Abstract: A resinous composition for fragrant substances is provided which comprises an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer containing from about 5% to about 35% of vinyl acetate monomer, by weight, and a diffusing agent selected from the group consisting of benzyl benzoate, benzyl salicylate, and di-(lower alkyl)phthalates, and mixtures thereof. The diffusing agent is absorbed in the copolymer. When fragrant substances are enclosed in a container made from the resinous composition of the present invention or the composition of the present invention is impregnated with such fragrant substances, a well-balanced, mild fragrance, inherent to the fragrant substance employed, is uniformly released over a long period of time.

A plastic overcap may be provided which engagedly fits around the container at its top.

Abstract: A system is described for control of sulfur oxides in emissions to the atmosphere from regenerators of cyclic Fluid Catalytic Cracking Units (FCC). By the disclosed system, hot regenerator flue gas is cooled, air (oxygen) is injected into the cooled flue gas unless oxygen is already present, and then the cooled flue gas is contacted with a solid particulate material which has the capability of associating with and binding sulfur oxides in the flue gas to form a stable solid material which is separated from the gases.

Abstract: A container for storing product and a process and apparatus for making the container. The container comrises a paperboard outer container and a plastic inner container which has been drawn and blow formed into the outer container. The container is characterized by plastic screw threads which extend from the plastic inner container around the upper portion of the outside of the paperboard outer container. The screw threads permit a cap to be screwed onto the container after product, e.g. food, is placed in the container. The screw threads are vacuum formed, preferably simultaneously with the blow forming of the plastic inner container.

Abstract: A paperboard product resistant to discoloration and otherwise stable upon heating, coated on the first surface thereof with a pigmented water impermeable layer and on the second surface thereof with a pigmented water permeable layer. The paperboard product is desirably used as the material employed in containers for food that is to be cooked in conventional or microwave ovens. The container is constructed so that the food in the container is in contact with the water impermeable layer.
