Abstract: A problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a magnetic recording medium having a jet-black magnetic stripe which is not tinged with red. The present invention is directed to a magnetic recording medium including: a magnetic recording layer on a substrate; and a protective layer (a) on the magnetic recording layer, wherein the protective layer (a) contains an aniline coloring material. The magnetic recording medium is advantageous in that the magnetic stripe is jet-black and has excellent design properties, and therefore can be widely used for credit cards, bank cards and the like.

Abstract: A process for selectively preparing an unsaturated long-chain aliphatic secondary amine at a high yield comprising reducing an unsaturated aliphatic nitrile having 8 to 22 carbon atoms or a nitrile mixture containing said nitrile with hydrogen in the presence of a Ni hydrogenation catalyst and a carboxylic acid amide at a reaction temperature of 160.degree. C. to 200.degree. C.

Abstract: A method for purifying 1-aminoanthraquinone which comprises previously subjecting a crude 1-aminoanthraquinone to a removal treatment of inorganic impurities so that their content is reduced to not more than 4 wt. % as converted to ash basis or to a removal treatment of iodine-consuming reductive inorganic impurities so that their content is reduced to not more than 2 wt. % as converted to consumed iodine basis, and then rectifying the 1-aminoanthraquinone.

Abstract: A process for producing an aminoanthraquinone, which comprises feeding of a nitroanthraquinone and an alkali sulfide continuously into a reaction zone kept at a temperature of from 80.degree. to 140.degree. C., the alkali sulfide being used in an amount of 1.6 or more times the mole number of the nitro group, and withdrawing the reaction product continuously or intermittently from the reaction zone; and an aminoanthraquinone obtained by the above process which is one of the most important intermediates of anthraquinone dyes.

Abstract: A coated electrode having excellent electric conductivity and resistance against corrosion is obtained by electrodepositing lead dioxide on the surface of an alloy which consists of lead and silver.Prior to electrodepositing lead dioxide, the alloy is anodically oxidized beforehand in a solution of sulfate such that the surface of the alloy is oxidized. This enables the lead dioxide to be electrodeposited even in an acidic electrolyte.

Abstract: Anthraquinone is nitrated using a mixed acid comprising sulfuric acid and nitric acid, the concentration of sulfuric acid being 70 to 76% by weight and the amount of nitric acid being 33 to 55% by weight based on the total weight of sulfuric acid and nitric acid, whereby 1-nitroanthraquinone is obtained in a high yield and a high purity.

Abstract: Enzyme-containing detergent compositions containing, as essential ingredients, .alpha.-olefin sulfonates having 10 to 20 carbon atoms, polyethylene glycols having a weight-average molecular weight of 1,000 to 20,000 and enzymes are presented. These enzyme-containing detergent compositions do not cause the decrease in foaming property when objects being washed are previously soaked in an aqueous solution of the enzyme-containing detergent composition.

Abstract: Disclosed is a novel lead dioxide electrode excellent in shock-resistance, chemical-resistance and electrical conductivity, which has as the electrode proper at least one set of double layer consisting of an .alpha.-lead dioxide layer and a .beta.-lead dioxide layer.

Abstract: A process for producing 1-nitroanthraquinone with high purity which comprises treating crude 1-nitroanthraquinone containing as the main impurities dinitroanthraquinones and .beta.-nitroanthraquinone with an alkali sulfite in an aqueous medium under heating and which is characterized in that the crystals of the crude 1-nitroanthraquinone are pulverized by the aid of a pulverizer, a fine pulverizer or an ultra-fine pulverizer prior to and/or during the treatment with the aqueous alkali sulfite; and a process for producing 1-aminoanthraquinone which comprises subjecting the reaction mixture obtained by the said treatment with the alkali sulfite solution mentioned above, if necessary after further fine pulverization, to a reaction with a reducing agent, or ammonia or an aliphatic or aromatic amine.
