Abstract: Bisacetals can be prepared by reacting an acetal-forming compound, such as acetone or 2,2-dimethoxypropane, with an aromatic compound having two pairs of ortho- hydroxy groups, such as 1,2,4,5-tetrahydroxybenzene.

Abstract: Low pour point hydrocarbon oil compositions are prepared by incorporating in a hydrocarbon oil such as crude oil, gas oil, residual fuel oil, etc. about 0.01 to about 0.5 percent by weight of an oil-soluble alkylated polybenzyl polymer or copolymer with, for example styrene, the said polymer or copolymer having a molecular weight of about 500 to about 50,000 or more. The polymer or copolymer may be added, for example, as a hydrocarbon solution to the base hydrocarbon oil after which the final oil composition is formed by heating the components to 100.degree. to 350.degree. F. for one hour or more with mixing.

Abstract: Compounds useful as lube oil additives are prepared by reaction of phosphorus halides and piperazine derivatives.

Abstract: Novel polymers, useful as films or filaments, are prepared as by the reaction of a bispiperazidophosphosphorus compound with a reactive derivative of an acid.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for evaluating the corrosion protection that will be provided to a metallic surface by a surface layer. The layer is formed by use of corrosion inhibitors in a corrosive fluid.

Abstract: Bisacetals can be prepared by reacting an acetal-forming compound, such as acetone or 2,2-dimethoxypropane, with an aromatic compound having two pairs of ortho- hydroxy groups, such as 1,2,4,5-tetrahydroxybenzene.

Abstract: Compounds useful as lube oil additives are prepared by reaction of phosphorus halides and piperazine derivatives.

Abstract: Polymers, particularly useful as flame-proofing agents, are prepared by the reaction of a bis-epoxide with a phosphorus-containing bispiperazide.

Abstract: Disclosed is a slow release fertilizer composition comprising a slack wax-urea adduct prepared by urea-dewaxing petroleum hydrocarbons in which the wax to urea ratio ranges from 0.08 to 0.30 and particularly intended for use on dry, desert-like soils. Solar radiation causes the wax to melt thereby slowly releasing the urea with the wax forming a biodegradable protective layer against wind erosion and water losses.

Abstract: Polyureas containing phosphorus are prepared by the reaction of a diisocyanate or a diisothiocyanate with a diamine. In a typical reaction, phenyl bispiperazidophosphate is reacted with tolylene -2,4-diisocyanate to yield a polyurea product which may be cast into a non-burning, flexible film.

Abstract: Disclosed is a process for purifying an effluent containing acids such as phosphonic and phosphoric acids by the addition of CaO or Ca(OH).sub.2 in an amount ranging from 55-93 per cent by weight basis acids at a temperature of 35.degree. to 100.degree. C to a pH of 8 to 12. After removing the precipitated material, the effluent can be neutralized with CO.sub.2 gas. The precipitate can be calcined to tri calcium phosphate.

Abstract: Skimmer apparatus for a pond or reservoir where the surface layer contains frangible solid matter. It employs a weir structure with a curved edge, and a pair of arms having interlocking teeth extending radially from the edge. One arm is stationary and one rotates so that the interlocking positions of the teeth will break up the solid matter.

Abstract: Diesel fuel composition comprising a mixture of hydrocarbons boiling in a range from about 310.degree. to 475.degree. F. containing an additive mixture composed of (1) dimeric and trimeric acids produced by the condensation of unsaturated aliphatic monocarboxylic acids having between about 16 and about 18 carbon atoms per molecule, and hydroxyaliphatic monocarboxylic acids having between about 16 and about 18 carbon atoms per molecule, (2) a normally liquid completely or partially neutral amine salt of an oxo-alkyl acid ester of orthophosphoric acid in which each esterifying oxo-alkyl group contains 13 to 16 carbon atoms and the amine is an aliphatic hydrocarbon monoamine of 16 to 24 carbon atoms in which each aliphatic hydrocarbon radical is attached to the nitrogen through a saturated carbon atom, (3) an aliphatic demulsifier consisting of fatty acids alkoxylated by a mixture of ethylene and propylene oxides and (4) a saturated hydrocarbon solvent.

Abstract: Disclosed are cross-linked polymer catalysts containing phosphonic acid groups on aliphatic bonds which are useful for hydrating alkenes under moderate temperature and pressure conditions.

Abstract: (Hydrocarbon-peroxy hydrocarbon) phosphonates, useful as polymerization initiators, prepared by the reaction of a hydroperoxide with a phosphonate of an unsaturated hydrocarbon may be used to polymerize acrylic monomers.

Abstract: Disclosed is a process for making ortho- and para-chlorophenols by treating alpha-cumylchloride with an aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution. The two products can be separated by distillation.
