  • Method of converting methane to methanol
    Patent number: 8642817
    Abstract: The present invention includes a method for converting methane to methanol by providing a methane source to provide methane; contacting the methane with chlorine; exposing the methane to a light source to form methyl chloride; converting the methyl chloride with H20 to methanol and hydrochloric acid; converting the hydrochloric acid to chlorine; and purifying the methanol. The chemical cycle can be applied to the synthesis of alkane alcohols higher than methanol where appropriate.

  • Process for reducing draw resonance in polymeric film
    Patent number: 4608221
    Abstract: A process for reducing draw resonance of a polymeric molten film susceptible to draw resonance under conditions which would cause draw resonance by extruding the film from a die and rapidly cooling said film in a rapid cooling zone containing a pressure roll and chill roll by providing a tensioning device between said die and the nip of said pressure and chill roll, said tensioning device providing a substantially friction free surface with respect to said moving film.

  • Process for reducing draw resonance in polymeric film
    Patent number: 4486377
    Abstract: A process for producing polymeric film substantially free of draw resonance under conditions and at rates which would otherwise cause draw resonance in polymeric film susceptible to draw resonance wherein a fluid medium is directed against the moving film at a location between the extrusion die and the film take-up zone.
