Abstract: A fungicidal composition comprising from 19 wt % to about 50 wt % of a halogenated aromatic dinitrile, from 19 wt % to about 50 wt % of copper salts of fatty and rosin acids, from about 0.05 wt % to about 15 wt % surfactant, and from about 2 wt % to about 60 wt % carrier. The copper salts comprise from about 20 wt % to about 30 wt % copper oleate, from about 15 wt % to about 25 wt % copper linoleate, from about 45 wt % to about 55 wt % copper abietate, and from about 1 wt % to about 2 wt % copper palmitate and copper stearate.

Abstract: A receptacle device useful for receiving material, comprising a container having an open end, a closure or lid detachably and pivotally mounted on the open end of the container and an operating member connected to the closure so that the closure can be raised to and from a closed position in response to operation of the operating member.

Abstract: A container including a closure having an automatic closure lock device which is manually releasable.

Abstract: A solar energy device for collecting solar radiation, converting the radiation to thermal energy and storing the thermal energy, and a process for manufacturing of same.

Abstract: Chemical waste by products are used in place of conventional heating fuels both for induration and chloridization of impure iron oxide. Pelletized iron oxide is hardened and purified simultaneously by exposure to the heat and combustion products generated from burning chlorinated organic by-products. Hydrogen chloride produced during this combustion reacts with trace metal impurities in the iron oxide to effectively remove substantially all such impurities as volatile metal chlorides. Conventional fuel and binder requirements are substantially reduced or completely eliminated through use of such by-products, while remedying the problem of their disposal.

Abstract: A defoamer for controlling the foam in high strength acid media and process for preparing same having a majority of a sulfonated tall oil and minority of a long chain alcohol.

Abstract: An anode configuration, anode basket and method of packaging anodes within the basket.

Abstract: A method or process for transferring finely divided solids from a first location under the influence of atmospheric pressure to a second location under the influence of pressures of the order of 500 to 10,000 psi.

Abstract: Crushed carbonaceous fuel is rapidly mixed with hot hydrogen, at 500.degree. to 1,500.degree. C. and 0 to 250 psig., in a reactor, and then, after a short reaction time, rapidly quenched. The total heat-up, reaction, and quench time is less than 2 seconds. This short residence time and rapid heat-up results in a high yield of carbonaceous tars. The carbonaceous tars are subsequently and directly introduced into a fluid coker to obtain gas, upgraded carbonaceous tars, and hot coke.
