Abstract: Process and apparatus for firing a furnace using oxygen or oxygen-enriched air as the oxidant gas, comprising injection into the furnace of a plurality of oxidant jets, through nozzles, in a spaced relationship to a fuel jet, at a velocity sufficient to cause aspiration of furnace gases into the oxidant jets before the latter mix with the fuel jet, in amounts sufficient to lower flame temperature.
Abstract: A method for increasing the life of the refractory lining of a basic-refractory-lined vessel for the production of steel by blowing oxygen into a ferrous melt from above the surface of the melt, comprising:(a) introducing into the vessel slag forming ingredients, including dolomitic lime, such that the amount of dolomitic lime exceeds the amount normally used, and(b) introducing inert gas into the melt in such manner as to cause intensive interaction between the slag and the melt.The preferred inert gas is argon.

Abstract: Apparatus and process for delivering small controlled quantities of a liquid cryogen to a use point in an intermittent manner comprising an off-period in which no liquid is desired at the use point and followed by an on-period in which liquid is delivered to the use point essentially free of vapor.
Abstract: Process and product-by-process of selectively treating a surface of plastic film to prevent blocking by blanketing the surface with a noble gas and by striking a corona discharge within the noble gas atmosphere, while the other surface of the film is in contact with some other gas or gas composition, such as air.
