Abstract: A device and method of making and using the same in performing manual and automated chemical reactions and analyses of clinical assay mediums. Such device including a solid, microporous element formed of adsorbent material and having walls defining an internal cell structure comprised of interconnecting cells within which is contained a precise, measured quantity of reagents.
Abstract: Soda ash is prepared from dry-mined nahcolite ore by partially calcining the ore, dissolving the ore in aqueous solution, separating the resultant solution from the ore insolubles, crystallizing anhydrous sodium carbonate or sodium carbonate monohydrate, and recovering the crystallized sodium carbonate.

Abstract: YUtilization of a soda-type dry sorbent in a dry injection flue gas desulfurization process is increased, without sacrifice in the SO.sub.2 removal efficiency, by reinjecting a portion of the sorbent collected in the baghouse filter back into the hot flue gas stream along with fresh sorbent; the recycled sorbent is optionally cooled below the bag filter temperature prior to its reinjection.

Abstract: A method for removing small concentrations of phosphine contained in a carbon monoxide gas mixture by preferentially oxidizing the phosphine, in which the phosphine is oxidized with air at a temperature of from 500.degree. C. to 800.degree. C. to form phosphorus pentoxide, which is recovered from the gas mixture preferably as phosphoric acid.
