Abstract: A packing element for mass transfer column or towers and/or heat transfer columns or towers through which a gas and/or a liquid flows, is provided herein. The packing element possesses a plurality of exchange surfaces. The exchange surfaces of the packing element are formed by the surfaces of half-wave-shaped strips or wave-shaped strips. The packing element also possesses at least one first group of strips containing at least one half-wave-shaped strip or wave-shaped strip having a first periodic length, and at least one second group of strips adjoining thereto and containing at least one half-wave-shaped or wave-shaped strip having a second periodic length. Preferably, at least one outer side of the packing element is formed as a boundary element joining at least some of the strips of a group of strips.
Abstract: A novel pourable packing element is provided herein for use, in particular, in mass transfer and/or heat transfer towers through which a gas or a liquid flows. The exchange areas of such packing element are formed by the surfaces of half-wave-shaped or wave-shaped strips. The packing element possesses at least a first group of strips having a first periodic length and at least one adjoining second group of strips having at least one strip with a second periodic length. The first periodic length of a selected first strip in the first group of strips, (such selected first strip adjoining the second group of strips), and the second periodic length of a selected second strip in the second group (such selected second strip adjoining the first group of strips), is matched to each other in such a way that two adjoining strips of the first group of strips and the second group of strips are in contact with one another at at least one point, so that liquid can pass from one strip to the other strip.
Abstract: A process in which disubstituted ethane sulfonic compounds are employed as electroplating auxiliaries in electroplating. The compounds for use in combination with the claimed process have the general formula: ##STR1## wherein, A represents a pyridinium radical ##STR2## in which R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 denote hydrogen or an alkyl radical having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, or R.sub.1 and R.sub.2, together with the pyridinium radical, form a condensed six-membered aromatic ring; or,A represents a mercapto radical of the formula --S--R.sub.4, in which R.sub.4 denotes hydrogen or the group: ##STR3## and R.sub.3 is an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms. Also included within the scope of the present invention are alkali or ammonium salts of the compounds of the foregoing structural formula.
