  • Patent number: 4540551
    Abstract: There is provided a multi stage process for nonselectively chlorinating a titaniferous ore containing iron to produce TiCl.sub.4. In this process a portion of the ore charge is subjected to conventional fluid bed chlorination to produce TiCl.sub.4 and FeCl.sub.2. A second portion is subdivided and submitted to chlorination in a dilute phase chlorination step using FeCl.sub.3 as the chlorinating agent to produce additional TiCl.sub.4. The FeCl.sub.3 is obtained by partial oxidation of the FeCl.sub.2 obtained in the first stage and/or second stage to yield Fe.sub.2 O.sub.3 and FeCl.sub.3. The product streams of TiCl.sub.4 are then combined for further treatment.

  • Patent number: 4522962
    Abstract: Emulsion polymers produced by polymerizing ethylenically unsaturated monomers in an aqueous medium can be substantially improved by incorporating into the monomer mixture a minor amount of blend of epoxy resin and glycidyl acrylate.

  • Patent number: 4522961
    Abstract: The invention pertains to coating compositions comprising self-curing water-dispersed polymers, epoxy-acrylic copolymers, and preferably including epoxy phosphate polymers. The self-curing water-dispersed polymers produced preferably by step-wise polymerization of ethylenically unsaturated monomers comprising alkylol acrylamide monomer, functional monomers, and other monomers, wherein the alkylol acrylamide monomers are copolymerized in the second stage monomer addition to preferentially locate alkylol acrylamide groups in the surface portion of the latex polymer particles. Melamine resins can be added to improve the cure properties of the coating composition. The coating compositions are advantageously sprayable compositions and are particularly useful for interior coatings for food and beverage containers.

  • Patent number: 4521495
    Abstract: A process for treating wood substrate, including textured hardboard having surface irregularities consisting of high ridge areas protruding above the surface, with a low viscosity aqueous coating to produce a coated article having substantially uniform film thickness. A substantially uniform film can be obtained by preheating the substrate (about 250.degree. to 400.degree. F.), flooding the surface with the aqueous coating, partially dewatering and affixing the coating to the surface by coalescence and removing the excess coating. It is necessary to critically control the substrate temperature and time in which the coating remains in contact with the heated substrate before the excess coating is removed using an air knife.

  • Patent number: 4519988
    Abstract: There is provided an improved process for chlorinating an iron-containing titaniferous ore, such as ilmenite which comprises dividing the ore charge into 2 parts. The first and major part is chlorinated with chlorine or with a mixture of chlorine and FeCl.sub.3 under fluidized bed conditions to yield principally TiCl.sub.4 and FeCl.sub.2. The FeCl.sub.2 is separated out and utilized as a chlorinating agent for the minor part of the ore in an entrained flow chlorinator to yield more TiCl.sub.4 and metallic iron as principal products. This process avoids the need for disposal of FeCl.sub.2 and retains the advantages of conventional chlorination procedures.
