  • Patent number: 9873617
    Abstract: A method for producing a sulphided copper sorbent includes the steps of: (i) contacting a sorbent precursor material containing one or more sulphidable copper compounds, with a sulphiding gas stream including hydrogen sulphide to form a sulphided sulphur-containing sorbent material, and (ii) subjecting the sulphided sulphur-containing sorbent material to a heating step in which it is heated to a temperature above that used in the sulphiding step and ?110° C., under an inert gas selected from nitrogen, argon, helium, carbon dioxide, methane, and mixtures thereof, the inert gas optionally including hydrogen sulphide. The method provides sulphided copper sorbents that have reduced levels of elemental sulphur.

  • Patent number: 7863444
    Abstract: Chemical compounds having structural formula I and physiologically acceptable salts thereof, are inhibitors of serine/threonine and tyrosine kinase activity. Several of the kinases whose activity is inhibited by these compounds are involved in immunologic, hyperproliferative or angiogenic processes. Thus, these compounds can ameliorate disase states where angiogenesis or endothelial cell hyperproliferaton is a factor. These compounds can be used to treat cancer, hyperproliferative disorders, rheumatoid artheritis, disorders of the immune system, transplant rejection, and inflammatory disorders.
