Abstract: The present invention provides an aqueous ink composition having water-resistance in written trace or printed image on or after writing down and having good solution stability; which comprises as a coloring agent a reaction mixture of a dye, an epoxy compound and optionally an amine compound.

Abstract: A dye composition prepared by polymerizing an unsaturated monomer in the presence of a quinoneimine dye and an azo initiator in amounts expressed by x.gtoreq.5 and y.gtoreq.0.33x.sup.1.2 wherein x is the amount of the quinoneimine dye in % by weight based on the unsaturated monomer, and y is the amount of the azo initiator in % by weight based on the unsaturated monomer. The composition is useful for preparing toners for developing electrostatic images because of its outstanding charge control effect and also for preparing electrostatic coating powder compositions.

Abstract: A toner for developing electrostatic latent images which is characterized in that the toner comprises as a charge control agent a zinc complex compound of an aromatic hydroxycarboxylic acid having or not having a substitutent.

Abstract: A complex system for developing electrostatic images, and particularly a toner which comprises 100 parts by weight of a resin and for instance 0.5 to 5 parts by weight of the complex system, such as a metal complex composed of, e.g. a metal such as Cr, Co or Fe, and both an aromatic dicarboxylic acid which is capable of forming an acid anhydride or of a substituted such aromatic dicarboxylic acid, and an aromatic hydroxycarboxylic acid capable of forming a complex compound or a derivative thereof, e.g. a substituted such aromatic hydroxycarboxylic acid.

Abstract: A complex system for developing electrostatic images, and particularly a toner which contains a metal complex represented by the formula ##STR1## wherein a or b is a benzene ring moiety or cyclohexene ring moiety with or without C.sub.4 -C.sub.9 alkyl substituents, R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are each hydrogen, C.sub.4 -C.sub.9 alkyl or a substituent which may be in the form of a benzene ring moiety or cyclohexene ring moiety with or without C.sub.4 -C.sub.9 alkyl substituents, provided that both R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are not hydrogen at the same time, Me is Cr, Co or Fe, and X is a counter ion such as hydrogen or sodium. The metal complex has good compatibility with the resin component of the toner and is substantially colorless, imparting outstanding durability to the toner.

Abstract: A method for removing tar from crude tolylene diisocyanate comprises quantitatively feeding a starting solution consisting of crude tolylene diisocyanate containing tar or its mixture with an inert organic solvent into the inlet of an elongated heating tube, thereby producing annular shape stream or spray stream of the starting solution in the region on the outlet of the heating tube, spouting the starting solution in this state from the outlet of the heating tube into a separation chamber kept at reduced pressure and thereby recovering tar in the form of nonviscous and porous masses from the starting solution.

Abstract: An aniline condensed dye is semicontinuously prepared from aniline and nitrobenzene (and/or alkylanilines, alkylnitrobenzenes, diazoaminobenzene and the like) in the presence of a catalyst such as hydrochloric acid and iron chloride by dividing a reaction system into two or more sections and maintaining each section at a different reaction temperature.
