Abstract: Shaped graphitic or graphite-like carbonaceous bodies are produced by forming binder-coated particles of a carbonaceous filler in a slurry, shaping the slurry or paste of the particles to the desired configuration, drying and cokefying the shaped body. The system is suitable for the production of graphitic structures for use in high-temperature gas-cooled nuclear reactors, as casting molds and the like. The present invention starts with the assumption that binder-coated filler particles are available, the particles having been coated uniformly (e.g. as described in our application Ser. No. 267,480).

Abstract: A process for producing sulfones in which sulfur dioxide is electrolytically transformed into SO.sub.2.sup.- ions and caused to react with organic compounds having functional groups replaceable by SO.sub.2.sup.-, in an aprotic organic solvent, to produce the corresponding organosulfone. According to the present improvement, an ester such as sulfonic acid or sulfuric acid ester, is added to the solvent as an organic compound capable of reacting with halogen ions of a salt, such as tetraalkylamoniumhalogenide or tetraalkylphosphoniumhalogenide, introduced into the solvent as a conductivity-promoting agent.
