Abstract: Polymerization of olefins in the presence of a catalyst system comprising a titanium-containing component A associated with a chemically treated silica-containing composition and a dihydrocarbylmagnesium compound and a cocatalyst component B comprising metal hydride or organometal compound derived from an element of Groups IA-IIIA of the Periodic Table.

Abstract: A carbon black reactor is characterized by a converging zone, a throat, a first reaction zone and a second reaction zone serially connected. Oil can be injected both upstream and downstream of the throat. Annular walls connect the throat with the first reaction zone and the first reaction zone with the second reaction zone.

Abstract: An improved process for dehydrating alcohols in which the catalyst used in the dehydration process is activated using an organic carboxylic acid.

Abstract: An article of manufacture exhibiting enhanced reflective properties with increased temperature comprising a thermoplastic, such as poly(phenylene sulfide), coated reflector manufactured by the process comprising coating a low viscosity silicone resin on to a heat resistant thermoplastic substrate, curing said coating and depositing a metallic coating such as by vacuum metallization. Optionally an exterior clear coating can be applied. Upon cooling the reflective surface returns to its normal reflective state.

Abstract: A composition of enhanced radio frequency sensitivity and a method for providing enhanced radio frequency sensitivity to a composition in which a substance suitable for enhancement of radio frequency sensitivity is admixed with a radio frequency sensitizing amount of an inorganic radio frequency sensitizer treated essentially to remove absorbed water and/or other volatiles with the radio frequency sensitizer chosen from among zinc oxide (American Process), bentonite clay, and crystalline or amorphous alkali or alkaline earth metal aluminosilicate. A process for molding using these compositions and the molded product. The composition, method for enhancing radio frequency sensitivity, process for molding and molded product with a polymeric substance, particularly ultra high molecular weight polyethylene, as the substance suitable for enhancement of radio frequency sensitivity.

Abstract: Resinous pigment concentrates comprising at least one pigment and a dispersing additive of a naphthenic extender oil and/or a phosphate ester blended with a major portion of a resinous polymer containing a significant proportion of at least one polymerized conjugated diene monomer, when used for coloring resinous polymers as described, are effective in reducing such defects in finished articles as gels and surface blemishes.

Abstract: A composition useful in sealing punctured tires that includes asphalt, alkadiene-vinylarene copolymer, hydrocarbon resin and other materials. The composition is simple to install and lightweight.

Abstract: A gas stream containing CO.sub.2 and H.sub.2 S is contacted with an alkanolamine in a contacting zone. The rich solution is then selectively stripped in a stripping zone to produce a gas stream containing a higher CO.sub.2 :H.sub.2 S mole ratio than the initial stream. This stream can be recycled to the alkanolamine contacting zone. The partially stripped solution can be introduced into another stripping zone to provide a third gas stream which is rich in H.sub.2 S and lean in CO.sub.2 suitable as feed for a Claus Unit and a lean alkanolamine solution which can be recycled to the contacting zone.

Abstract: Carboxylic acid derived from fatty acid or aralkyl acid is reacted with multiamine, to form a mixture containing amides, imides, and half esters with subsequent reaction with epoxide, particularly an alkylene oxide to produce a product mix that has good detergent properties in fuels.

Abstract: In a heat exchange unit that recovers waste heat from carbon black smoke by preheating oxygen-containing gas such as air being passed to a carbon black producing reactor, a control loop is provided that automatically diverts the oxygen-containing gas being preheated through a by-pass line if the temperature of the effluent smoke being removed from the heat exchange is below a minimum temperature value in order to minimize the deposition of carbon on the heat exchange surfaces in said heat exchange zone.

Abstract: A post-primary oil recovery process wherein the subterranean oil-bearing formation is treated by the sequential injection of (1) optional aqueous preflush to adjust connate water salinity, (2) aqueous saline surfactant system containing at least one acylated polypeptide salt surfactant, (3) optional thickened aqueous mobility buffer and (4) an aqueous drive, for the recovery of oil driven from the formation thereby.

Abstract: The moving of adjacent axial stream at sufficiently different speeds to create turbulence and rapid mixing of feedstock and hot gases in a carbon black reactor is utilized to provide a high surface area carbon black.

Abstract: Pitch is converted to mesophase pitch in the presence of catalytically effective amounts of oxides, diketones, carboxylates and carbonyls of metals selected from vanadium, chromium, molybdenum, iron, nickel and cobalt. The crystalloidal or mesophase pitch obtained can be used for the production of carbon fibers and other carbon and graphite products and articles of manufacture of unusually high quality.

Abstract: A catalyst system consisting essentially of a cobalt salt of a carboxylic acid, an alkali or alkaline earth metal hydroxide, and an alkanol is set forth and has been employed to oxidize a mercaptan to a disulfide.

Abstract: An unsaturated polyester resin syrup containing styrene monomer in which styrene volatilization is suppressed using a substituted succinic acid or substituted succinic anhydride.
