  • Patent number: 8187561
    Abstract: Processes and systems for recovering promoter-containing compounds, for example, perrhenates, from promoter-containing catalyst substrates, for example, substrates containing precious metals, such as silver, are disclosed. The processes include contacting the substrates with a first solution adapted to remove at least some of the catalyst promoter from the substrates, for example, an oxidizing agent, to produce a second solution containing catalyst promoter, passing the second solution through a porous medium adapted to capture at least some of the catalyst promoter, for example, a ion exchange resin; and passing a third solution, for example, a base solution, through the porous medium to remove at least some of the catalyst promoter from the porous medium and produce a fourth solution containing compounds having a catalyst promoter. Systems adapted to practice these processes are also disclosed.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 4572761
    Abstract: A paper dispensing apparatus includes a platform having a pair of wheels and a housing attached to the platform. A plurality of shafts extend upward from the platform to respectively support different widths of paper rolls. A handle may be attached to the housing to assist manipulation of the apparatus by an operator. Cutting blades are mounted in the housing adjacent the respective paper rolls and operate through vertical movement by means of a drawn cable. A shaft extends upward from the platform to support masking tape rolls at a position to overlap the side edge of the paper rolls. Adjustable retaining collars are provided to accommodate varying widths of paper rolls. Retaining springs are provided to apply tension to the paper rolls.
