Abstract:
An H.sub.2 S-containing gas is combusted with oxygen in at least one burner, which discharges into a combustion chamber. The resulting mixed gases contain H.sub.2 S, SO.sub.2, free hydrogen and elementary sulfur and are at temperatures of about 900.degree. to 2000.degree. C. At temperatures of about 900.degree. to 2000.degree. C. at least part of the free hydrogen is removed from said mixed gases. The free hydrogen may be removed from the mixed gases, e.g., through membranes.
Abstract:
For a treatment of the residues which become available as dry dust in the purification of exhaust gas and contain, inter alia, 5 to 12% by weight CaO and have a conductance in excess of 6000 .mu.S/cm, a process is proposed in which the residues are fluidized with purified exhaust gas in a circulating fluidized bed system consisting of a fluidized bed reactor, separator and recycling line and the CaO contained in the residues is reacted with the CO.sub.2 contained in the exhaust gases to form CaCO.sub.3.
Abstract:
In an electrolyzer comprising individual cells which are geometrically arranged one behind the other and consist each of two metallic partitions disposed between the cell and the adjacent cells, a diaphragm disposed between the partitions, and apertured electrodes which are mounted on both sides of and spaced from the diaphragm, a protection against short circuits and corrosion is afforded in that spacers consisting of a non-metallic high-melting hard material and firmly joined to the electrodes have been inserted into the space that is defined by the electrode and the diaphragm.
Abstract:
A bonding composition comprising an aqueous dispersion is described, which is used to bond natural and synthetic elastomers to metallic and nonmetallic substrates under vulcanizing conditions. Such dispersions contain an organic polymeric film-forming substance, an aromatic polynitroso compound, and a coactivator and optionally contain conventional adhesion promoters, fillers and processing aids. In order to widen the field of application and to ensure a high stability of the bond against corrosive influences, the coactivator particularly consists of phenylene bis-maleic acid imide, but one more of the following may be used: triallyl- cyanurate, triallylisocyanurate, diallylacrylamide, tetraallylterephthalamide, tris(1-methyl-2-propenyl) isocyanurate, trivinylisocyanurate, triallyltrimellitate, diallylphthalate, ethylene-glycoldimethacrylate, trimethylolpropanetrimethacrylate, and 1,3-butyleneglycoldimethacrylate.
Abstract:
A process to form phosphate coatings on individual parts of metal which at least on part of their surface consists of iron or steel. The individual parts are contacted at a temperature in the range of from 60 to 100 degrees centigrade for 3 to 30 seconds with an aqueous phosphating solution which contains 10 to 80 g/l zinc, 12 to 80 g/l phosphate (calculated as P.sub.2 O.sub.5), 40 to 150 g/l nitrate and, in addition 0.1 to 10 g/l fluoride, 0.01 to 10 g/l nickel, 0.0001 to 0.1 g/l copper, and may also contain tartaric acid, citric acid and/or manganese and in which the ratio of free acid to total acid has been adjusted to (0.1 to 0.3):1 and which contains at least 80 points of total acid and is virtually free of iron(II) ions. Prior to phosphating treatment, the individual parts may be cleaned and may optionally be treated to remove rust, scale and phosphate layers and/or be activated. After the phosphating treatment they may be passivated with an after-rinse solution. Each of said process steps is carried out for 3 to 30 seconds.
Abstract:
A process is disclosed wherein NO contained in a gas is reduced by means of NH.sub.3 as a reducing agent. A mixture of the NO-containing gas and NH.sub.3 is reacted at 290.degree. to 450.degree. C. in the presence of a catalyst, which comprises a support of SiO.sub.2 and contains 5 to 15% by weight manganese sulfate and iron sulfate. The mole ratio of manganese sulfate and iron sulfate, which is calculated as FeSO.sub.4, is between 1:10 and 10:1. The support has a pore volume of 0.6 to 1.6 ml/g and an average pore diameter of 10 to 100 nm.
Abstract:
A process is disclosed for the regeneration of pickling solutions which contain ZrF.sub.4 by addition of a Na compound in which a charge of the pickling solution to be regenerated is analyzed and heated. The amount of Na required for the regeneration is determined in each case and is admixed with intense stirring. Then the mixture is cooled, the precipitated NaZrF compounds are separated and a regenerated pickling solution is recovered.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an improved process for the production of a sulfur trioxide conditioning gas, which consists in compensating the faulty "ambient gas temperature" in a simple and effective manner, such that all of the subsequent functions can take place at the established optimum temperature and can no longer be adversely affected by fluctuations in the ambient air temperature.
Abstract:
Process for grinding and/or polishing metal articles in rotofinish equipment, in which (a) an adjusted quantity of said articles, which have a metal surface roughness that is higher than required for the finish, usually larger than 5 .mu.m in AA (i.e. arithmic average); are introduced to a rotofinish apparatus and rotated for some time with (b) an adequate quantity of chips suitable for grinding and/or polishing the metal articles to be treated and (c) a compound that promotes grinding and/or polishing comprising one or more organic acids, wherein the compound is an organic acid or mixture of organic acids or solutions of organic acids in a concentration suitable for grinding and/or polishing the metal articles, and in that the grinding environment also comprises a finely divided metal or alloy with an oxidation potential greater than zero.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a process of producing phosphate coatings on surfaces which consist of aluminum or its alloys and of at least one of the materials steel and galcanized steel by spraying or by spraying and dipping. Uniform phosphate layers having a high cover factor are obtained by the use of a phosphating solution which contains about 0.4 to about 0.8 g/l Zn, about 10 to about 20 g/l P.sub.2 O.sub.5, at least one accelerator and about 80 to about 220 mg/l fluoride ("F(el)"), as determined by a fluoride-sensitive electrode immersed into the bath solution and in which the content of free acid (FA) (in points) has been adjusted to and is maintained at a value corresponding to FA=(0.5 to 1.0)+K wherein K is calculated as K=(0.002 to 0.012).times.F(el). The free acid (FA) content is preferably adjusted to and maintained at FA=(0.04 to 0.06).times.C.sub.P.sbsb.2.sub.O.sbsb.5 +K and the content of free acid (FA) is determined using K=(0.003 to 0.009).times.F(el). The process is particularly suitable for preparing the surfaces for being painted, preferably by electrophoretic dip painting.
