Abstract: Phthalic acid anhydride is recovered from a gas stream containing phthalic acid anhydride vapors by passing the gas stream upwardly through a vertical tube so that the gases expand at the orifice at the upper end of the tube and mix with granules entrained above the tube by fluidizing gas of a fluidized bed of phthalic acid anhydride granules around the tube. The tube, kept free from phthalic acid anhydride granules and the fluidized bed, is indirectly cooled.

Abstract: The membrane serves to cover a gas diffusion electrode on its outside surface facing a liquid electrolyte. The membrane is impermeable to gas and water-absorbent. It comprises a textile carrier layer. At least one gas-sealing layer, which contains ion exchange material and binder in a weight ratio from 10:1 to 1:2, is bonded to the textile carrier layer. In the manufacture of the membrane, an adhesive layer consisting of a binder in a solvent and subsequently at least one gas-sealing layer are applied to the textile carrier layer.
Abstract: The radiation to be analyzed is sent onto an interference filter which selects different portions of the radiation spectrum in correspondence with different incidence angles. The intensity values of the radiation outgoing from the element are stored by a measuring and data processing unit which processes such values with the transfer function of the element to obtain the information on the spectrum.
