  • Patent number: 9126711
    Abstract: An article-transport container comprises a floor having a respective left-side and right-side closures that are foldably joined thereto. A front end wall is foldably joined to the floor and to the respective left-side and right-side closures. A rear end wall is foldably joined to the floor and to the respective left-side and right-side closures and at least one tri-layers corner cooperate with the respective left-side and right-side closures to define an interior region adapted to receive articles therein.

  • Publication number: 20110079364
    Abstract: A method of offsetting losses of ammonia from a pulping mill comprising cooking a lignocellulosic material in a cooking liquor, wherein cooking in the cooking liquor separates the lignocellulosic material into a pulp, capturing a vapor of the cooking liquor, condensing the vapor of the cooking liquor to yield a spent cooking liquor condensate, washing the pulp in a wash liquid, wherein washing the pulp removes at least a portion of the spent cooking liquor from the pulp, capturing the wash liquid, removing ammonia from the wash liquid to yield a regenerated ammonia, regenerating the cooking liquor from the spent cooking liquor condensate and the regenerated ammonia, combusting a waste material and a concentrated spent cooking liquor, wherein combusting the waste material and the concentrated spent cooking liquor yields a flue gas and heat, transferring the heat from combusting the waste material and the concentrated spent cooking liquor to water to generate steam, removing a sulfur-containing compound from th
