Abstract: Particulate waste comprising hydrolyzable metal chlorides, typically chlorinated byproducts from the chlorination of titaniferous material, is treated in an oxidizing atmosphere at elevated temperature for depleting it of chlorine and for subsequent recovery of values.

Abstract: A reconstituted pimiento strip useful for stuffing olives using automatic equipment is prepared by employing a forming apparatus comprising a pair of opposed, continuous belts, the lower belt being recessed on its mating surface to define a trough into which a mixture of pimiento and binder is introduced. The orientation of the belts relative the horizontal is such that both belts dip into a calcium chloride setting bath at a point intermediate their ends. The apparatus further includes discharge nozzle means to introduce the pimiento/binder mix onto the recessed area of the lower belt, the leading nip between the upper and lower belts being downstream of said nozzle means.

Abstract: A ribbon feed mechanism for a typewriter has a linkage for incrementally feeding a ribbon, a power roll rotated by a motor and a control member actuated by a printing mechanism for connecting the power roll to the linkage to incrementally feed the ribbon. The control member is also actuated by a carriage shift mechanism when shifting a carriage from an upper case position to a lower case position for connecting the power roll to the linkage to incrementally feed the ribbon.

Abstract: A curable coating composition contains a polymer having pendant mercaptan groups and a bis-maleimide cross-linking agent. The mercaptan groups of the polymer cross-link with the bis-maleimide upon curing to form a fully cured coating. In a preferred embodiment, the coating composition serves as a cathodic electrocoating composition.

Abstract: This invention resides in the discovery of a fluent food emulsifier concentrate comprising a normally liquid partial glycerol ester food emulsifier vehicle in which is stably dispersed ethoxylated fatty acid esters and solid phase fine crystalline food emulsifier components, said concentrate being mechanically dispersible into a comestible mixture for the emulsification thereof. The present invention is particularly suitable for the preparation of a stable fluid shortening containing the emulsifier concentrate and a liquid edible oil suitable for bread and dough mixtures providing both dough conditioning and anti-staling properties. In an example of the present invention, the fluid concentrate comprises a fluent monoglyceride such as glycerol monooleate admixed with ethoxylated mono- and diglyceride and a solid phase ester emulsifier such as a succinylated mono- and diglyceride, or the alkali or alkaline earth metal salt of an acyl lactylate.

Abstract: Optically active terpene hydroxysulfonate salts are made by sulfonating an optically active terpene epoxide of the p-menthane family, with a sulfonating agent selected from a sulfite, a bisulfite, or a thiosulfate.

Abstract: .beta.-Phellandrene is prepared by pyrolyzing a para-menth-1-ene-7-sulfonate salt.

Abstract: A non-fractionated, partially hydrogenated, non-lauric glyceride oil product suitable as a hard butter is made by hydrogenating the oil with copper-chromite catalyst to an Iodine Value of about 100-110 followed by hydrogenation with a conventional hydrogenation catalyst, suitably nickel, until hard butter characteristics of the fatty product are achieved.

Abstract: An improved process for producing electrolytic iron is primarily based on maintaining the electrolytic bath at a low concentration of ferrous sulfate ions in combination with a certain concentration of NH.sub.3 and pH in the electrolytic bath. The electrolytic iron chips produced in accordance with this process are much more friable. A substantial improvement is obtained in an efficient grinding of the chips to -100 mesh (Tyler Screen) and smaller.

Abstract: Process for coating a substrate with a heat-curable coating composition comprising a compound having labile hydrogenation groups, a compound having unsaturated carbon-carbon or epoxy groups, and a carbamothioate curing agent. Heat-curing of the coated substrate above the critical temperature initiates formation of mercaptan and isocyanate curing units from the carbamothioate curing agent which curing units react with said compounds to cure the coating. In preferred embodiments the coating composition is dispersed in water, a fugative organic solvent, or is a powder coating.

Abstract: Unsaturated fatty acids refractory towards hydrogenation are rapidly and efficiently hydrogenated in the presence of nickel hydrogenation catalyst and of copper chromite adjunct catalyst with otherwise reasonably mild hydrogenation conditions.

Abstract: A ribbon feed mechanism for typewriters operable to incrementally feed a ribbon with a dual segment continuous motion ribbon feed. The ribbon is advanced an initial segment by a power actuated linkage and advanced a final segment by a spring urged arm acting on a multi-toothed cam. The initial segment feed occurs when a bellcrank is pivoted, and through a linkage, urges a ribbon metering shaft to rotate which, in turn, feeds the ribbon. Simultaneously, a spring biased cam follower is gradually displaced by the multi-toothed cam which is supported on the metering shaft. The final segment feed occurs as the spring biased cam follower is rapidly displaced down a cam surface of a tooth on the multi-toothed cam.

Abstract: An aqueous coating composition comprises a polymer having pendant mercaptan groups and cross-linking agent having alpha-, beta-ethylenically unsaturated carbonyl groups in aqueous dispersion. In a preferred embodiment, the coating composition serves as a cathodic electrocoating composition.

Abstract: Powder paint coatings of this invention are particularly suitable for ultraviolet curing and comprise specific spatial arrangements of ethylenically unsaturated polymers. The polymers contain pendant double bond unsaturation in combination with an epoxy adduct spaced on the polymer chain from a polyester adduct. The powder paint is free of cold flow and can be applied electrostatically or physically to metal substrates, moderately heated to obtain desired flow out, and then cross-linked or cured by ultraviolet irradiation.

Abstract: A process for the synthesis of perfume products, Vitamin E and intermediates described herein involving a coupling reaction. For instance, a process for the synthesis of dehydrophytol and Vitamin E comprising forming a C.sub.15 acetylene from hexahydropseudoionone and then coupling said acetylene with 1-acetoxy-4-chloro-3-methylbut-2-ene to form a C.sub.20 acetoxy-enyne. The latter is readily subjected to partial hydrogenation and saponification in that order to form a dehydrophytol, a useful intermediate for the synthesis of Vitamin E and other products.

Abstract: A simple, low-cost U-shaped hook termination for enclosed resistance elements useful in household appliances. The termination is particularly useful with a releasable contact shaped to enter the enclosure end. The effects of out-of-squareness of the end can also be minimized.

Abstract: Heat cured coatings cathodically electrodeposited from an aqueous dispersion of (a) an ionized reaction product of an epoxy resin and a monoamino alcohol or phenol, said reaction product also having a pendant hydrocarbon group, (b) an acid-functional aminoplast resin, and (c) a water soluble acid solubilizer, where the dispersion is free from water soluble acid which will be retained in the heat cured resinous coating are found to provide exceptional resistance to corrosion of ferrous metal substrates upon exposure to salt spray or detergent solutions.
