Abstract: A process for selectively removing alkyl substituted phosphine from an organic liquid containing same and triarylphosphine by treating said liquid with phosphoric acid.

Abstract: A process for the water-in-oil emulsion polymerization of at least one ethylenically-unsaturated monomer is disclosed wherein a water-in-oil emulsion of said monomer is polymerized in the presence of a first, highly reactive polymerization initiator until a small amount of polymer is present sufficient to provide a shear-stable emulsion, followed by completing the polymerization in the presence of a second, less reactive polymerization initiator.

Abstract: Catalytic cracking catalysts and catalytic cracking process wherein the cracking catalysts are prepared by: (1) contacting a mixture of a large pore zeolite and an inorganic oxide matrix at effective conditions of temperature, pH and time with a fluoro salt; and (2) ammonium exchanging the product of step (1) to provide a catalyst having less than 0.3 percent by weight Na.sub.2 O. Optionally, the product is provided with an effective amount of at least one cation selected from the class consisting of cerium, lanthanum, praseodymium, neodymium, promethium, samarium, europium, lutetium, gadolinium, terbium, dysprosium, holmium, erbium, thulium and ytterbium.

Abstract: Divalent metal complexes of novolacs act as modifiers for alkyds, drying oils, epoxy esters, epoxy resins and thermoplastic polyhydroxyethers. Lamellar, non-lamellar and spherical pigments improve corrosion and salt spray resistance of coatings made from these compositions.

Abstract: Electrically conductive compositions comprising an ethylene polymer, a mineral filler and carbon black having a surface area greater than about 500 m.sup.2 /gram, these compositions being useful as extrudates about electrical conductors providing conductive shields thereon.

Abstract: The disclosure of this application is directed to unsaturated polyester compositions, containing as a low-profile additive a carboxyl containing thermoplastic polymer of a vinyl ester of an aliphatic, saturated monocarboxylic acid, which have particular utility in molding applications to form aesthetically attractive thermoset articles characterized by excellent physical properties, as for example, impact strength and by excellent surface properties such as excellent smoothness and gloss, excellent receptiveness to paints and excellent reproduction of the surface contours of the mold in which they are formed into shaped, thermoset articles.
