Abstract:
A process for thickening an organic liquid, particularly useful in the manufacturing of lubricant greases, comprises; mixing the liquid with a metal sulphonate and possibly a volatile organic solvent, and then heating and/or grinding the resulting mixture.
Abstract:
Aqueous-base compositions are disclosed for the lubrication of the piston and the cylinder liner of Diesel engines, particularly large engines, said compositions essentially comprising one or more water soluble anti-acid neutralizers, a water soluble organic fluid having a high boiling point temperature and one or more water-soluble detergents.Tests on large engines have shown that it is possible to lubricate the piston and the cylinder liner with an aqueous base fluid without using any crude petroleum derivative.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a boom for depolluting water surfaces of crude petroleum and its derivatives or from other oily substances, comprising one or more sheaths of mesh fabric filled with an active substance constituted by 10 to 90% of a support of low specific gravity, 9 to 80% of a surface active agent, and 1 to 10% of a wetting agent, and also preferably filled with granules or flocks of expanded material in a quantity of 5 to 80% by weight relative to the active substance.
Abstract:
An oil in water emulsion is prepared as a continuous process by causing a stream of water to flow through a duct containing a Venturi providing a converging frustum of a cone zone, a diverging frustum of a cone zone and a central zone joining the two frustum of a cone zones, so that the stream flows through a zone upstream of the Venturi where it is directed along a helicoidal path through the converging frustum of a cone zone to the central zone, drawing oil for emulsification to the duct at the zone upstream of the Venturi and causing it to flow along a helicoidal path in the same direction as the water to the central zone so that the oil and water mix and emulsify in that central zone, causing the emulsion so formed to flow through the diverging frustum of a cone zone, then causing the emulsion to flow along a helicoidal path of reverse slope, and thereafter discharging the emulsion from the duct.
