT.

Chemically stable liquid reactants capable of forming an explosive reaction mixture are injected into a fluid or mineral bearing formation, which may first be hydraulically fractured. An inert spacing medium is injected intermediate to the injection of the reactants so that the explosive mixture is formed at some desired radial distance from the wellbore. The reactants may be such that the explosive mixture autodetonates with the passage of time or may be detonated by shock, as by the detonation of a conventional detonating device. The reactants may also be injected in cycles, each cycle comprising the reactants separated by a slug of inert spacing medium. The amount of spacer may be varied during the treating operation, as by decreasing the amount of spacing medium during the operation, so that the explosive reaction mixtures are formed in concentric regions of the formation surrounding the wellbore. The first reactant may be used as a hydraulic fracturing fluid, and contain conventional and/or shock-sensitive explosive propping agents. Upon detonation of the explosive reaction mixtures, the formation is fractured in a radial manner with the resulting fractures propagated both outward into the formation and inward toward the wellbore so as to enhance the subsequent recovery of minerals or fluids from the formation.

IN THE SEPARATION OF PARA-XYLENE FROM MIXTURES CONSISTING PREDOMINANTLY OF META- AND PARA-XYLENE ISOMERS BY FRACTIONAL CRYSTALLIZATION, SMALL AMOUNTS OF GASEOUS EUTECTIC INHIBITORS ARE DISSOLVED IN THE XYLENE MIXTURE TO LOWER TO EUTECTIC POINT OF THE MIXTURE AND IMPROVE RECOVERY OF PARA-XYLENE THEREFROM, THE AMOUNT OF GAS DISSOLVED IN THE XYLENE MIXTURE IS BETWEEN ABOUT 0.01 AND ABOUT 4.0 MOLE PRECENT AND IS PREFERABLY IN THE RANGE BETWEEN ABOUT 0.3 AND ABOUT 1.0 MOLE PRECENT.
