  • Composition and method for removal of wrinkles in fabrics
    Patent number: 4806254
    Abstract: An aqueous composition is provided for removing wrinkles from a fabric or garment comprising:(a) from about 10 to 60%, by weight, of one or more alcohols selected from the group consisting of ethyl, propyl and isopropyl alcohols;(b) from about 1 to 10%, by weight, of glycerine;(c) a nonionic surfactant in an amount sufficient to enhance the wettability of the fabric, and;(d) the balance waterThe process of using the de-wrinkling composition comprises spraying the composition on the wrinkled fabric or garment and then allowing same to dry.

  • Continuous process for cellulose saccharification
    Patent number: 4201596
    Abstract: A continuous process for effecting the acid hydrolysis of cellulosic waste materials, at high solids and in a most economically desirable manner. The process may be controlled to produce, as primary products, glucose, furfural and/or xylose. By appropriate control of water and temperature, through the use of direct steam injection, high solids feedstocks may quickly be converted, in good yields, to valuable products, thus making the process very attractive from a practical commercial standpoint.
