摘要:
Hydrophobic polymer particles (e.g., granules or fragments) employed as filter media, e.g., for filtering runoff water, include an antimicrobial compound on exterior surfaces and can reduce proliferation of microbial organisms as well as sorb chemical contaminants from the water. By employing this dual decontamination action, filter systems employing such particles can improve the quality of runoff water (or other contaminated water streams) and reduce the risk presented by potentially harmful organisms.

A process for the recovery and reuse of a heavy-metal oxidation catalyst solution from a high-boiling distillation residue having a cobalt content of 1-10 g/kg of residue is disclosed. The distillation residue is obtained in the production of dimethyl terephthalate by the oxidation of mixtures containing p-xylene and/or methyl p-toluate in the liquid phase with oxygen or an oxygen-containing gas under an elevated pressure and at an elevated temperature in the presence of dissolved heavy-metal oxidation catalyst, by subsequent esterification of the oxidation product with methanol and by a distillatory separation of the esterification product into a fraction rich in methyl p-toluate, a fraction rich in dimethyl terephthalate, and the high-boiling distillation residue. The process involves the steps of effecting extraction of the heavy-metal oxidation catalyst from the high-boiling distillation residue with aqueous low-molecular aliphatic monocarboxylic acids under heating; treating the aqueous, acidic extract, which contains the heavy-metal oxidation catalyst and has a cobalt content with a strongly acidic cation exchange resin in the alkali metal form at an elevated temperature until the exchange capacity has been reached, and washing the cation exchange resin at an elevated temperature with water and regenerating the cation exchange resin at room temperature with a solution containing Na.sup.+ or K.sup.+ acetate to displace the catalyst components and to obtain an aqueous acetic acid catalyst solution containing the catalyst components.

摘要:
A system for reducing the hardness of raw water to a level where it is suitable for circulation to a boiler wherein the water is converted to steam for generating power and subsequent use in equipment for building tires. The system employs, (i) a sedimentation tank in which a mixture of raw water, lime and soda ash is heated to cause the precipitation of calcium carbonate from the water as a sludge; (ii) a filter with a bed of coal for removing sludge which escapes with the water removed from the sedimentation tank; (iii) a softener with a resinous bed of sodium zeolite resin for further reducing the hardness of the water to a desired or tolerable level; and (iiii) a special filter or trap between the coal filter and zeolite softener for removing particles of coal carried along by the water as it flows through the coal filter, since the particles of coal eventually destroy the capacity and effectiveness of the zeolite softener.

摘要:
A process for the separation of tungsten and molybdenum by extraction involves the addition to an aqueous solution containing tungsten and molybdenum nitric or hydrochloric acid to obtain a pH from 0.5 to 4.3, introduction of a stabilizer comprising water-soluble phosphorus salts and a complexing agent - hydrogen peroxide in an amount from 1.5 to 2 mol per 1 g-atom of the total content of tungsten and molybdenum. Then molybdenum is selectively extracted from the resulting aqueous solution with tri-n-butylphosphate with equal volumetric proportioning of the aqueous and organic solutions. Re-extraction of molybdenum and partially tungsten is carried out from the organic extracting agent with an alkali or soda solution.The process makes possible the preparation of tungsten solution containing no more than 0.001 g/l of molybdenum, and an increase in the degree of extraction of tungsten and molybdenum.
