Abstract: A container for enclosing a sterile medical solution and method for mixing the same, such as a peritoneal dialysis solution. The container comprises a first compartment comprising the major part of the solution, such as an electrolyte solution comprising NaCl, CaCl.sub.2, etc., and two separate compartments, each comprising glucose in a high concentration. The entire container is autoclaved including the solutions as separated, thereby minimizing the formation of toxic products. During preparation for use, the second compartment or the third compartment, or both, are connected to the first compartment by breaking pins in a connection tube for each compartment. Depending upon the compartments connected to the first compartment, a different concentration of glucose results. Thus, all three of the usually employed glucose concentrations may be provided in a single container.

Abstract: A bottom or wall structure for a metallurgical vessel has a fireproof lining adjacent to an outer metallic envelope (10) of the vessel. The fireproof lining has on the side opposite to the metallic envelope (10) a wear lining (26) that is gas permeable in at least one of its sections and that covers with its gas permeable section at least one gas rinsing device (14) provided with an associated gas inlet (12), whereas the gas rinsing device (14) is set into a gas-tight receptacle (18).
