  • Thermo-mechanical Processing Of High-Performance Al-RE Alloys
    Publication number: 20220380868
    Abstract: Production of a bulk Al-RE alloy body (product) using cast billets/ingots (cooling rates <100 C/s) or rapidly solidified Al-RE particulates (cooling rates 102-106° C./second) that have beneficial microstructural refinements that are further refined by subsequent consolidation to produce a consolidated bulk alloy product having excellent mechanical properties over a wide temperature range such as up to and above 230° C.

  • Method for separating the product effluent of an alkylation process
    Patent number: 4115471
    Abstract: In an alkylation process, the separation of the hydrocarbon effluent is accomplished by modifying the depropanizer tower to provide a lower bottom temperature. The depropanizer bottoms is flash separated to release an isobutane rich recycle stream with higher boiling alkylate being passed to an isostripper for separation with alkylation hydrocarbon effluent not passing through the above sequence. The use of low pressure steam for heat duty in the above sequence reduces energy requirements of the processing combination.
