Abstract: The present invention relates to a simple apparatus for producing chlorine dioxide gas, and more specifically, a simple apparatus for producing chlorine dioxide gas in which a sand or silica gel layer, a chlorine dioxide producing layer and, if necessary, a coarse sand layer and a silica gel or zeolite layer sequentially fill the bottom of a tube, a number of solution-absorption holes are formed at the bottom of the tube, and a number of ClO2 outlets are formed at the top of the tube. According to the apparatus of the invention, it is possible to instantly produce a small amount of chlorine dioxide in simple and safe manner or possible to safely preserve or provide a small amount of chlorine dioxide for a long time.

Abstract: A liquid fire extinguishing composition is obtained by mixing a C.sub.1 -C.sub.5 halogenated alkane such as Halone 1301 (CF.sub.3 Br), Halone 1211 (CF.sub.2 ClBr), or a mixture thereof with an organophosphorus compound, or the mixture thereof for a wide variety of a fire extinguishment and no residues after fire extinguishing.

Abstract: A new process for the preparation of a 3-(4'-bromobiphenyl-4-yl)tetralin-1-one known as a key intermediate for the production of rodenticides and clinical medicines is provided. The title compound is prepared from P-bromobiphenylbenzylketone in three steps, wherein one of key inventions is dehydroxylation of 3-(4'-bromobiphenyl)-3-hydroxy-4-phenylbutyric acid ethyl ester using trialkylsilane in trifluoroacetic acid. This new process offers a high yield with a facile way and is more suitable for a commercial production than the prior art methods.
