The composition includes an electrolyte vehicle which is essentially free of the heavy metal being detected and measured, a measured quantity of at least one metal ion-containing reagent dissolved therein, said metal ion (1) being adapted to displace the heavy metal from its organic chemical bonding and (2) remaining in electrolytic solution at the electrolytic deposition potentials of the heavy metals being detected and measured, a dispersing agent, and a hydrogen ion source for adjusting the pH of said composition to pH about 1.

Abstract: The corrosion of iron and steel surfaces by an aqueous alkanolamine conditioning solution used to remove CO.sub.2 from a gas stream is effectively inhibited by a combination of a vanadium containing ion and a di- or triamine. A surprising fact is that some of the amine co-inhibitors have been identified by others in the art as promoting ferrous metal corrosion.

Abstract: By pouring a solution containing hydrolyzable tin and antimony salts into an aqueous dispersion of titanium oxide particles and mixing, the salts are caused to hydrolyze, whereby a uniform and strongly adherent coating layer of antimony-containing tin oxide is formed on the surface of each particle of the titanium oxide. The coated powder thus obtained is non-hygroscopic and non-toxic and exhibits stable electroconductivity. Furthermore, since it can possess excellent whiteness, it is suitable for forming the electroconductive layers of electro-thermosensitive papers and electrostatic recording papers, for use as the antistatic agent of resins, and for other uses.

Abstract: A getter body for use in encapsulated electrical components is of the type consisting of a powder mixture which has been compressed into tablet form. The powder mixture contains in addition to traditional getter material such as activated carbon, zeolite or the like, aluminum stearate and a binder containing a synthetic such as a polyamide. The getter body is produced in several sequential steps. The getter material is mixed with a polycarbonate or a water glass solution, which is then dried and then pulverized. To this first powder is added the aluminum stearate and the binder containing a synthetic. The resulting powder may then be dried and is then pressed into tablets. The tablets may then be heat-cured and are then surfaced polished. The resulting tablets have good abrasion resistance without a noticeable loss in the getter effectiveness.

Abstract: In a method of treating a subterranean formation, a well treatment composition comprising a dispersion of a water-in-oil emulsion in an aqueous medium is injected into the formation. The water-in-oil emulsion has an internal aqueous phase and an external phase containing a liquid hydrocarbon and a surfactant soluble in the hydrocarbon. The compositions can be designed to perform various well treatment applications including hydraulic fracturing and acidizing and can also be used to encapsulate or to transport well treatment materials and chemicals into the wellbore or formation. Treatment methods may also employ dispersions of a reactive simple or multiple emulsion. The distinct phases of the compositions may be selected to form treatment solutions upon mixing. Thus, improved acidizing may be achieved through an in situ reaction format.

Abstract: From a refinery's intermediate byproduct composed of a sulfide, oxide or arsenide containing copper and arsenic, a liquid extract containing copper and arsenic at a concentration ratio of not less than 1.0 is obtained. The liquid extract is cooled to a predetermined temperature to achieve solid-liquid phase separation, and the liquid resulting from the phase separation is neutralized to pH 6-7 to isolate copper and arsenic in the form of a composite precipitate. The composite copper-arsenic compound mixture thus obtained has a high purity and low production cost and can be converted through a simple treatment into an effective antiseptic for wood.
