Abstract: Chloramine is continuously manufactured on a large scale by reacting gase chlorine with gaseous ammonia. Recovery of the chloramine is then effected by purging the area adjacent to the reactor discharge zone with either an inert gas or ammonia, and entraining the product steam in a high velocity jet of a cooling gas.

Abstract: A flueric cartridge initiator comprising a heat resistant or composite maial resonance tube, a hardened high strength thermal disk and copper seals, in combination with an ignition train comprising potassium dinitrobenzfuroxane initiating charge, a double-base flake propellant transfer charge, and an extruded multi-perforated main charge propellant.

Abstract: A composition for bonding integrated circuits to a heat sink and conducting eat therebetween. The composition is comprised of a thermoplastic polymer resin adhesive for supplying the bonding strength, a solvent for softening the adhesive to a putty like substance, and a filler for increasing the thermal conductivity of the adhesive.

Abstract: An explosive device having utility as a stab-initiated detonator or primer hich comprises a container for housing an explosive charge, and a single explosive charge consisting of from about 90 percent to about 98 percent by weight of mercuric-5-nitrotetrazole and from about 2 percent to about 10 percent by weight of tetracene, housed within the container.

Abstract: Solid compositions which are stable at ambient temperatures and which, when eated to initiate the reaction between the components of the compositions generate pure or mixed gaseous hydrocarbons which may be isotopically labeled, or pure or mixed hydrogen isotopes, or combinations of the above.The compositions comprise certain ammonium salts such as N(CH.sub.3).sub.4 Cl or NH.sub.4 Cl, and complex hydrides such as LiAlH.sub.4 or NaAlH.sub.4, or certain hydrazine derivatives such as N.sub.2 (CH.sub.3).sub.6 Cl.sub.2 or N.sub.2 H.sub.6 Cl.sub.2 and complex hydrides such as NaBH.sub.4, wherein all components H and C stand for the various isotopes of these elements.

Abstract: A predetermined amount of hydrogen peroxide is added to an aqueous waste eam containing organic pollutants, the mixture thoroughly mixed and the resultant mixture irradiated with ultraviolet light. The irradiation by ultraviolet light facilitates the breakdown of the hydrogen peroxide into hydroxyl radicals which are capable of oxidizing virtually any refractory organic compound, thereby reducing the chemical oxygen demand of an aqueous waste stream.
