Abstract:
The low temperature viscosity, freeze point depression and hydrocarbon hydrate formation depression characteristics of glycols are improved by replacing some of the glycol with butyrolactone. The mixture finds utility as a heat transfer medium and in natural gas processing.
Abstract:
IN THE PROCESS FOR TRANSFERRING AN AQUEOUS SLURRY OF CALCIUM SULFATE, CALCIUM, SULFITE, CALCIUM CARBONATE, DOLOMITE, MAGNESIUM SULFATE, MAGNESIUM SULFITE, MAGNESIUM CARBONATE, FLY ASH OR MIXTURE THEREOF IN CONTACT WITH SURFACE AREAS TO A SETTLING CHAMBER WHERE THE SOLIDS ARE SEPARATED FROM THE LIQUID, POLYACRYLAMIDE IS ADDED TO THE SLURRY TO PREVENT SCALE FORMATION ON THE SURFACES. SUBSEQUENT SEPARATION OF THE SOLIDS FROM THE SLURRY IS NOT ADVERSELY AFFECTED.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an improved method for the briquetting of calcium chloride. The method involves intermixing polyethylene glycol with the calcium chloride fines to be briquetted. The use of polyethylene glycol, which ranges in molecular weight from 1000 to 200,000 and is employed in an amount of from 0.1 to 10 weight percent of the calcium chloride, provides briquettes having distinct advantages over calcium chloride briquettes prepared without such an additive.
