Abstract: A device which can be fitted on the chair of a chairlift cable transport system used in tourist resorts and which provides passengers with a protection against cold and adverse weather conditions. Properly shaped plate elements are so arranged that in a deployed position they form a continuous protecting shield extending from above the seat to downward and frontward of the seat and that when in an upward folded position they are superposed so that the device has a very reduced area subject to wind action on empty chairs thus permitting the keeping of all chairs permanently on the cable without jeopardizing the whole line during adverse weather conditions. Springs bias the safe-guard rail towards the folded position. The device adds little weight, is easy to operate by the passengers and does not affect the usual embarcation or disembarcation procedures.

Abstract: Type A, especially type 4A zeolites are well adapted as detergent builders, said zeolites comprising (i) primary particles having a mean particle diameter ranging from 0.1 to 10.mu., (ii) a cation exchange capacity in excess of about 100 mg CaCO.sub.3 /g of anhydrous material, and (iii) a rate constant, relative to the surface area of the zeolite per liter of wash solution, in excess of about 0.15 s.sup.-1 lm.sup.-2. The builders are prepared by first determining the value of the rate constant for a given zeolite sample. Since a higher rate constant value corresponds to a lower degree of salt incrustation on fabrics, only those zeolites having a value above the predetermined minimum will be incorporated into detergents. Thus, zeolites otherwise appearing identical can be differentiated, with only those not causing high levels of incrustation being selected.

Abstract: A crystalline, alkali metal aluminosilicate of type 4A is prepared by reaction between an aqueous solution of an alkali metal silicate and an aqueous solution of an alkali metal aluminate, and includes the steps of (i) introducing a flow of at least a portion of at least one of said reactant solutions into a reaction zone; (ii) co-introducing with said flow (i) an in line flow of at least a portion of the other reactant solution into said reaction zone; (iii) thus establishing in said reaction zone a liquid mixture of said aqueous reactant solutions and said liquid admixture comprising a gel-formation medium; (iv) establishing gel-formation elevated temperatures within said gel-formation medium to effect formation of a mixture comprising an aluminosilicate gel-phase and a mother liquid; (v) recycling said gel-phase/mother liquor to said flow (i); (vi) maintaining said gel-phase comprising said gel-formation medium under such elevated temperatures for such period of time as to effect crystallization of the alu

Abstract: The invention concerns catalysts for treating residual gases, containing hydrogen and carbon derivatives of sulphur, by the Claus reaction. These catalysts have a specific area of at least 80 m.sup.2 /g and essentially comprise active alumina and a titanium compound. They enable carbon compounds of sulphur to be destroyed and the Claus reaction proper to be obtained with good yields.

Abstract: The invention is addressed to very light alumina-based agglomerated bodies, the porosity of which comprises pores of large dimensions. These bodies are produced from alumina gels which are dehydrated in hot gas streams so that the amount of water remaining, which can be measured by calcination at high temperature, is from 8 t0 35% of the weight of the treated gels; the treated gels to which other components can be added are agglomerated by any known means. These bodies can be used in particular in adsorption, catalysis, and chromatography.

C prepared by autoclaving alumina and at least one additive from the group of oxides of lanthanum, neodymium, praseodymium and thorium. Bodies of the alumina of this invention are useful in adsorption and catalysis.

Abstract: The invention concerns alumina-based spherically shaped grains produced from pastes of moistened particles. These grains are produced by subjecting the pastes, in the form of grains of any shape whatever, to the action of mechanical vibrations of frequencies within the range of from a few herz, in liquids which are slightly or not at all water-miscible. To the alumina, which is the main component, particles of various natures and acids, bases and various compounds which are dissolved in the water used for preparing the pastes, can be added. Once matured, dried and calcined, the grains have a very high level of resistance to attrition, a porosity comprising pores of large dimensions, and can be used in particular for adsorption, chromatography and catalysis.
