Abstract: Wet scrubbing process for cleaning waste gases containing formaldehyde such as those produced in the manufacture of fiber glass insulation has substantial advantages over alternative thermal incineration process in that it requires less capital equipment expense and utilizes far less energy for handling equal volumes of waste gases. The gases are scrubbed in two scrubbing zones, the first of which contains hexamethylenetetramine and ammonium hydroxide to which ammonia is added and the second of which has water added to it. A part of the second scrubbing solution is introduced into the first scrubbing solution and a part of the first scrubbing solution is drawn off from the system.

Abstract: A number of water-soluble, one-to-one quaternary ammonium adducts of unsaturated organic halides and dihalides with hexamethylenetetramine are known as being useful as antimicrobial agents. It has now been discovered that a two-to-one quaternary ammonium adduct can be prepared from hexamethylenetetramine and 3,4-dichlorobutene-1; this two-to-one adduct is a more active, less toxic antimicrobial agent than the known one-to-one quaternary ammonium adducts.
