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.
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:
A method to remove impurities from the oxygenated organic compounds methylphenol ether, diethylcarbonate, butyrolactone and 4-methyl-1,3-dioxolan-2-one by selectively complexing the impurity with a halide of an alkaline earth metal and then removing the so-complexed impurity from the oxygenated compound.
