Abstract: A process for the purification of crude thionyl chloride wherein the crude thionyl chloride is distilled in the presence of sulfur and a sulfur-aluminum chloride catalyst to convert the impurities, sulfuryl chloride and sulfur dichloride and remove them from the distillate of thionyl chloride. The thionyl chloride collected will contain less than 0.01% sulfuryl chloride, less than 0.1% sulfur monochloride and less than 0.01% sulfur dichloride.

Abstract: A novel process for the manufacture of .alpha.-ketocarboxylic acids which comprises the reaction of oximinohalide with cyanide ion to form oximinonitrile which is reacted with hydroxide ion to form oximinoacid and hydrolysis thereof to the .alpha.-ketoacid.

Abstract: Preparation of an insect attractant comprising the pyrolyzate of N-methylnicotinic acid and starch syrup for the control of insects such as cockroaches.

Abstract: N-substituted phenyl tetrahydrophthalimides, intermediates therefor and synthesis thereof, which compounds are useful herbicides.

Abstract: An improved process for preparing 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid, which acid is a plant growth regulator.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of phosphorous acid from phosphites contained in industrial wastes, wherein the waste material is dissolved in an aqueous solution of phosphorous acid and reacted with a strong mineral acid that will remove the cation of the phosphite producing phosphorus acid. An alternative method for preparation is the passage of the solution of phosphite in phosphorus acid through a cation ion exchange resin to produce phosphorous acid. A typical industrial waste containing phosphites is the waste that occurs from the process of manufacturing sodium hypophosphite.

Abstract: The compounds .alpha.-methyl(6-phenoxy-2-pyridyl)methyl 3-(2,2-dichloroethenyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate & S-.alpha.-methyl(6-phenoxy-2-pyridyl)methyl 3-(2,2-dichloroethenyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanethiocarboxylate, synthesis thereof, & use of said compounds for the control of pests.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are described. A thermosetting molding material, suitably a synthetic resin composition such as a phenolic molding composition, is initially heated and plasticized. The plasticized mass is passed as a stream through an injection nozzle which is maintained at a temperature sufficiently high to keep the mass in a plasticized condition but sufficiently low to avoid any substantial curing or setting-up of the mass. The plasticized mass is next passed through a temperature-controlled manifold maintained at a temperature sufficiently high to keep the mass in a plasticized condition but sufficiently low to avoid any substantial curing or setting-up of the mass. In the manifold the plasticized stream is divided into two or more smaller streams which are passed through a plurality of outlets into a plurality of partially open, heated molds. The mold cavities are maintained at temperatures sufficiently high to cure the thermosetting molding material.

Abstract: Methods for the production of seed for growing hybrid rice comprising the planting of rows of male parent seed interspersed with rows of female seed, synchronization of heading and pollination.

Abstract: The compound, cyclopropylmethyl 4-(2-cyclopropylcarbonyloxyethoxy)benzoate, novel intermediates therefor, synthesis thereof, and the use of said compound for the control of pests.

Abstract: A novel process for the manufacture of oximinonitriles which comprises the reaction of an oximinohalide with cyanide ion.

Abstract: The process disclosed in this invention takes the waste solids, gases, and water from a phosphorus pentasulfide manufacturing facility and hydrolyzes the phosphorus pentasulfide by heating. The phosphorus portion is converted to a soluble phosphate and the sulfur portion to a mixture of sulfide, sulfite and sulfate. The soluble fraction is then treated with a calcium hydroxide solution precipitating the phosphate and sulfates which are removed. The gaseous portion of the hydrolysis is fed to a catalytic oxidizer which converts the sulfides to sulfur, which is removed and the gas, free of sulfur containing species, is exhausted to the atmosphere. The filtrate from the precipitation reaction can be recycled to the plant, or may be chlorinated and discharged.
