Abstract:
The effectiveness is prolonged for catalytic oxidizers to reduce emissions of both HC and CO from two-stroke gasoline engines. A compound of a platinum group metal is added to the cylinder of the engine, to make it available as an active oxidation catalyst by combustion of the fuel. Preferably, the platinum group metal compound is added with the lubricating oil, but can be added to the fuel or through a separate injection.

Abstract:
A method for the cleavage of organosiloxanes with chlorosilanes in the presence of ferric chloride and hydrogen chloride as catalysts resulting in chloroalkyl silanes or chloroaryl silanes, and organosiloxanes, which are characterized by one or more --O--Si--R.sub.3 groups, (R.dbd.alkyl or aryl), which are directly bound to a silicon atom which in turn is bound either to the same grouping or to an alkyl or aryl moiety.
Abstract:
A hydrogen energy releasing catalyst comprises a liposoluble organometallic lithium and a vehicle or diluent oil. A process for preparing the aforementioned catalyst which comprises dissolving or dispersing a liposoluble organometallic lithium in a vehicle or diluent oil. A method of using the aforementioned catalyst which comprises adding it to a hydrocarbon fuel at a specified catalyst-to-fuel ratio according to the type of fuel and the combustion device used. In the case of a gasoline or diesel internal combustion engine, the mileage increases from 15% to 35%, while in a furnace or boiler, the fuel efficiency increases from 20% to 35%.
